<div>I recently received a copy of the book "National study of
sexual and reproductive knowledge and behaviour in Papua New Guinea"
(Papua New Guinea Institute of Medical Research Monograph No. 10, by
The National Sex and Reproduction Research Team and Carol Jenkins,
1994).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Some terms of interest:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>nekedim em tru: "fucked up; fucked hard" (pp. 101,
146)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>singel fail: "a line-up of men having sex with one woman"
(pp. 105, 147)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>gumi: "rubber; condom; intra-uterine device" (p.
146)</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I have heard "gumi bilong kok" specifically refer to a
condom (e.g., see<font face="Lucida Grande" size="-3" color="#000000">
http://www.june29.com/HLP/lang/pidgin.html</font>). Is
"gumi bilong kan" ever used for an IUD, or is this just
"<font face="Lucida Grande" size="-3" color="#000000">samting
bilong pasim bel</font>"?</div>
