Condom sex
I used a condom for the first time in my life last weekend. My girlfriend's been using pills since our first time, so we haven't needed one before. Anyway, we both were a bit surprised how different it felt. She thought it felt strange and uncomfortable and I only felt the rubber, and the sex didn't feel even close to as good as without one.
So, I became wondering how you feel about using one, do you think it lessens the pleasure you get from sex or not? I for one am glad that I probably don't have to use one ever again. I'm just wondering if people who've always used one even know how much more enjoyable sex is without one. I'm not encouraging anyone to not use one, I know how imporant it is if you have many partners etc. |

I for one no longer need to use one, snip snip. The feeling you get with one vs. without is totally different. There still is pleasure there, it's just different. But it doesn't lessen what you are doing. Wearing a condom is not a bad thing in anyway. You were pretty lucky that you never "had" to wear one before. I almost always wore one, hated the feeling, but wore it anyway. You do what you have to do.

I've had sex without a condom.
I've had sex with a condom. Sex with a condom is FUCKING FANTASTIC. Wanna know why? Because I know the chances of me getting pregnant or get an STD are greatly reduced. That feeling of security is great. With my college boyfriend I think we used condoms maybe a half dozen times. If that. I was naive. I was with a guy who had just been tested for STD's 3 months earlier (he was engaged to be married, ended up breaking up) and he had a vastectomy (probably butchered that spelling) so I knew that was safe and we didn't use condoms. I used condoms with my last partner. And I had no complaints at all. Maybe he was just better than the other two, but either way, I'm not willing to risk pregnancy or an STD. Next time I'm in a serious relationship (and I trust my partner not to cheat) we'll get tested for STD's together, I'll get on the pill and we'll stop using condoms. Until then, it's condoms every time.

My wife just started the patch birth control. I can't wait until we can ditch the condoms. She was on the pill before (the pill did not treat her well) so we know what we are missing.

I've always used condoms and I don't really have any complaints about them. Though, yes, the few times I went without one felt much much better than with. However, I don't think that its worth the risk. My girlfriend is on the pill and we still try to use them everytime, we don't want there to be any chance of something getting through.

We always used one- except for once we used just foam. Then I got pregnant. But then we wouldn't be blessed with our wonderful 4 yr old son.
But then my husband got fixed and now there is no such things as condoms around here.......and thank God- I love the feel of HIM. |

Used to when my wife and I first started going out, but haven't even touched one in a few years i reckon.

it definately feels different. but if also makes a huge difference on what kind you use. I don't like to use ANYTHING but trojan. for a number of reasons. From breakage, to being too thick, to not fitting at all.

Used them -- they have there pros and cons. Definitely like the lower risk of pregnancy and stds. I also like less mess for me. Don't like not feeling him -- especially not feeling him come.

I'm probably crazy, but i prefer condom sex even if hte girl is on the pill. There are a few reasons:
1. I'm ultra paranoid about pregnancy, you have no idea. I mean, i get nervous a week before a girl's period bc i just know that this one won't come...Condoms let me enjoy sex w/out too much worry. 2. there is something about the act of putting or having a condom put on. I guess it's ritualistic, but the smell and feel initially just makes me happy. 3. there is more control over orgasmic response. Without a condom, an hour-hour and a half is about as long as i can go, wtih a condom, it's pretty much whenever she's had enough and i've had enough. 4. Cleanup is pretty easy and i don't have to worry about pulling out or getting it in her hair Things i don't like about condoms: 1. Certain types burn. Trojans are notorious for me for burning. I'm talking weekend in the bedroom, you get up to go pee and you wait and when you can finally pee, it's like fire and it strikes you to your knees. From what i've read, monoxinol 9 (sp?) is basically a cleanser/detergent and i'm not allergic to it, but the constant rubbing and pushing it in and out of the urinary opening causes irritation. 2. Durex condoms...don't ever use these, instead, go out to your car and remove your spare tire and wrap that around your rod of passion...Seriously, these things are so thick, you could go hump a knot hole in a tree and wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Also, they are less flexible, so they break more easily.. 3. any ribbed condoms...after 2-3 hrs, they start to hurt and you start pulling hairs. Also, it's kinda hard to "finish" with those bc the stimulation is weird. I, and my partners in the past, prefer somethign like a lifestyles ultrathin or just regular lifestlyes with monox 9. 4. Nothing is scarier than pulling out and shooting over your partners head (doggy style) when you're supposed to have a condom on...They break after a while, so i just get into the habit of swapping them out periodically. 5. ever have one break and get stuck inside a girl? it's not fun... 6. NEVER use KY jelly wtih a condom. Rather, never forget to reapply jelly every 30 minutes. We were given a tube for fun from some friends...so we tried it just to see if it would make a difference...things were going smoothly, then i noticed the friction rate kicked up like 10000%..it was like "stroke stroke oo, this feels good but i'm not close to finishing...stroke stroke...oh my god, what happened...stroke...i'm about to..stroke..OOHHH" and you pull out at the last moment and you realize the condom is hanging inside your girl. It takes quite a bit of tugging and pulling before the condom is dislodged. It makes for quite an interesting scene to see what looks like a baloon opening sticking out of your gf's opening...kinda like she's a rubber doll and they put the nozzle in the crotch ![]() 7...not having one handy. You'd think a girl could put then in the nightstand..but NOOOO, she's gotta keep them in her panties drawer across the room...Sheeeeeeeeeesh.. 8. the wrappers...i dunno how, but they always turn up somewhere when someone comes to visit. Sooo...while i have twice as many negatives as positives, i'll still love my condom. It has seen my through hte good times and the bad times. It has helped me through the rough times...and the really rough times...It's put up with the hard times...and the *sniff* not so hard times (never try to fornicate in the garage of a 17 yr old's house when their parents are inside watching tv..it just doesn't function well in 50 degree weather...)..and it's seen me through those times when no man is an atheist..."Oh please..oh please please please start..i'm begging, pleaasseee please just bleed.." and through thick and thin, big and tall, small and skinny, it's been by my side, ready for action, ready to rumble, ready to throw down, ready to get buck wild, ready to party, ready to dress up for a formal affair, ready to protect and to serve... Alas, my condom...for a while there, i thought i would never use one again....heck, they were joking that my trojan pack was written in ancient greek.. Have fun, be safe, don't get upset if you get her pregnant bc you weren't using SOMETHING. and above all...make sure the girl gets off first..that's just a cardinal rule

