by Denise Duhamel     "……The use of condoms offers substantial protection， but does not     guarantee total protection and that while     there is no evidence that deep kissing has resulted in     transfer of the virus， no one can say that such transmission     would be absolutely impossible."     ——The Surgeon General， 1987     I know you won't mind if I ask you to put this on.     It's for your protection as well as mine——Wait.     Wait.  Here， before we rush into anything     I've bought a condom for each one of your fingers. And here——     just a minute——Open up.     I'll help you put this one on， over your tongue.     I was thinking：     If we leave these two rolled， you can wear them     as patches over your eyes. Partners have been known to cry，     shed tears， bodily fluids， at all this trust， at even the thought     of this closeness.
