Including *mucus*. I am wondering if the true subtext of this story is:
"When we were first married sex was just amazing but now we are not ready to have a baby my husband is turned off by having to wear a rubber/doing withdrawal/terror of me getting pregnant. But thanks to Lysol, we now safely have lots of sex and I just douche it all away afterwards!"
*nods* Until I'd been apprised of the whole abortifacient/anticonception thiing, I just assumed ads like this were an excessive response to Unfeminine Odours...
Lynn Peril's Pink Think has quite a few pages devoted to the Lysol ads and ads for similar products (one that was supposedly a douche, a mouthwash, and a liquid for use in enemas !) and how they were disguised contraceptive ads.
