[nabs-l] Long-Distance Dating

[David Andrews]

I don't know what the norms are at health centers, they didn't offer 
birth control stuff when I was in school, back in early 70's.  You 
could go to drugstore, and ask, what I always did.  And -- for what 
it's worth, I remember some of my sighted fraternity brothers 
agonizing over how to procure condoms.  And ... then there was the 
famous scene in  the movie The Summer of '42.
