Female Condoms?

[sugar-cured]

I'd appreciate any info anyone may have on Female Condoms. Are they a drag to use? How do they feel? Hard to keep in? How does it feel to have sex with a woman wearing one? Etc.

Thanks.

Thanks for answering N8. I was afraid of that....I already resent the fact that I would even have to consider using a condom myself, but thanks to the lover who's now being forced to wear condoms with me, my/our usual great sex has gone MIA. He's pulling the usual shit; "it doesn't feel the same" or "I lose the hard on if I have to stop to put one on" etc.

I am not a happy camper....

best way always is not use condoms.
If you feel safe with your bf... skin to skin you never cant compare
Velvet to velvet, purple pleasure.

Feel free and ask for an actual AIDS test.
Keep in mind a test has done 2 months ago.

Condoms bore. No way. I for myselves - err my partners - use them only for anal screwing

But do safe sex. I beg you. Lots of my friends died on AIDS or 'r ill
I did a lot of fund raising

You all do know what a female condom is? Goes inside the girl, not over the penis? The first comment is an apt description.

 

[Mistress K]

The only kind of female condoms we have over here are called a Dental Dam.

It's a thin piece of latex that you spread over the clit, lips and opening for performing oral sex. As far as i'm aware they aren't for inserting but then again it's more than possible - the latex is rather large and stretches a fair bit.

Have never used one though so can't help you on feelings.

Hope this helps a bit

Not even worth the polyurethane they're made of. The first time I tried them, it got all pushed up inside me. The next time, I found myself having to "hold it" there.

There was no third time.

Read the instructions and see how wonderful this sounds ...

Im sure all females here on board do know.
The only reason for condoms is "safe sex"
always AIDS in mind.

take a look

see the Reality Condom at http://www.justrubbers.com/products/condom_brands/female_condom/female_condom.html?c=o

They are expensive and not as effective as the male condom.

Thanks for your input StevenWill....this whole issue has me so stressed out that I've pretty much decided that the onus is on him rather than me to find a solution. He'll either fix it or he won't and I'll just have to deal with either choice in a way that benefits me. I've decided I'm not interested in spending money on a ridiculous device that won't stay put and isn't even all that effective in preventing disease. All so that he can have better sex while I expend energy on a situation that has been brought about by the fact that he can't be trusted to keep his pants on.

Psychology I see.....are you any more grounded than the rest of us here?

sugar-cured if he can't be trusted to keep his pants on I think it's pretty simple...he wears a condom, regardless of how it affects him, or there's no sex. Try a thinner condom if he wants but he wears one. Some decisions are easier than others.

ARE YOU INSANE? What the hell kinsd of advice is this?

Feeling safe is not always about AIDS.

Did you know there is not test for warts? Or herpes? until it shows up?

COndoms are the ONLY way until you are in a commited relationship.

Hi, EE. If you want some fun reading, check out some of N8's other posts. I can't really decide if it's a girl or a guy posing as a girl. I also haven't figured out if it is serious or just playing.

OK, from this and your starting post its fairly obvious that you're pissed off that your sex life is screwed over because your guy can't keep it zipped up. I can understand your anger, but I'm also forced to wonder why you are keeping around a guy that obviously has so little concern for his health let alone yours?

You don't say what kind of relationship you have, but from your anger I'd say you thought it was a monogomous one.

Perhaps instead of worrying about how to improve the sex while you wait for medical tests or whatever, might it not be a bad idea to discuss where the relationship is going and why your boyfriend/whatever is fooling around on the side?

I would think this would be a glaring red flag that something is wrong and needs to be addressed.

Even if you have addressed these issues by the time you made your original post. People only learn from their mistakes by owning up to them and facing whatever punishment they've earned. In the case of infidelity, that means wearing a condom until the docs say he's clean. He may hate them (I know I do), he may complain they make him soft (they do the same for me also), but its his reward for straying. If he truly cares about you, he'll suck it up and go with the program, AND not put your life in any further risk.

Just my two cents for what its worth.

I have used female condoms in the past. They're really not that bad, and weren't hard to use at all. Though they make a strange crinkling sound that makes it seem as if you are using a crisp bag....

But, if your partner really is dead set against using condoms himself (and you don't feel that is grounds for chucking him) then try them.

 

[N8Dreams]

in summary female condoms bore

For my self I need the natural feeling. I can wait for the AIDS certificate

 

[cg_allstar]

^^^^^^^^
Dumb Ass.

