condoms

[Mustang Sally]

I'm curious about the real and actual use of condoms, for those who have sex outside a long-term monogamous relationship. We all know the right answer is "yes, I use a condom every time!" but do you really?

You're supposed to use condoms during oral sex, too, for both male and female recipients. How many actually do that?

Remember, it's an anonymous poll, so be honest, and please, discuss.

With the exception of the ex and my current Man now, I have always used condoms for both vaginal and anal sex. Sadly, I do admit I have rarely used condoms or a dental dam for oral sex, though, and I know it's wise for safer sex.

I never use a condom, masterbation just doesn't seem to call for it

 

[cymbidia]

almost never

i don't have any kinda sex with someone until after all the testing is done and there's a pretty good and deep basic trust that's been established. For the kinds of stuff i do with my intimate partners, there has to be a deep layer of trust before it goes anywhere. So i give it that time and learn a lot about them first.

i think it's harder for us who came of age in the free and easy days of sexual excess that existed before the current scary era with regard to STD's to use condoms every single time we should.

~sigh~ I taught sex ed to kids, too, for years, and constantly harped about the necessity for condoms every single time.

mine is a clear-cut case of "do as i say, not as i do" i guess.

I have never used a condom for oral sex. I just don't want a condom in my mouth - yuck! If I were to choose between never performing/receiving oral and doing it with a condom, I think I would never do it.

But I know I should.

You know, many, many years ago, long before I ever had sex, I masturbated using a condom to see if I could feel a difference. lol

I voted before I read your first post.

I'm married and monogomous so my vote was for never so if that scewws your poll, you can deduct my vote.

June has been a lucky month; I spend a lot of time on the beach and have met and banged 5 new young women this month.

Always use a rubber until I get to know a lady well--then we usually mutually agree not to. Hell of a lot better when riding bare back.

Therefore, my answer is usually, but not always--

Fuck--uh, wrong thread

*raises hand* i have never not once used a condom in my life.

also remember my experience is mental.

When I was sexually active, it was before the big scare and I never used them.

I have not had but one partner for twelve years..........so it hasn't been necessary, with the exception as a method of birth control which has never seemed to work on me anyways.

for casual sex, a condom is a must. you dont know the girl, they dont know you. better to take all precautions i say. but if its a steady relationship, or like everyone else has said, you have trust in your partner, then condoms arent really nessecary.

Yep, it sure is. But I use one now.

I really have to ask, what are the chances of getting HIV from going down on a woman?
Are there any real numbers? I know that I'd have to swallow a gallon of someone's saliva before I even had 1/1000 of a chance, even if I had a cut in my mouth, and sweat isn't even a question.

The chances of contracting HIV through cunnilingus are pretty low, but not inconsiderable. The benefit of barrier protection in oral sex isn't just in preventing HIV transmission, though. There are plenty of other STD's that can be transmitted by the oral-genital route. I've seen patients with oral gonorrhea and syphilitic chancres so it definitely can happen.

Personally, though, if I was concerned enough about contracting an STD from a partner via oral sex, I'd forego oral sex altogether before I'd use a "dental dam". Don't tell the public health authories I said this, but the idea of giving head through saran wrap seems a bit ludicrous to me. And could they come up with a less sexy name??

Anyway, oral gonorrhea and syphilis aren't exactly pleasant, but they're not AIDS either.

Now where's that penicillin mouthwash?

condom use

I use a condom for the first year in a relationship - then if it is a mutual descision I don't wear it!

 

[Cirrus]

I had oral gonorrhea several years ago. I got it from only the 2nd guy I was with. I thought I was protecting myself by having oral sex instead of intercourse. Guess I was wrong. I was young and stupid then, but I guess I really haven't changed much over the years, because I still don't use a condon for oral because I don't want to suck rubber either, although I choose my partners much more carefully these days.

Yes, babe...

Snooy is still in the law business. I think we should give him a call.
