Eventually what I had to do is move to Magnums. They don't seem to choke you. However, with that said, do not allow either you or your guy to use that as an excuse for not using one. Never.
Eventually, you can move a monogamous relationship to that point where you no longer use a condom, but that means, you've had the talks about STDs, you know they have been tested or have been or not been quite active and so on. | |

Losing sensativity...........PFFT!!!!!! nonsence
Ummm You're a woman right?
So just how do you know whether or not it causes a loss of sensitivity or not...?
As for condoms particularly flavoured ones:
Novelty condoms, glow-in-the-dark, colored and flavoured ones should not be used for protection or contraception, unless from a well-known brand name and stating on the packaging that they are safe for protection and contaception. "Novelty" condoms are not required to undergo the strict quality controls etc that are mandated for regular condoms. They could have been manufactured in any 3rd world country. - No regulations or quality contols...
Anyone who relies on a condom from a washroom vending machine is kidding themselves, unless again, it's from a reliable and well known manufacturer and is not before it's expiry date. Ladies do you KNOW where he got that condom?
A condom kept in awallet or purse for over a month should be discarded. They have to be stored properly or they may not protect you.
Not all condom failures / flaws are visible.
Oral sex without a condom:
If you brush your teeth before or after performing oral sex, it's likely your toothbrush opened up thousands of tiny scratches on your gums and around your teeth. As a result you should not brush or floss for several hours at least before or after performing oral sex on anyone without a condom.
If you have Gingivitis, and many of us do to a certain degree, you should not perform oral sex on anyone without a condom. | |

and then we both agree to test out at an STD clinic.
How do men get tested for STD's. I've heard its only a blood test. Does the bloodtest cover every thing. | |

Posted: 7/8/2008 5:41:39 PM | How many of you actually know that exchange of any body fluids is a problem? Apparently none of you. Actually think about this or consult your doctor. A condom should be used on the oral sex thing also. So, safe sex is everything with a condom girls and boys. IF you want to get technical. I am sure this statement will get a response. It is absoluately true.   
Besides all of this and the sensative questions... I am not a guy but.........
Sex is first in the mind, the visual, the touch, the taste, the smell, and it could all start with talking a walk, doing the dishes, making the bed or just gazing into each others eyes. Then get to the actual act. But please, keep in mind that the more you are truly into each other you will definately keep things going. | |

any man that has this issue, is quite aware of it. In fact, it probably plays a role in him NOT getting involved with someone because he know's he's going to have to face it. The apprehension of losing an erection can cause a downward spiral of worsening performance, most of which is psychological.
The solution is simple. Have him take the blue pill (or the yellow or whatever works for him). HUGE difference and GREAT help when it's needed.
If the pill is not an acceptable solution for him, try different brands of condoms... and please offer support and patience.
If you feel a condom is required, your partner should always respect that. Otherwise, they aren't considerate enough to be your partner.
Oh, and I'm always game for ice cream! | |

Well, I don't know how it is for everyone.
But...
In my case, the doctor performs a visual examination which would show any lesions, warts, Crabs Scabies etc...
Also get asked a small history of # of partners? anything risky? Needle Use? etc...
This is a good time to verify that you are getting tested for as much as possible ( not all tests are done unless requested (ie HIV-2 is not always tested for...)
Then a swab is inserted in the opening at the end of the penis, (about an inch to an inch and a half - This is a little uncomfortable but not painful).
Then, after the swab( not before ) I have to fill a little bottle with urine...
Then finally they take a few blood samples from my arm (2 or 3) can't remember last time but I think it was 2.
During this time you also sign a form stating that in the event of HIV you are aware the Health Dept or some such organisation gets notified of your status....
So that's about it... took about 20 minutes....
Last time it took 3 days to get the results (used to take up to two weeks)
No aftereffects from any of it.... pretty simple and painless....
And the best part?
You get to have sex after the results come back!!!! | |

So, safe sex is everything with a condom girls and boys
This is very true...
It fascinates me the number of people who will go down on another person without a condom, and then proceed to insist on having a condom for intercourse.
Let's face it, if oral sex without protection was safe, Lesbians would basically never get STD's...
However, there have been cases of woman to woman HIV transmission through oral sex...
On the Center for Disease Control Website and others....
However, case reports of female-to-female transmission of HIV and the well-documented risk of female-to-male transmission indicate that vaginal secretions and menstrual blood are potentially infectious and that mucous membrane (for example, oral, vaginal) exposure to these secretions has the potential to lead to HIV infection | |

Posted: 7/9/2008 12:09:50 PM | | Oral sex is considered to be low-risk for HIV unless there is a pre-existing sore like a syphilis or herpes sore. This is why syphilis and HIV co-infection has become a problem in some pockets of the MSM community where they are having unprotected oral sex with multiple partners. I also wanted to respond to the testing issue. We don't usually swab a man unless he has a discharge. The swab is to check for trichomonas. We use the NAAT urine test for chlamydia and gonorrhea. So, if you are clear with your practitioner about what you do sexually, that helps to determine the necessary tests. | |

