Your favourite condom...

What is your favourite condom, healthwise and for DH responsiveness/sensitvity. The reason I ask is serious. I have just started taking the Yasmin pill and I am frightened by the anger, 'down' feeling and overall general moodiness I am experiencing. Crying all the time and hating my home to the point where I could take a hammer to every room.. This is not like me at all I know that for sure. This is my first time on the pill for over 10 years, please somone give me some hope for condom use. There must be some advances in science, we use the ordinary Durex but it's not much fun, hence reason for the pill!!

the mint flavoured ones the only ones I cannot bear...they make me sore...(TMI and dry - not a problem i usually have)
avanti ones not nice either.
I think condoms are fine!

Yes Giraffeski, say things like, isn't it funny the way that men who get their cocks pierced are the ones with not much downstairs and low intellect

Kelly1978 · 10/11/2006 17:25

I bought about 80 durex on ebay really cheaply

ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands · 10/11/2006 17:38

Don't the family planning clinics give them away free anymore? (We used to get a choice of Durex or Mates). Or is that just for low income scum like us?

Indith · 10/11/2006 18:31

I am so glad others have had problems with Durex falling apart inside! Have had that twice and the Bump oroves they are not always good! Still, the featherlite Durex are still the most comfy condom I've found.

Shinyhappy I got free ones at Boots after getting the MAP. The little goody bag seemed exciting the turned into a very funny night as I kept grabbing condoms from it and opening them to find they were chocolate flavoured, dwarf sized, giant sized....anything but bog standard Durex sized!

I'm still trying to puzzle out how flavoured ones are nicer to put on.

I don't use my mouth to do that.

Erm . . .

Nope. Pinched the tip between thumb and forefinger and rolled down a bit to make sure it was on the right way, then used my HAND to put it on.

Damn I hate condoms.

NomDePlume · 10/11/2006 22:19

expat, i bloody love you.

expatinscotland · 10/11/2006 22:25

NdP, I'm over here sipping my hot toddy, still trying to work out how the tongue gets involved in putting the damn thing on your long-term partner.

No.1: who wants to taste spermacide?

No. 2: you don't want to lick that shit off if you're using the condom as contraception.

Personally, I'd rather have the STD screening and just give a bj the old-fashioned way .

expatinscotland · 10/11/2006 22:26

Can't say that I've ever seen a real cock piercing in the flesh, either - no pun intended .

Nipple piercings, yes, a couple of fellas had one or both nipples pierced.

But not the cock.

Durex are a wonky fit for some blokes .

NomDePlume · 10/11/2006 22:35

expat's dh is hing like an 'upright hoover' apparently.

expatinscotland · 10/11/2006 22:37

And you'd never know it from looking at him . . .

He's all modest about it, too. Always wears a long top and baggy jeans.

expatinscotland · 10/11/2006 22:38

He just phoned me from the blokey pub round the corner where he arrived after his shift for a couple of pints w/his work colleagues.

I said, 'Would you ever have your willy pierced?'

He said, 'Would I fuck?! Imagine if it got infected and you had to see the doctor for pus-y willy?'

Eeeeeewwwwwww.

Perigrine · 10/11/2006 22:44

EPIS I am shocked!!!!

I thought you had seen everything

And - it's not pretty - flacid willy with an earring 0- not impressed

expatinscotland · 10/11/2006 22:46

Found out a friend of mine had a 'Prince Albert'.

But nah, I didn't want to see it.

My best friend shagged him. She said he was pretty well-endowed.

He was weird, though.

NomDePlume · 10/11/2006 22:57

I'd be weird shagging someone with a PA. I'd be frightened it'd get caught on something internally

NomDePlume · 10/11/2006 22:58

It'd be weird

expatinscotland · 10/11/2006 23:04

I was thinking along the same line, NdP.

Although, and this is one of the grossest sex stories I've come across: a pal of mine recently fooled around w/this former work colleauge of hers in the back of her car.

She told me he was circumsised.

I said, 'Oh, what a disappointment.'

She said, 'Aye, but he had to have it done as an adult.'

Well, he told her it had always been kind of tight. The foreskin, of course.

And whilst he was shagging this girl back when he was in his 20s, it f*cking ruptured!

Blood was everywhere and he had to go to A&E and told them, 'My cock's exploded! Help!'

Indith · 11/11/2006 10:14

Well Durham is an odd sort of place giraffeski!

Always have bags of condoms on the welfare rep door in college, always makes me laugh when tour groups stop right outside and all the little old ladies are trying to pretend they are not looking agast!

Expat I am very glad I've already finished my breakfast!
