 Does age have any bearing on condom use?
OK, we know the condom threads have been done to death but now being a year into our swinging career we seem to have found, contrary to what we have read in these threads, that the vast majority of couples we have had dealings with, whether we have played with or just discussed our rules with, do not use condoms regardless of what they may say in their profiles. None has every refused to wear them but they have always made it a point to let us know they would rather not.
If it were just one or two couples we met that didn't use them we could understand but we have been to clubs, house parties and conventions and without fail rarely has anyone ever broke out the condoms. Actually as we reflect deeper we should say, never has anyone broke out the condoms. When we discussed entering the lifestyle we just assumed that condom usage would be there norm but quickly found out different. There is no way that we are just by chance picking people that don't use them.
It got us thinking that maybe it is just couples in our age range, (upper 40's) that feel they aren't necessary. Maybe the older people get, the safer they feel. All the threads we have read here have shown the majority of people on this board use them but since we don't normally play with younger couples we thought we would create a poll to break it down by age groups. We really have no other answers for this anomaly.
We would like to hear other peoples thoughts or experiences on this issue