An inch to an inch and a half!!!! A little uncomfortable??? Sheesh.
It took me a few years to get a vasectomy once I heard the needle, to do the freezing, was into each testicle!!! Just the thought of sticking something into the opening of my penis makes my legs cross over!!!! It's a sensitive area!! | |

Posted: 7/9/2008 3:33:19 PM | I've heard about it happening, I don't know what people are talking about when they say this. I think it's a mental preference not to wear them, or depending on what religion you are, what you've been taught about condoms. I've heard from a Catholic friend of mine that this happens to him because of what he's afraid the almighty might think about him using one.
If it's a feeling issue, there are thin condoms on the market that really do feel like using nothing at all. I've been buying Kimono condoms for quite awhile now given they feel like nothing at all. | |

Posted: 7/12/2008 1:50:19 PM | There is vastly less risk of contracting an STI from oral
NOT! Depends on the STI. Regardless, seems ridiculously silly to take the risk.
THANKS MARATHON MAN! What amazes me is that never have teens or people in their 20's had more sex and never before has this age group been so clueless in regards to it.
Herpes and many viruses can lay dormant and no signs or symptoms while you are still spreading it. Many bacterias can be treated, but the damage can still be permanent including not being able to have children, or damage to the male organs as well.
This generation is spreading herpes like wildfire with oral sex and its scary.
Any woman in this day and age allowing a man to screw them; (especially when so many people have so many partners); without protection is clueless and irresponsible IMHO. The same thing happened in the 70's and 80's with STD's and AIDS and its happening now. You want to be sleazy with your sex life guys and girls, in the end you pay. Nice post marathon. The responsibility for protection is on both sexes. Act responsibly. Sex isn't a toy. | |

Posted: 7/12/2008 2:08:50 PM | This is pretty funny in its own way.
Sometimes I use them and sometimes I wont. It depends on who I am & how much I love them along with and how fertile she may be.
When I do use them it does feel less enjoyable. I think its becasue a guy has to get hard and then stop to put the damn thing on and he can get soft or semi -soft in that process. No need finding them, tearing the cover and the puting the damn the on and wasting time.
I did try a different brand and they were made thinner. It helped a bit more but still not enough. | |

Posted: 7/12/2008 6:13:41 PM | Here is a little sexual educational lesson 101. It may may us reconsider our favorite lists for the heartless lovers ..........HMMMM FACT......
Now, If you don't believe me check with planned pregnancy or your local high school education department!!!!
STDS are transmitted orally.
yes a KISS. Any exchange of saliva !!!!!!S U P R I S E!!!!!!!!
S O next time you want a hooker to give you a B J or think that going down on her isn't having s e x YOU are WRONG. That will be corrected biblically and medically. By God and by sexually trandmitted diseases. Next, Ok use a condom......and spermicide. condoms break. Now who hasn't had a condom break on them? That is when the AIDS and all the fun diseases spread. The only thing that a woman really doesn't have to worry about is pregnancy if she also has another form of contreception.
I don't know but i don't exactely want to go around sucking face with weird men . I don't understand, what people's problem's are today with just loving one person? | |

Posted: 7/12/2008 8:08:33 PM | | there is a difference in sensitivity but I agree with the No Glove No love comment to many things floating around out there these days. Though make sure you have the right size its easy to flex the right muscles and make it grow much larger than normal for a short time(or make it wag like a dog :) male kagels a must for all men to practice) and if you are big enough to break a standard condom putting it on then you need to ensure you have the next size up and insist on it. Girls should also have an idea of how far they will stretch too so as to not get into a bad breakage situation. | |

But either a complete std check, with the paperwork to prove it?
Or, oh, hell..its not worth it.
I can wait. Got my own certificate of authenticity...LOL
Sometimes...its worth the wait.

Posted: 7/13/2008 8:17:50 PM | Yes, they suck because of the break in action and loss of sensation. However there is a way around this that would be nice if women would take into consideration. Make it FUN. Don't treat us guys like a diseased cesspool. Find a way to turn it into something desirable. No Prego Sex can be Great Sex. No disease sex is not a turn on. Sex is mostly mental and being covering in plastic wrap to avoid a virus is not great mental stimulation.
Having a test prior can relieve a whole lot of concerns that the person your with is to scared to tell you the truth, or is really deceitful and is trying to hurt you and then you can be comfortable having "no prego sex."
How about this; If you’re not doing the one night stand thing, if your into having an equally committed relationship without power and control issues make the test itself fun. Make both of your appointments together and be there as a confident upstanding member of the dating community and show that your willing to not be judgmental or condescending. Have the discussion before your pants come off. If you want the heat of the moment, can't control yourself, take me now, spontaneous first time sex... watch a porno... Other then that please participate in the sex that you want and stop expecting it to magically happen without your participation. | |

Posted: 7/14/2008 6:43:34 PM | | Well I'm a bi guy who never uses condoms. If I'm having sex with a woman or if a guy is doing me, it doesn't matter I DON"T WANT A CONDOM INVOLVED. However I have caught HIV, HSV, and anal warts from my years of experience. I can't use them on myself and want a guy to shoot in me. But a bloodtest only covers so much. You need to do swab tests of the penis which does hurt, to find some of them, the blood tests will find HIV, Syphilis, and a few others but not all. | |
