GEICO May Have To Pay $5.2 Million To Woman Who Got STD In Insured Car

It seems GEICO may have to keep its promise about helping drivers save money on car insurance. The Missouri Court of Appeals is siding with a woman who won a $5.2 million award against GEICO, in a case that centers on a unique auto injury claim. The woman says she contracted a sexually transmitted disease after having sex in a car whose owner was insured by GEICO. 

GEICO had told the woman its auto insurance coverage didn’t apply because the “damages claimed did not arise out of the normal use of the vehicle”—but because the car was covered by GEICO at the time, the company is obligated to compensate her for contracting HPV from its owner in the vehicle, citing medical expenses and her pain and suffering. She says the man “was insured against his personal liability arising from his negligence in actions involving his automobile,” and that makes GEICO responsible. The federal case is now set for a jury trial.

FDA Authorizes Latex Panties To Wear During Oral Sex

ALEXA FONTANILLA / AGGIE

In a historical first, the FDA has authorized panties to be used during oral sex to protect against STIs. The ultrathin, super-stretchy, vanilla-flavored panties are meant to be worn during oral sex for people “with vulvas.” For people of all ages, a protective barrier that is enjoyable to use could “reduce anxiety and increase pleasure around that particular behavior,” said a doctor who helped make the panties.

The only product previously authorized for protection during oral sex was a dental dam—a thin, rectangular sheet of latex (or sometimes polyurethane) that typically must be held in place with one’s hands to form a barrier between the mouth and genitals. “The F.D.A.’s authorization of this product gives people another option to protect against S.T.I.s during oral sex,” said director of the F.D.A. office that led the review of the underwear. “What’s interesting about this is that they have basically eroticized protection, which is something that condom companies have struggled with for years.”
