Now, I'm curious...

[cg_allstar]

Okay, so I was out doing some grocery shopping (yay, no more leftovers), and I noticed an atractive young lady standing in front of the condom rack apparently studying two different boxes in her hands. Here are a couple of questions that came to mind.

One, how many women buy the condoms in their relationships?

Two, and more interesting to me, what is the thought process they go through when deciding what brand, etc.?

 

[lilminx]

I buy condoms.

As for thought processes, I look for whether it has spermicide lubricant or regular lubricant (spermicide irritates me), thinness (believe it or not, it feels better for me too if the condom is thinner), brand and price.

The last time I bought condoms, I bought polyurethane ones because I think I have a slight allergy to latex. The only polyurethane ones wihtout spermicidal lubericant were the Durex Avanti, so it didn't take me very long to pick them out.

 

[cg_allstar]

Thank you for helping satisfy my curiosity, lilminx.

 

[superlittlegirl]

I buy condoms, too.

I also choose the non-spermicidally lubed ones. The nonoxynol-9 is reputed to be super ravaging on inner pussy surfaces.

I like Durex Extra Sensitive for use on toys.

For partner-sex, I choose InSpiral condoms. They were rated #1 by Men's Health magazine for enhancing pleasure for both partners. I like them because they are easy to get on, yet they don't slip off. Two very important factors, there. They replicate the feeling of sex with an uncut man (very desirable plus, there) and the partner feedback I have gotten about them says that they replicate the feeling of sex with an actual pussy (from inside the condom.)

Now I'm curiouser. How so?

I buy the condoms in my relationship. I prefer the thin ones with spermicide (they don't bother me, thank God!), but the only ones that are comfortable for him are Trojan Magnums, so it isn't a difficult choice!

 

[lilminx]

Whoa- SLG, those condoms are freaky looking. I might have to try them if it turns out that I don't havea latex sensitivity.

 

[superlittlegirl]

Now I'm curiouser. How so?

They have a weird nautilus shaped baggy top part that is supposed to react in a special springy way...

Basically, it slides back and forth as I move just as a foreskin would. It's more penetrative feeling, somehow.

You should. I think they are swell. They don't look so weird when they are actually on, either.

 

[cg_allstar]

I was just about to say the sexiest thing about superlittlegirl is her vocabulary for using the word nautilus. Then she used swell in the next post.

 

[superlittlegirl]

When I was about three years old, I overheard my dad telling someone that I had a very big vocabulary. I, being a very literal little girl, assumed that my vocabulary was somewhere near my liver, and watched my tummy for signs of swelling for a good while after that. I still think of my vocabulary as being some sort of internal organ, from time to time.

Awww. That's so cute.

LOL that is priceless!

Mr K and I take turns buying the condoms. I can't remember the name of the ones we usually get and as I can't be arsed to climb up the ladder into the loft to find out just now I can only say I think the brand name is Avanti, and the box is purplish silver.

 

[superlittlegirl]

I like buying condoms, because guys don't always do it right, if they do it at all.

I lost my virginity to a boy wearing a yellow condom. Like, who thought that playfully colored condoms would be a good idea? And don't let me see a glow-in-the-dark radiocative looking dick unless we're on an already joking around basis. Because you will get laughed at.

And I know the Magnum condoms are a good idea for some people, but guys who don't actually need them imperil their lovers with slippage risk.

Also, there's that condom freshness concern. I like to know the expiration date of the condoms I use. I don't want condoms that have been in the bottom of the dresser drawer for 7 years.

As with all things sexual, I advocate self-reliance. I will not suffer any regret about a condom choice if I come prepared with my preference in hand. I like eliminating as many risk factors as possible, and condom trust goes a long way to ensure that success.

 

[perks]

I buy them when I think I might need them.

Unfortunately I seem to have more opportunity than I am prepared for and end up losing out anyway.

Or I am prepared for nothing.

I'm sure I'll get it right one of these days.

Okay now I have this picture of slg grabbing the foil package out of the guy's hand, looking at it, and then smacking him upside the head.

I believe that's the second time this evening I've used upside the head.

 

[Dillinger]

My question is why you didn't ask her if she needed help trying them out?

Or - if you're not quite that forward a personality type - you could have stood next to her - picked up a box of those extra large condoms then casually asked her if she knew if any manufacturer might perhaps make an even larger brand.

 

[superlittlegirl]

Never has happened. Never had the chance. I wouldn't get violent, anyway.

Many guys, I think, like to wait to see if their partner has a condom. It is perhaps a subtle litmus test, like, did she plan on getting laid when she came out tonight?

So. I have rarely been presented with a condom before I had the chance to present one myself. I think a lot of men don't push the issue on the off chance that she won't offer. I don't give this misconception a chance to evolve. It's not something I ever have to ask for, because I make sure to be prepared. Few things suck more than wanting to fuck and not being able to because no one "remembered" to bring a condom. I prevent these sorts of tragedies from happening by being direct.

Guess I'm not that smooth there, Dill.

 

[intrigued]

Hey stranger...

The few times I bought condoms, it was because I was married then, and did all the shopping. The thought process was in determining which might allow me to feel the most, and not irritate me. I finally realized I was allergic to most.

However, limited you to the creation of only two children, and indeed, TBTG for that YES!!! YES!!! (makes the sign of the cross)

Okay... the curious side of me is now saying, "What the fuck?"

I need a more specific question...

"What the fuck " is not specific...

Induldge your curious side and ask a real question...
