Major dilemma here! Allergic reactions!
 

My current partner has a fundamental problem...she's alergic to Latex. Kinda puts a damper on the "festivities". I can only go so far with hands and mouth. Any hints and tips?

Get her on birth control of some sort?

Not gonna try it. My friend just left for Iraq. His wife was on BC pills and patch. They now have a 3 month old child.

Simple solution: Just pull out.
Why bother with uncomfortable condoms when you can be justified for hitting her in the face with your man juice?
For your info, there are alternative condoms not made of latex. Lamb skin condoms for example. I would think they're quite abit more expensive though. But, where is your priorities? Good sex or bad but cheap sex? Latex sucks and it smells bad. Remember that

Get polyurethane condoms.

Any more questions?

You can do lots of things. Spermicide, diphragm, birth control (pill, patch, shot). Check out the non-latex condoms. Try different combinations. Get her in to the doctor anyways. You guys really should do some reseach. With all the options out there, you're sure to find something.

Check out planned parenthood...

DO NOT USE THE PULL OUT METHOD!! it doesn't work (there's sperm in precum). Go to the doctor, or, if you can't, find a planned parenthood center. The various pills, patches and shots work very very well. However, they don't stop the spread of std's. I don't know what to say about your friend's wife. She couldn't have been using both the patch and the pill at the same time. Anyways, your best bet is not to ask a bunch of people on a chat board. You should go find a qualified sexual health professional.

Same problem here.
We use Durex Avanti (Non-latex condoms), and there are other brands too.
Says it all - and they are actually thinner and stronger than latex condoms

another vote for polyurethane....I have a latex allergy and they were a godsend I use the ones Trojan makes (Supra), they fit better, they conform to the natrual penis shape better and they transmit body heat fantastically!!!!

oh the things you learn on the TFP I had no idea that the alternatives to latex could actually be better. are they as effective? more effective? anyone know?

i wanted to start using poly, but my girlfriend pulled up an article that says they're slightly less effective. while i'm positive that this is the reason we don't use poly, i can't link you to the article and i think it was pretty dated anyway (1997?) so i would recommend some supplemental research (for you and, come to think of it, me too) if you want to move beyond the realm of tongue and hands but not quite into the realm of baby.

I've read some of the studies most of the problems were due to breakage/slipping.....I've been using them exclusivley for a year and NEVER had one break or slip

My girl and I use Durex Avanti (polyurethane). They transfer heat very well and I've never had one break yet. Highly recommended.
