Condom Advice

[FreshCarnations]

I'd appreciate hearing from women about preferred condoms, I'm down to my last few of the Durex Mutual Climax we have and my partner has voiced dissatisfaction along the lines of that she is missing out of some of the sensations when using a condom, my penis feels too smooth she said (yes, I know those condoms have a dotted texture, but there we go)

We had been using the pill previously before switching to condoms more recently.

I appreciate it goes without saying that there will be a difference when using a condom. From a woman's perspective if there are any which are less noticeable than others it would be nice if I could spend my money without going round the houses trying several different varieties. In the past I've found condoms like Durex Real Feel noticeably more satisfying from my perspective, but that was just from my side of things.

Thanks.

It’s nice to see a man raise a sensible issue on here, so welcome

I was on the pill from around 15 for about 8 years, much older now and to be honest l can’t remember the last time l had sex without a condom. That is not going to change any time soon. Apart from the obvious sexual health benefits (so important), it’s nice not to have the mess afterwards too.

Although l currently have some Real Feel in my bedside drawer and handbag (female friends seem to have from the latter more than me!), l’ve not taken a lot of notice of what brand lovers (l’m old school and use old school terminology) have used.

l can’t really say l have noticed a lot of difference over the years, they all feel smooth, but there again a man does not have significant bumps. Someone once used a non lubricated one with me and that felt awful.

l think your best bet would be to vary what you use and see what suits her best.

I don't like the scent or taste of latex so prefer polyurethane.

But they lack elasticity.

The flavoured ones taste worse!

Thank you for the welcoming reply and insight! Aside from the Real Feel, yes they basically all feel the same to me from my perspective as well.

Hi there, thanks for the reply. Any other benefits of the polyurethane from your perspective?

Personally, as a lady, I find Skins condoms easiest to get on with, but it may just have to be a case of try it and find out, more sex, what a shame 🤣

Thanks for the reply. When you say 'easiest to get on with', what does that mean for you? Thanks!

It may be a bit dull but I like durex extra safe. They don't come off and quite a few men say they last longer with them .

Nah, that's not dull, I get you. They used to be my go to, especially when I was single for casual encounters. Safe sex is good sex.

I bought the Durex Mutual Climax with my partner which have an anesthetic because I was struggling with premature ejaculation after a course of medication which affected my sensitivity. Have had mixed results with them helping.
