Gary and I just got back from the local adult store and actually couldnt beleive how many different types of rubbers there are, tipped for his pleasure, her pleasure, ribbed, latex, rippled, etc, etc...
Does anyone actually use Condoms that arent 'regular' and if so, how did you decide what you wanted to try and ended up sticking with?
I really cant beleive there is that much call for rubbers that do more than just protect you from STDs and getting pregnant.

I can't imagine that it makes much of a difference given how thin they are.
I can honestly say this is one topic I can not give an opinion about! :fucked:
Is this akin to the question of how many variations of Cheerios can they come up with?!?
Well believe this or not but Tony and I do buy condoms all the time.
We just got some more the other day.
And for us its all about size. The size most guys buy just choke my cock to death.
It was hard to fine larger condoms for us big guys till up to a few years ago.
Thank God Trojan makes the magnum-XL's now!!
I have to inform you Gay etiquette regulations state you must attach video and/or photo links with such a post :bunnypancake:Quote:

we bought the LiveLarge tm MAGNUMS - "large size condoms" at WalMart where you'd think they'd stock these by the thousands... well, either we're the only well endowed men within a hundred mile radius of the store or... nobody here wears condoms
why you ask? because when we got the package home, I noticed a thick layer of dust on the top edge of the package!
even so - dust aside - the price can't be "beat" at $6 a dozen compared to the same product in other stores for $9-12 a dozen... you go WalMart!
no wonder so many teenage girls (at least one in alaska) are getting pregnant these days...
This thread is useless without pics ;)
We bought a bunch of those (though I don't remember if they were Trojan, I think maybe they were Durex) with the idea they'd be less visible on camera, and they were an absolute disaster. Our models hated them, said it was like wearing a sandwich bag. I guess they don't stretch much and they rip really easily.Quote:

The condoms now are so tight, id say 70% of the guys I've been with go soft by the time they roll that tight thing on.
And for guys who are huge and use magnums, theyre still too small.
You know we tried all kinds of condoms and eventually gave up with trying to find ones that fitted me well enough, now we just use regular lifestyles Xl which, as it happens, are what one of the local bars put out for free every night, they still a little tight, but they are better than the trojan magnums for sure in that they go all the way down my shaft and we dont have to worry about them slipping off.Quote:

funny how the barebackMasters actually go through so many boxes of condoms isn't it.. ? makes one wonder...
personally, I prefer wearing my custom made wet suit with extra special cod piece pouch - fits like a glove
i've seen posters on those amateur sites
where women mention they love the ribbed rubbers
or guys saying their wives like it
some even going as far as saying they dislike regular ones:juggle:
As with gum, we all like chewing on different shapes, sizes and, of course, flavours :shitpoke:Quote:
Why Are There So Many Different Types Of Condoms?
i keep the cheapos for boys who want condoms on sex toys, which is a waste of condom as most STI's can't live in the light or at room temp or exposed to the air on a toy (which I always wash with a little bleach anyway), especially the fragile HIV virus.
I use American made only condoms for sex for protection from STIs. Lifestyles or Trojan. American's are the only ones with strict testing for breakage and leakage and have the best quality control.
Watch brands that are "distributed" by a company in the US and probably don't say where they were manufactured. Like Durex, which are made in Korea I think.
Your health and peace of mind is worth the extra bucks.
Peace
Well, I um... don't use condoms, or I prefer not to anyways. I am "safe" about who I get groovy with and who gets groovy with me. I don't just bareback with anyone.Quote:

Then, really I don't think the condom matters to the guy or at least not to me. I like something that's not tight. I tend to use Trojan Magnum's because they fit better. LOL. My face is turning beat red. But, yea. As long as it fits, I'm good.
With the novelty condoms I really do think it is a case of 'how many kinds of Cheerios can we come up with?'
I doubt there is any real qualitative difference with most of them, though a glow in the dark rubber can be fun. Only problem is I've found novelty condoms to be of inferior quality, which defeats the purpose in most cases.
Too tight rubbers = bad, but I feel weird buying Magnums (like the old lady behind the counter starts undressing me with her eyes!), so I just bum them off my roommate or pull the 'oh, crap, I forgot party favors! Could you be a dear and grab some on your way over?' :ninja:
