Okay, dated comic book fan before comic book fan and had broken vagina. But not a virgin in sight.

Lastly, this piece of rare, Disney-approved poster art featuring Donald Duck teaching soliders about proper...protection...is wrong on so many levels. But it helped cut down on wartime STD transmissions by 36%.
