what kind of condom

[Amanda69]

I, (amanda) have a rather nasty Latex allergy so it is non-latex codoms all the way. They really only come in one size, one color and are quite expensive.

When I first started swinging 7 years ago the crowd I was introduced to were all doing bareback and many to this day still do.

The excuses I hear are that they "know" the crowd they swing with so feel safe. Problem is it just takes one to stray outside of the group and to bring an STD or HIV in, then it travels through the "safe" group.

I have also recently seen an article on teens and condoms. They were asking if they were using them. The response from many teens was since condoms come in so many colors, flavors etc...they are seeing them as "toys", and not a serious thing. Hence often not using them. Scary eh?!

Trojan Magnum XL is the only condom I've found that allows me to have a 50/50 chance of staying hard; the others seem like tournequits. I wish they were made thinner...

As far as not using them with other partners.... ...No kiss 'n' tell here.

When I first saw that I almost fell out of my chair. We are now up to 40% that go bareback.

I have to think it is because so many people on here are exploring the possibility of swinging, rather than atually full swapping.

We would LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to not use condums. They dry things out. They reduce sensation. They just suck. BUT, we feel we have to use them.

Beyond Seven is a brand that seems to work well for us.

I like em lubricated but don't put anything made out of latex anywhere near me if it has nonoxynol on it or no one will be touching me there for a while. Something about the combination of those two things, I seem to be allergic to.

Hey Julie,

Just a quick question. I have seen this now from a number of ladies and well I still don't know what nonoxynol is. I guess I will have to look at my condoms and make sure that they don't have them.

Sorry off track...my question was, do you bring your own and make sure that your playmate uses them or do you look at theirs before hand? I ask because again I currently have no idea what that is and well I would hate to accidentaly bring unwanted discomfort to a playmate of mine if she were like you and I didn't know about it.

Thanks,
-Eric

For meeting with a new couple, I'll use a magnum. I prefer to build trust and have very few partners to eventually allow me to go bare back.

Actually that number seems flawed to me because our experience is that much more than fifty percent of the people we have met prefer bareback. Of course this poll asks what condoms you use and I imagine a lot of people are like us, we use them when the other couple requests them. So, we voted with the style we use when requested rather than bareback.

When I do use them I prefer the Kimono ultra-thin XL, as someone else said it is the closest we have found to nothing at all. They are lightly lubricated but have no other additives.

I love to go down on a woman after she has cum but I hate the condom taste. So my favorite has been paradise ultra thin. They are thin which is always good & they have a lube with a light flavor that just eliminates the condom taste but doesn't overwhelm her taste. The new mint tingle is nice also but the flavor is stronger & they're not as thin.

I'm with the allergic to latex and nonoxynol-9 ladies. Hubby and I don't use them on our own(I have an IUD), but we use them with playpartners. We always bring our own and warn potential playmates ahead of time, so they don't try to slip the wrong stuff in

For us it's extra thin, ribbed, and he really likes the one that warm up after the friction starts up.

[cubnamy1995]

I have had a hard time finding a decent kind. For daily driving I use Trojan Magnum XLs, but I wanted to try some others. I ordered some beyond 7 from condomania. Way too tight. My dick falls asleep just like my feet do when I sit in a recliner. I also got some Crown skinless skins, because everyone I've talked to swears by them. Eh, not so much. They too seemed a little too tight.

I just bought some Lifestyles ultra sensitive, but have not yet road-tested them. I'm going up to play with my girl-toy on Monday, so I will make an evaluation after that.

Once we have both been fixed, there is a good chance we will be going bareback with select, close friends. But for now, we will suffer through.

[hannah_mark]

I chose ultra thin because we prefer those. We also like to use flavoured so that we can switch to oral after penetration if we want. Having said that, if we're not using flavoured it won't stop me from taking him back in my mouth.

We sometimes like to use black condoms. We think they add something extra and create a contrast between condom and, er, pussy.

[NandDinDayton]

Personally I like ribbed condoms turned inside out for my own pleasure......lol, j/k. We used sheepskin back in the day when wife could still get pregnant due to a N9 allergy. However when we go out an play we use either durex or trojans non N9. Just can't be too safe anymore. We do have hopes to someday find a couple where we need not use them but that will take a long time probably, everything will have to work out perfectly.

[Kiba_and_moogle]

Well Kiba and i stopped using condoms awhile a go but we do have some for our friendly encounters We use ultra thins if that is all we have, but most the time we use magnums, most normal condoms just hurt him too much.