How many porn stars get AIDS tested every month, yet catch it?
Not to mention all the other nasty little STI's and STD's. Anybody know the rate of Herpes is like 1 in 5 now?

I sincerely hope that no one is taking N8Dreams' nonsense advice or opinions seriously.

I agree with Emerald Eyed, N8Dreams seems to be quite clueless.
The male condom is pretty effective against AIDs, and may be the best all round protection against STDs.

//If you feel safe with your bf... //

This is particularly stupid, since feelings don't count, and are often reflective of lies.

Sugar cured: Do you really think that after seeing a prostitute or worse, having a one night stand, you're going to be told?

I would say, if your bf friend is settled and responsible with you and others, and things have been 'steady' for a long time, with monogamy on both sides, THEN consider dropping protection against STD's. It must be clear to you on good evidence that he niether lies nor screws around. And you cannot be absolutely sure.

Insisting on (male) condom use is the only reasonably sure method of preventing an STD, assuming you have the will to insist, as all high class prostitutes do, ones eager to stay healthy.
And they don't lose business, since careless guys like your bf are likely spreaders of disease, even if it's unintended.

I have merely 'seen' the female condom, but I don't doubt its effectiveness, used properly. It may be weird and 'artificial' and not 'purple to purple' but you'd be unlikely to get various STDs, if you could keep the damn thing positioned.

Here's the info from the manufacturers website, which I know is not the best source, but for now.

http://www.justrubbers.com/info/shape_female.html


The Female Condom





The November 1999 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine featured The Female Condom in a sidebar to an article about STDs entitled:
"How to Protect Your Sexual Health (Starting Tonight)."


Super Protection: The Female Condom


The condom for women, a lubricated polyurethane sheath with a ring on each end that is inserted into the vagina, offers extra STD protection and even some pleasure-boosting bonuses. Here's why:
- It's the only contraceptive that puts women in total control of STD protection (its failure rate is 5 percent, similar to the male condom). - Unlike the male condom, it can be inserted ahead of time.


- Because it covers the lips of the vagina, it may be the single best way to protect against herpes and all types of HPV. These viruses can be spread by contact with parts of the male genitalia that aren't totally covered by a male condom.


- The rim can touch and tickle the clitoris during sex.

www.cosmo.woman.com



The female condom is the only product controlled by women that helps to prevent STDs including HIV/AIDS and unintended pregnancy. The female condom is made of polyurethane, which is strong and unlikely to rip or tear during use or cause allergic reactions. It is manufactured in a state of the art facility in London, England.

In view of legal repercussions, I doubt the manufacturer is going to post gross lies on the 'net, though he may be putting the best face on things and ignoring the problems of getting to like using the damn thing.

Is there a such thing as an AIDS certificate? I have been tested a few times, once and then the 0ther 2 with pregnancies...I never got a certificate.

Her boyfriend fucks around, thats why she wants the female condom. If he argues wearing it with her, I am sure he argues it with other people

Well said Emerald_ eyed....

N8Dreams - yes condoms are a bore but I'd rather be alive and bored than diseased or dead...

Wicked Woman - Absolutely right no condom = no sex with me

Bobmi357 - So you noticed I'm feeling a little hostile huh?

The guy in question is a lover I keep around because the sex has been consistently amazing. We had unprotected sex for a couple of years during which time I came to understand his moral barometer. So after much testing, and his repeated refusals to be in a sexually monogamous relationship with me, it came down to (6 months ago) wear the condom or else no sex. It's been hit or miss ever since, sadly.

As for the relationship going anywhere....it isn't. I'm married (albeit of the "don't ask don't tell" variety) and he was just coming out of a ten year marriage when we met. So while I may have once believed there was a future, his perpetual disregard for my health/needs in relation to his own wants, has seriously eroded any possibility. My life is without a doubt more important than any place he could ever have in it.

So I keep him around while I continue to enjoy good sex (with a condom) when I want it. Until the day I meet a guy who isn't in the throes of a midlife crisis and fucking anything that moves (unprotected!) just so he can keep deluding himself that he isn't turning into some old fart. My position on condom use holds firm. There isn't anyone in this world worth dying for .... except my child.

Not to mention, who the hell wants to end up an eighty year old woman with genital herpes? No thanks.

I absolutely loved Female Condoms...when I could get them. They were not only a new toy to experiment with, but as a man, I didn't object at all because there wasn't the loss of sensation. They were a turn on.

However, except maybe in Canada, good luck finding them. If you do then enjoy using them!
