For years I truly hated the damn
things. They really were uncomfortable and an incredible turn-off.
They
were a necessary evil
Whoops! I'm not being very politically correct here, am I?
The official line is that they are wonderful in every way and anybody who has a
problem, is obviously some sort of wimp.
The biggest (and smallest)
problem is that one size does not fit all. So why on earth don't they make them
in all shapes and sizes? It was only after years of cursing Durex, that I
discovered that there were alternatives. So after trying a few, I discovered
the Joy of the
Trojan Ultra Thin
I think I am right in saying, that
to meet the British Standard, all UK condoms must be 52mm wide. Yes they do
stretch, but so do bras, so why don't they make them all in size 36B. That's
the average.
So all I had to do was import them from the States. And
there were all sorts of others to try. Some were good and others less so, but
it was fun and exciting to try. Yes! Suddenly condoms were fun and
sexy.
Currently there
is no reason for us to use condoms, but sometimes I see a new type and can't
resist seeing how it feels. Damn it! They get better all the time. And now
I've just noticed that one company has actually started making condoms in 55
sizes. And it's the same company were I discovered the huge range, several
years ago.
I wasn't going to put any commercial links on this site, but
here's a great Selection of Condoms at a bargain price
A few words of
advice:
Polyurethane Condoms : These are bigger than your
average latex model. This is because the forces required to stretch them are
enormous. If you are Mr. Average, then these condoms will probably suit you. If
you are thin, they will fall off. If you are thick, you'll never get one
on.
Natural Condoms : They're made from sheep innards. Which I
could come to terms with, if they didn't smell of roast lamb. Maybe they should
come with a mint sauce lubricant.
Plain Ended : Why don't they make more
like that? I think it looks good. On condoms, the dangley bit isn't very
esthetically pleasing, especially for oral sex. (The rubber at the tip is
loose, so there is room for the come.)
