I think many of us have have a fuckbuddy or 2.
One girl I was friends with benefits with got too attached to, and I had to explain to her what it was about, but she just went psycho on me and so I walked away.
I got loads of abuse from her via SMS for days after.

I'm English, the majority of my friends are English, we call a condom a condom. I've never heard, in my 40+ years, a condom be called a 'French rubber'. I've never even heard of this phrase, it's a new one on me.Originally Posted by Mary Magdalene
Irish can be good at it too.I keep two of them on my fuckbuddies list for when I'm not working.
But I do admit we're better at it than most Europeans, continental or islanders.
P.S.
Offtopic fun fact:
The English call a condom 'French rubber' whilst we French call it 'capote anglaise' (English overcoat).
Must be a reason right there for ye.

Please do what you can for her daughter. Deeply appreciated.

I think it is uncommon, but I have heard "French letter" used.

An old name for Syphilis is "French pox",
And the French are supposed to have called it the English disease.

Bit of the Blackadders here.
English blame the French for everything and vice versa.
“French leave” and so on.....

An English overcoat, that's so true, manIrish can be good at it too.
But I do admit we're better at it than most Europeans, continental or islanders.

'From at least the 18th century, condom use was opposed in some legal, religious, and medical circles for essentially the same reasons that are given today: condoms reduce the likelihood of pregnancy, which some thought immoral or undesirable for the nation; they do not provide full protection against sexually transmitted infections, while belief in their protective powers was thought to encourage sexual promiscuity.'
'Beginning in the second half of the 19th century, American rates of sexually transmitted diseases skyrocketed. Condoms were not promoted for disease prevention because the medical community and moral watchdogs considered STDs to be punishment for sexual misbehavior.'
'In 1839, Charles Goodyear discovered a way of processing natural rubber, which is too stiff when cold and too soft when warm, in such a way as to make it elastic. This proved to have advantages for the manufacture of condoms. The first rubber condom was produced in 1855. This type of condom was the original "capote" (French for condom), perhaps because of its resemblance to a woman's bonnet worn at that time, also called a capote.'
FRENCH LETTER (ENVELOPE) or FRENCH RUBBER or FRENCH SAFES or FRENCH TICKLER were terms used by the bigots of the American/English upper classes as if to perpetuate the idea that the French were prone to sexual promiscuity, hence more likely to use such a device.

Yes, that too. Not very common use nowadays, dates back centuries.

No problem whatsoever with the English. After all they do love our baguettes.

There is supposed to be a French phrase 'filer a l' anglaise", meaning the same thing.
And baise anglaise may have the meaning of FK.
But you'"ll have to pardon my French.
It's rudimentary.
