1. Buying condoms is never shameful. But it can be embarassing, which is why i set up http://www.condomshop.com.au

2. Not means of protection will guarantee 100% success rate, but i agree with the statement and condoms do minimize greatly the risk.

3. Everyone engaging in sex especially casual sex should carry their own supply of condoms.

4. Condoms DO desensitise. But….. in resent years many new condoms have been developed to reduce this. Ultra thin condoms with special lubricants make having sex with condoms much more enjoyable. At the ned of the day would you rather more feel and an STI or slightly (very slighty) less feel and a full bill of health?

5. Using a condom shouldn’t hurt. If it does your doing something wrong so read the instructions. A water based lube should always be used with a condom. Some people may have allergys to latex and should avoid latex condoms. There are a few non-latex condoms available on the market and many people believe that these condoms feel much better during sex.

6. I’m not sure about this statement. Is hormone exchange healthy??? Would you get this through kissing anyway?

7. Most married couple tend not to use condoms. Once you have been with a partner for a long time and are aware of there sexual past and have probably even had STI tests, the use of a condom seems to be pointless. But continued use of condoms will prevent diseases which can be domant or commonly occur for what seems like not apparent reason (cold sores) and also unwanted pregnancy. If you do decide to stop using condoms i would recommend a STI test first.

8. There are many sizes of condoms available ranging from 49mm to 69mm in width and in all kinds of shapes. There is a condom for everyone.

9. It should never be awkward to tell your partner about a condom. I also agree strongly that getting your partner to put the condom on can add to your sexual excitement.

10. YES WAY! As long as youu make sure that the lubricants, gels, creams, etc are condom safe. This should be stated on the packaging. The use of lubricant can increase your sensitivity during sex and you will probably even forget that you are wearing one. With so many different types of lube available from flavoured to warming you will no doubt have fun discovering your favourite.

11. There are no holes in condoms, if there were what would be the point of them??? All condoms have to go through various tests. Condoms are safe.

12. Having to stop to put on a condom may seem to interrept your love making, but if its something that you always do you can make sure you add to to your foreplay steps. It may seem to ruin those special moments but at least they help you to stop ruin your life!

Living with STD, but not lonely–http://www.pozgroup.com

I also want to point out that what I posted is my observation, my conclusions and the expression of my opinion. It is not fact. Though I do believe everything I said is based of fact and is true beyond refute.

Geniusisbeauty, if you are not afraid of a dissenting point of view and will post it in your blog you most certainly deserve my respect. Thank you for the honor being posted here.

Let’s face the truth here. Even women don’t like condoms because using condoms takes away from the sexual experience. (not being a woman I still don’t understand how it affects women physically with the exception that they don’t experience the feeling of receiving the release of semen but that I am told is not what they are talking about) People who live a “clean” lifestyle and are comfortable that the partners they chose to be with also live a clean lifestyle are not willing to sacrifice the full sensation of their sexual experience and as of today I still haven’t seen the evidence of why they should for the satisfaction and peace of mind it would give to those who clearly do not live a rational lifestyle or partner and advocate for those who do not. Instead the proof I have seen since Aids was discovered in 1981 only further solidifies the reason why rational people should reaming of high standard at all other sacrifice. I mean why should I be receptive of someone or and idea that causes me to sacrifice something I do not want to sacrifice, (like the complete sexual experience) when with self discipline the only thing I have to sacrifice is my desire to be with one person whom I can easily replace with another?

I am not completely lost on the appreciation for the use of condoms. But there are two larger myths about condoms that is not mention in this article. One is the myths about condoms are a myth. The diminished experience in sex is not a myth. There is simply no way to add a physical element between you and your partner, no matter how “thin”, that does diminish the experience as it clearly eliminates an element of contact.

The unrealistic paranoia of contracting a disease when one lives and disciplines themselves in a healthy lifestyle, and makes rational choices to socialize with people who do the same gives credence to the other myth. The myth that we are all equally at risk. Regardless of how unpopular it is to say it, I’m simply not going to propagate [to foster growing knowledge of, familiarity with, or acceptance of (as an idea or belief)] the idea a rational thinking person living a reasonably high standard of clean behavior in their life and remains disciplined to draw a line between themselves and people who do not. Is at the same risk as people using drugs (addict or recreational), homosexuals, and people who don’t otherwise separate themselves from people who live at those risk.
