Condoms?

---

Ok.. I should probably start off by saying this isn't going to influence my decision to wear a condom one way or another.. Condoms are a necessity for soo many reasons.However, I have to ask (guys particularly) Do you feel sex is better without a condom?This is just an interesting/random thought for me being a virgin >.On one hand I can see how it would reduce sensativity .. on the other hand with modern technology that could also be a null point.While I'm thinking about it.. how safe do you think the condoms they give away at school would be? I'm going to college and they give out free condoms on campus.. While I have no immediate plans and I'm not the kind of person to "experiment" if something should go down would it be better to wait and drive to the local wal mart or w/e and pick some up? or would the kind they give away be suffiencent?

Sex is better without a condom if:1. you are in a committed relationship and don't have to be concerned with the transmission of STI's and2. are using some other effective means of birth control and you are prepared to raise a child if the bc failed or3. you are trying to conceive.Otherwise you're giving up a lot for momentary pleasure. Always wear a condom to protect YOU. I'm not, however, advocating promiscuous behavior. Sex goes best with a loving, caring relationship. If you just want to get off, use your hand.I'm sure the free condoms that are handed out will do the job they are intended for: to reduce STI's and pregnancy. Notice that I said reduce, not eliminate. The only way to eliminate is to keep your pants zipped. If there is some type of condom that you prefer for whatever reason, you'd probably do best to visit the pharmacy yourself.

My boyfriend has told me before that he feels a difference. I believe he would say "yes" to your question, but you know it's no excuse not to use one. :smile:

The Planned Parenthood I go to and my college's health clinic both give away Lifestyles condoms. My boyfriend and I agree they are pretty good and durable. We've never had one tear before. So, I think your school would give out good condoms also. I mean, I don't think they want all their students to have kids. :scream_cat:

Do you feel sex is better without a condom? Definitely

Guys I said it once I'll say it again. I am going to use a condom regardless of what I see posted. This is really something that is really more of a "hmm I wonder" question then seekign advice.I actually agree 100% about being in a real relationship. There are many people with little to no morals or standards.. I personally think my morals/standards are my redeming quality >.< because of them I haven't done anything I regret. (like gotten STI)kinda sad what people are willing to do in a relationship these days... even if its only temporary.People have one night stands and are left in empty beds symbolic of empty hearts.

In my opinion, it feels A LOT better without a condom. Even some of the newest condoms are hard to come close to the bare sensation of it.

here is my question for all of you.... did anyone ever wonder what it might feel like for a girl. with or without.... and when did sex become all about guys... sorry but ya know we have to want it before you can... mhm.... whats some of the girls opinions with the "with or without" concept?

I only feel a very small difference. If I was blind, I could never tell if he wore one or not. But that's just me, don't know about other women.

with me, i can tell.... no doubt... he doesnt "slip in" as easily as he does with a condom, but the sex is alot more enjoyable without a condom... anybody else?

I believe the emotional connection you have with your lover makes sex a million times better than something as trivial as not using a condom for a better feel.

trust me, after my pregnancy scare and all... we dont even think about sex without a condom anymore.... well for now... and to your second comment, thats what i meant. i actually was telling my fiance last night about how when he wears a condom, i feel disconected from us when we have sex, to me when there isnt one involved its like we become one person (as cheesy as it may sound) and that whole complete feeling is not as strong with one on. but either way, were making love

My wife does not like the feel of condoms.

and what about you? are you the same way?

Definitely without... Unfortunately, we've gone back to using condoms after not using them for many many years. Wife went off birth control so until we figure out what we want to do, it's condoms.

I feel the same as Virtual_Star. I can't really tell the differance unless he is rubbing my kitty with his penis......which feels amazing without a condom. The emotional connection definatly makes sex better.

Is an IUD an option for your situation?According to the girl I've been having sex with now, she says there is a huge difference between having a condom and no condom. We both love the bare sensation.

There is a huge difference between condom and no condom. With no condom you are exposed to every STI that your partner had been exposed to from every partner before you.An IUD, or any other birth control method other can condoms, protects only against pregnancy, but gives you absolutely no protection against STI's.Unless you're in a guaranteed monogamous relationship with guaranteed STI-free partner, you're foolish to not wear a condom.

Since I wasn't born with a vagina... No I can't say I ever wondered. thats (in my opinion) about the same as wondering as a man whats it like to orgasm as a woman. Or vice versa.

Also since its usually the guys bragging about how they talked HER into unprotected sex since they are the ones that say it feels better. I really can't say I ever questioned the girl's side of it just thought she was retarded for not making him wear a condom.

What do you consider to be a "guarantee" in a relationship?
