Talk:Double Dutch

message: Perhaps the statiscal analysis should be moved into the linked, and as yet uncreated, article on double contraception. It seems out of place here.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.131.207 (talk • contribs) 17:44, 11 October 2004 (UTC)

Unrelatedly: why would using a male and female condom simultaneously decrease the efficacy of both?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.23.129.74 (talk • contribs) 20:15, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

message: The reason the efficiency is decreased is because the friction of the two latex devices rubbing against each other increases the chance or tearing.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.236.185.252 (talk • contribs) 16:23, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Andycjp, I reverted the edits you made tonight.  I don't think it's appropriate to say what Christians think of the "spiritual safety" of contraception -- certainly not without mentioning what every other religion thinks about it, and even then this wouldn't be the right place for it.  You made a few other edits that I reverted all at once.  I do agree with you that "a lot of official institutions" could use a reference, though.  Bikeable 07:28, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I can't find anywhere to put this, but it's not like it's great stuff anyway: there are no sources, and it seems like a neologism to me. You can create a new article if you really want to, but for now I'm leaving this here. —Keenan Pepper 23:21, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

message: An additional meaning of Double Dutch is in the common UK phrase (I don't know whether it's used in other countries) : "It's all Double Dutch to me", which is used to express incomprehension.  A mon avis (I have no reference for this), the phrase is likely to have derrived from either the Tutnese or John O'Mill meaning but isn't mentioned in either article or on the disambiguation page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.83.163.4 (talk) 21:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "It's all Double Dutch to me"

message: This is a phrase in regular (UK) usage: http://www.thebeatproject.org.uk/Urban/15.html is an example.
The paragraphs above (`The phrase "going double dutch"...`)is about right in its explanation of how the technique works, although it needs a re-write ("the woman swallows an oral contraceptive" is an inaccurate description of an oral contraceptive regimen, as it must be taken every day and not just when sex is desired).  3% is an unreasonable figure to use for condom failure though: the typical use failure rate is more like about 15-20%, making the chance of getting pregnant when going double dutch about 1/5th of that chance of getting pregnant when using only the Pill/coil/etc.
When I finish my degree in a few weeks, I will create a page for "Double Dutch (contraceptive technique)" or "double contraception", with appropriate redirects, using the birth control template.  For the moment, I've revised the two-line description in the list.  90.241.213.155 (talk) 16:57, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
