It’s been sitting on my counter since I moved. Yes, I swear there is a reason for it. The stuff in the bowl is barley. Yes, I swear there’s a reason for that, too.
Eventually, it will be part of a much larger post. Really.

You still haven’t done anything with it?!?
At least you still have it! 😀
We moved it very carefully!
I don’t remember if it was David or I who asked what he was doing with barley and condoms, but it was explained, and we were enlightened.
I’m waiting on this “much longer post”.

Reminds me of that time I ended up jerking off with Apricot / Walnut shell Facial scrub.
Man that *still* hurts thinking about it.
LOL. OW. LOL.
In the “stupid sex injuries” category, I’ll add that using Ivory soap as a lubricant is not recommended. Ow.
OWWWWWWWWWW.
My nonexistent penis is trying to crawl up into my abdomen.

Is that like a *really small* sackful of doorknobs?

Very good, you chose the non-lubricated kind. I can almost picture your diabolical plan. Only a few details left to fill in….

Homebrewing beer and fucking while waiting?
At least, that’s what I’d be doing.

They still make non-lubricated condoms?
And I don’t trust Trojans. They’re the only brand that has ever broken on me.

O..kay… now there’s something to leave the masses wondering. Why a condom with buckwheat? Perhaps it is an experiment. How many ounces of buckwheat will go into a single condom? =D

That *is* buckwheat, by the way.

Hmm. Apparently, I don’t know my grains. I hope buckwheat will work in place of barley…
Depends on what you want/need to do with it.
If you were using it as a filler to stuff something with. . .say, a pillow or well, maybe a condom, they’d both work the same. If you wanted to cook them, they’re quite different. (see below)

GRAINS COOKING CHART
GRAIN (1 cup dry) WATER COOK TIME CUPS YIELD
Barley, pearled 3 c 50 – 60 min. 3 1/2
Barley, hulled 3 c 1 hr. 15 min. 3 1/2
Buckwheat groats 2 c 15 min.. 2 1/2
Basic cooking directions for all grains begins with measuring the grains and water into a saucepan. If you are cooking 1 cup (240 ml) of grains, use a 2-quart (2 liter) saucepan. Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt if desired.
Cover the saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn the heat down to low, and steam for the recommended cooking time. Lift the lid and test the grains for tenderness. If the grains need more time, cover the saucepan and steam 5 to 10 minutes longer. If the grains need more cooking time and all the water has been absorbed, add up to 1/4 cup (60 ml) of water, cover, and continue steaming.
If tender, turn off the heat and allow the grains to rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving to fluff.
Buckwheat is the exception to the basic directions. Because the grain is so porous and absorbs water quickly, it’s best to bring the water to a boil first. Then, add the buckwheat. When the water returns to a boil, cover the saucepan, turn the heat down to low, and time the steaming process.
*Buckwheat groats are available toasted and untoasted. Cooking times are the same.
That *is* buckwheat, by the way.

Making hackysacks, or juggling balls?
Or a set of false bits for a girl to stuff down her jockey shorts to look like a guy?
Or DIY Ergot for that lethal medieval trip?
Grain filled 12 gauge condom “slugs” for hunting cats and small birds?
Polishing silver charms (place in condom with grain, roll around with hands for hours)
Excellent suggestions, all of them. Not what I was planning, mind, but I’ll have to keep them in mind.

One is supposed to sow wild oats, not buckwheat.
I think I’ll use the fact that I can’t figure out what this is for in my defense, if I’m ever brought to trial for my crimes against nature.
