As a American, a rubber means one thing. I was thinking back on the last time I used one but then realized that you were teasing us with the British meaning. Clever girl.
I think what you call rubbers, we call erasers. They are for removing pencil marks from paper.
The last time I remember using those was when I was designing a headstone for my parents when my mom died in 1998. I've used them since, but not often.
I've only used the other kind of rubber three times in my life, even though I had girlfriends from the time I was 16.
I hit nearly a 5 year dry spell from around age 29 because of weight gain that resulted from a career that changed my entire lifestyle. During that time, I didn't think I was worthy of a girlfriend, or I didn't want the kind of girlfriend who would want me for a boyfriend. I was pretty miserable but I was making good money.
So, one time in my early 30s, I went to Las Vegas for a few days to visit an aunt who lived in the suburbs. I stayed at Caesar's Palace. One night I called the number for an escort service. I used a condom on the girl who arrived at my room. She wasn't so great and the experience was underwhelming.
Around the same time but afterward, a rich friend held a big party at his business. It was wild with free booze and strip tease acts. He introduced me to a beautiful young women and told me to take her upstairs. Obviously, she was a fairly expensive call girl. She supplied a condom and provided a wonderful experience.
The only other time I ever wore a condom was the first time one particular girlfriend and I had sex in 1992 when I was 37. She was my second girlfriend after I had recovered from my 5 year slump and gotten back in shape three years earlier. After that first time, though, I never used a rubber with her again and we virtually lived together for over a year. She was 30-31, hypersexual and orgasmic, and our time together was one giant fuck fest.
Pencil erasers are handy, but I hate using rubbers. 😂
Whose rubber is that? I think I know.
Its owner is quite happy though.
Full of joy like a vivid rainbow,
I watch him laugh. I cry hello.
He gives his rubber a shake,
And laughs until her belly aches.
The only other sound's the break,
Of distant waves and birds awake.
The rubber is odd, academic and deep,
But he has promises to keep,
After cake and lots of sleep.
Sweet dreams come to him cheap.
He rises from his gentle bed,
With thoughts of kittens in his head,
He eats his jam with lots of bread.
Ready for the day ahead.
Everyone knows rubbers means condoms 😊. Actually, I take that back. Maybe it means something diff in Britain.
I hate using them but when I don't know the guy very well I tell him to put one on.

@purplepoppy Interesting play on words. You know that a rubber in British English is an eraser, while in American English, it's a condom.
For me, I used an eraser just a couple hours ago, while doing a crossword puzzle in pencil. It's been several years since I used a condom, from before my current 6-year SO relationship.
I know you're talking about pencil erasers, and in that case probably last month since I occasionally hand draft for work. But, I'll bite on the double entendre you obviously intended:
My wife hasn't gone back on birth control after the birth of our son, so we use rubbers still. However, I'm in the process of scheduling a vasectomy, and after the follow-up appointments, assuming my sperm count comes back at zero, that won't be a thing anymore.
When I sketched up my most recent woodworking project. Looks great on paper but I made some errors in tool and material choices. Tempted to just bin the damn thing and get a desk from Ikea.
When the radio wasn't working right so I disconnected the mouthpiece cable and used the rubber on the connectors and reconnected the cable and asked for immediate air support and exfil.
Brilliant
Always carry one in your wallet... just might save your life...😉
I do a lot of pencil sketching. I have three different kinds on my desk.
(I’ve never thought of you as an adult. You’re posts always seem so childlike. I will try to reform my thinking about you, however.)
I think the rubber industry is doing pretty horribly right now but it will bounce back. Hahahahahahahahaha. No but seriously I just use rubber gloves.
We use erasers to erase mistakes. You must find it complicated to use a limp condom to try to erase things.
Never used them I won't even watch a porn if they are using one
Eraser? Not sure, couple of years ago maybe.
Condom? Couple of weeks ago
I like using prophylactics to keep all the cum contained not creating a messy goo all over the place especially my bed.
The last one I used was from my friend Johnny, I asked to borrow it,,,
I am seeing someone now.. so I don't... but last time been over 2 years... Can't stand rubbers
We are not clear what a rubber is across the pond. So please update lol
15 years. But we use spermicide and the pill. Double teamed it those bastards.
I guess it makes sense now why you were the only who in the classroom who caught the clap.
m Somewhere around the last time I used a plaster.
m Last time I used a sketch pad
I never make mistakes 🤣
Just the other day when it rained
I have a rubber band in my hair
