What type of condom do you prefer?

Asked by Facade (22937points) October 17th, 2009

A while back, my man and I decided to try out some ribbed condoms. Talk about painful (in a bad way)! Maybe I’m just very used to skin to skin contact but why would anyone like that?! lol

Do you like them?
If not, what kind of condoms do you use/like (if any)?

Condoms are the antichrist.

The “kiss of mint” ones are the worst thing ever. Lets just say we we tried it, it wasn’t lubricated on the inside… he wasn’t happy. although I thought it was kinda funny

Allie's avatar

The ribbed ones do kind of hurt. I know what you mean, @Facade.

When covered in barbecue sauce, yes.

Yea, yea laugh it up :P

Thankfully, I don’t have to worry about that.

But, rubber (dental) dams don’t taste all that great either.

CMaz's avatar

I don’t/rarely use them. They hinder sensation.

I turn them inside out

Facade's avatar

@jmah I’ve never experienced those…sounds icky :P

When my partner and I used to use them we preferred the lambskin ones as the closest to wearing nothing. Ribbed eh…not so much.

I have never used one – never will.

@Facade- No fair. You edited the wording of your question. Now my incredibly witty response doesn’t work so well. You’re killing me here!

Facade's avatar

@AstroChuck I was instructed to re-word it. Sorry, little boy :P

Grumble grumble.

Hands down, best ever-Trojan Ecstasy. They are new (you have probably seen the commercial) and come in a yellow box. They are ribbed, but don’t judge until you try it! They are looser or fit some different way, so it really is like nothing is there.

I hope this is the one response that answers your question.

Facade's avatar

Actually, I think that’s the one we bought and used. No gracias. Those ribs were big as hell lol. I hated it.

I’m glad you like em though :)

On the subject of condoms, I have over 200 used-unused condoms. Only 50 cents each. Anyone want to buy?

buster's avatar

Free ones from the health department. Condoms are expensive. They keep them looked up in grocery stores in the hood because all the hoes steal them.

XOIIO's avatar

Yeah, but they sell unused condoms. I have used-unused condoms!

@Facade – What is your answer to your question?

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

Condoms suck. I only used them once, and that was because the clinic misdiagnosed my wife with an STD. We had to use them for a month until they got it straightened out. You see, they didn’t realize they confused the samples.

They make better balloons than birth control devices.

Facade's avatar

@ChazMaz I prefer no condom at all.

condoms are only studied to REDUCE risk of HIV.

condoms are ineffective against DOZENS of STDs.

condoms are too porous to stop HPV

condoms have an FDA documented ~%14 failure rate

—-

female birth control, whether chemical or mechanical, is ABORTIFACIENT not contraceptive

laureth's avatar

Porous? I don’t think so. It’s because you can still have contact where the condom doesn’t cover, which is why there’s still the danger of STDs with condoms. I’d like to see your reference for the FDA study of condoms, as I was unaware that the Food and Drug agency studied them much; although the CDC says Laboratory studies have demonstrated that latex condoms provide an essentially impermeable barrier to particles the size of STD pathogens..

For female birth control, I fail to see how methods that prevent sperm and egg from joining (such as spermicides and diaphragm) or methods that prevent a woman from ovulating (such as the Nuva ring) can be abortifacient, since there is no embryo to abort.

One thing is for sure: almost any method of birth control is more effective than Virginity Pledges. Those seem to have about a 75% failure rate.

Call me stupid- I’m not ready for a child now but I’m not ready to start hating sex either…no condoms for me. Ouchy.

There are other options between daycare and a rubber.

Durex Fetherlite Lubricated Condoms.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

Gadzooks! The best condom is that left in the box unless filled with water and use as a frat house prank.

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

@Hypocrisy_Central I take it you don’t like condoms?

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

@MRSHINYSHOES Was it that easy to tell” I have not met one that did not choke the hell of out my Robert Earl and took away from the exerience big time. Yeah…..I tried to the so-called extra large too. If I want to fill like I got whacked in the dumbstick by a piece of whale bone I would rather it actually be whale bone and not some Latex woody killer…..

MRSHINYSHOES's avatar

@Hypocrisy_Central So I take it the answer is “no”? Lol.

Durex Sensi-Thin Lubricated Condoms are not that bad. The lubricated ones by Trojan, called “Twisted Pleasure”, are not bad either.

My only complaint regarding their use is the smell and oiliness. Hard to describe the smell——sort of rancid. I found this rather shocking clip on Youtube, but what he says about their smell is, well, pretty accurate——lol——sigh—-