I've never had sex without a condom. I don't mean to offend anyone, but sex without a condom (even if your partner is on birth control) is just plain stupid and totally irresponsible.
But intercourse with a condom doesn't feel very good to me, so we do a lot of oral and hands-on techniques. It's great. |

I don't like using a condom, me and my gf of 2 years only use one right before I'm about to cum. Up until then, we go unprotected, we are monogomous and have no stds, shes not on bc right now as we still need to get tests back from her doctor about what she can use because she has family history of health problems related to bc. And if we do end up having a kid together, we'll perfectly well accept it, which is what is happening now, but after 2 years of this. I hate the feel of a condom and she does too, so we just go at it until I'm about to cum then put one on and go at it some more. It's risky, but with us, we're willing to accept the risk.

Using condoms is great for the security issues. I have my tricks and don't have to worry about std's or getting the girl pregnant. But it does not take away from the questions on hand: It is definitely better without a condom. No doubt about it.

Shop around. I like Japanese-made latex condoms best -- very thin but rarely fail -- but your mileage may vary. Really, try different brands.
That said, I never cared for them much. They were a necessity much of the time, not all the time. They do cut down on sensation, and as you get into your '40s, you need all the sensation you can get, frankly.... |

Condom sex doesnt even compare to sex without. I love the feeling of him inside me, and frankly I find the feeling of sex with a condom quite uncomfortable and it diesnt get me off at all.

They don't bother me...
Like Averett said, it gives me extra peace of mind which allows me to get into it mentally. If I were in a very long term, monogamous relationship with someone I imagined a future with...then I'd go bareback, since I'm on the patch. But until then, I'm a "no glove, no love" girl.

One of my friends is on the pill. She also recently was tested positive for Hepatitis C. It can also take upwards of 10 years to show any signs of HPV or HIV/AIDS. So you may *look* healthy *now* you may even test negative now, but that doesn't mean you will in the future.
Condoms don't even protect you from things like crabs and strains of HPV. So even then, condoms aren't 100%, but at least it effectively reduces your chances of getting most for-life STIs. The feeling of security in the health of you and your partner far outweighs the physical feeling, IMO. While you trust your partner to monogamous, their past can creep up on them. Or, they might do something behind your back, as we've seen in various threads on Tilted Sexuality. A lot of people think, "oh my partner would never..." only find out that they did. The group that currently has the highest risk of contracting HIV/AIDS are heterosexual women (in MONOGAMOUS relationships, like marriages, because their husbands slept around behind their backs).

I'll admit, I was one of the stupid peole who have rarely used one when I should have been. I've been lucky, got an STD once.. I've been tested and my SO has been tested and she's had her tubes tied.. I truely think the feelign of using one is almost a detached feeling.. I really don't like it at all. But if my current situtation were to change andi was back dating, i would probablyuse one.. Too much out there and too much to live for.

I wish I didn't have to wear one. My girlfriend wants to go on the pill but even then I wouldn't really feel safe about the whole pregnancy deal. We've had sex without a condom a couple of times and we've already had one scare.
Sex without a condom feels so much better though, even more so for her apparently. The first couple of times she was able to orgasm were without a condom. Since then she's been able to even with a condom, so it's not so bad. Still... |

Sex without a condom feels so much better for the both of us. Also, anal sex without a condom is a hell of a lot more intense than with a condom.
My girlfriend and I decided to go on the pill after we both got tested for HIV and all other STDs.... And we've subsequently gotten tested again. However, now I feel a bit worried even though she takes the pill regularly and we're in a monogamous relationship because she doesn't take the pill everyday at the same exact time (and I'm afraid that this may increase the failure rate for the pill then).

Taking it around the same time, within the hour, adds more reliability to it. One of my friends missed only one pill after remembering for several years. As a result, her son was born 19 Oct. 2003. She and her fiance were planning on a kid, the timing was just off.

Dont want to but its cheaper than the pill and DEFINATLY cheaper than getting a baby out of it. Just tell yourself sex without a condom is a special occasion. When you and your loved one are ready for anything even a child then CHARGE INTO BATTLE WITHOUT A HELMET! |

Of course there's a world of difference without the condom, but I don't mind using one. We've been using condoms with the pill just for that extra piece of mind (not not mention easy cleanup).
The decreased sensation isn't really a problem...I prefer lasting longer. I just hate putting the damn things on. The last thing I need, when the blood has left my brain and moved south, is a task that requires a degree of concentration and manual dexterity! |
