Find an equally long, slender, creepy girl? Or at least one that's convinced boys have no taste for her kind?

Sure, you're like a slenderman, but even slendermen have to have a way to make more slendermen, right?

... though it probably doesn't involve condoms, come to think of it.

Yesterday a girl handed me a condom, then i realised that i have absolutely no use for one. And now i am depressed.

Would it be wrong to ask why you were handed a condom?...

I admit.  This is far from my area of knowing what the fuck I'm talking about... but I would think that normally being offered a condom by someone strongly suggests having an immediate use for it.

Could be one of those health outreach things they have on college campuses, where they just hand out free condoms like candy.
Protip: Do not confuse the condom for candy. Unless it's one of the flavored kind.

SalmonGod, how old are you and where did you grow up?

Doesn't that sort of thing happen, like, constantly? Just some folks tryin' to spread the love, y'know.

But yeah, like RedKing said, I knew people who'll just scoop up tons of those free ones and practically revel in walking around giving them to random people.

Tell me about it, fruit rollups do NOT make a very good prophylactic.

So yeah... FAR from my area of knowing what the fuck I'm talking about.  I knew most schools would give condoms out for free if you asked.  I'd never heard about them just going about distributing them, or of any individual spending their own money on a bunch just to hand them out for fun.

If there's a swelling around a cut, put peroxide, tea tree oil, or something else with biostatic/disinfectant qualities on it. Besides, it hurts less than cutting off part of you would.
I don't have anything like that. Maybe I should get some. Also I dunno if there is a cut or infection. I dunno. Most of the time I would not have posted since this... Painful swelling is somewhat normal, I guess in the pain of the moment I just wanted to complain. It has happened in the past and gone away on it's own. I have also cured it via stabbing my foot and draining puss out, but I can't do that this time without going though healthy flesh.

I always keep hydrogen peroxide and some cotton balls in my personal med-kit. It sterilizes tools, disinfects and helps cauterize cuts to combat infection, and even substitutes for mild bleaching, hair coloring, or mouthwash in a pinch. I used some just the other day to treat a sore on my cat's ear, and it's already started to go down. Useful stuff! Just keep it somewhere dark so it doesn't degrade.

Also, if the swelling is on a joint and there is no cut, it could be fluid from a cyst of some sort, or a lymph-node blockage. You technically can drain cysts and such yourself, but it requires an incision with a sterile needle... and I'd not feel comfortable mucking around with that myself, when I know there are tendons and major blood vessels around. If it persists, a medical professional is the best thing for it.

Go find a use for one? Depending on how you treat it, you've still got a while before it goes bad!

The girls aint got no taste for my kind, im like what slenderman would be if he listened to metal.. long and slender, and creepy, and noisy.
There's other uses besides sex. Water balloon?

Drive on the highway with some friends. Open it, and hold it firmly out the window, the opening to the wind. Make it not only a hilarious wind-sock, but also a cultural faux pas... especially if it's elastic enough to stretch inordinately big.

Yeah, it mostly comes from the combination of people handing them out for fun because they got them for free from the school, in my experience.

It may be a relatively more recent phenomena, as schools handing out free condoms by the bucketload have probably become significantly more common since you were there. :P

Trust me, those actually don't taste very good either.

Back in my day, people would rather use them for pranks.  It was especially popular to stretch them over the spouts of drinking fountains.

Though the various safe-sex promoting groups are a lot more popular too, and they make handing them out while walking around a regular occurrence.

I didn't actually see all that much prank use when I was in school, strangely.

The worst we ever did (condom-wise) at university was have a condom balloon fight. You'd think Durex would have appreciated the data, even under those circumstances only three or four broke.

I remember when I was in school, I'd learned a lot of sex ed stuff on my own since they didn't teach it and took it upon myself to educate others.

No not like that. I held a small class in a club room and gave out condoms and things. I was a troublemaker at first but I became pretty responsible over time.

Erm.
Why would they even flavor them? :-/

Good is not the same as better than nothing? (In this case, better than unflavoured condoms?)

Though I have to be honest, I'm not entirely sure I agree with the statement that they don't taste very good - I do suppose it depends on which one you've gotten, of course.
