  I like the phrasing of “want” rather than “need.”

      But we don’t taste with the tongue, just bitter, salty, etc.

    Originally, it served a need. Now, I imagine, it serves a want.

      I mean they can definitely overlap. I want to live so I want and need my medication. That kind of thing.

      I think my amusement is more that “those who want to take very bitter medicines” sounds to me more like they’re doing it on a whim. :)

    It was originally “want.” They became addicted, so now it’s “need.”

    Yeah I just woke up but it took me a minute figure out what was happening. I thought it was saying that people prefer the bitter medicine, so I was confused why they didn’t want to taste it.

      I’m still wondering if anyone is using them. I know quite a few people with all kind of sexual orientations as preferences and no one ever used them once. But maybe that’s just how it’s around here?

    It doesn’t work as a condom since the other parts of your mouth may make contact. A better choice is cling film.

      I’m not sure that’s normally how that works. That is the condom doesn’t go on the thing that gets pregnant.
