Is it true that wearing rubber/latex gloves can help reduce static discharge? I wanna know because I like to work inside my compy and thought gloves would help reduce the risk of toasting something.

I prefer to use a condom - lubricated and has a tickling effect.

So as long as I'm properly grounded to the case I won't toast anything?
