Kirk glanced dubiously down at the pack of Dura-Trojans that his Horta lover had just given him. They seemed much too thick and heavy to be of any practical use.

With a nervous gulp, Kirk, now feeling much less confident, hastily removed a condom from the package. He found himself thinking just how fragile and insubstantial it suddenly appeared to be.
