This thing about “to use or not to use condoms” is never going to go away. Clearly, a lot of people aren’t using condoms that’s why unwanted pregnancies are far from becoming a thing of the past (not to mention STIs). People have unprotected sex because it feels better. That is the only reason why. I don’t use condoms as often as I should, but at least I’m honest about it. I think it is better to educate than to condemn those who try, but don’t consistently practice safe sex. At least they’re trying.

To me, there seems to be a really simple solution here–just be monogamous. Then you can go on birth control, ditch the condoms, and not worry about STIs.

Hate on me all you want, I know you all will get SUPER ANGRY at the fact I have a different opinion but sorry for being American. Sure, condoms are good, and should be worn etc etc… BUT they are not as safe as you might think, numerous times have condoms broken when I have worn them. They can irritate the skin and it just sucks to wear them in general. How about instead of promoting using condoms so you can whore yourself around, we promote monogamous relationships with your SIGNIFICANT OTHER or abstinence. Whether you like it or not, sex is meant for one thing… Procreation. So basically I wouldn’t suggest having sex with anyone you wouldn’t possibly want to have a child with.

Don’t forget not using condoms brought every single one of you into this world, so you can type on your silly blogs and be boring pro whores? But if your gonna fuck someone you just met, or don’t plan on being with them strap it or smack it.

Sidenote: Why put it all on the guys? How about more women use birth control and use women condoms. It’s a two way street people.

I’m a girl and I prefer sex without a condom. No matter how many of you say that it’s just the same for us, trust me, it’s really not.

For some reason it doesn’t feel as full as it does without one, and I don’t feel as close to my partner. As far as the men feeling absolutely nothing without a condom, I believe it. Seeing the difference between sex with a condom and sex without a condom is easy when you’re looking at his face. It just looks plain boring and not at all pleasurable.

For me personally I’d much rather go without it. Mind you though, this is in a steady relationship and neither of us has any kind of STI. Plus I’m on the pill.

People, just make sure you’re all checked out and girls get on the pill, it won’t kill you.

Condoms are absolutely terrible for 99% of men. This is a shared thought amongst all of my male friends. I “Strap it up before I slap it up” if I have just met the girl or havent been seeing her for a while and know she’s clean + on the pill or whatever other contraception, but I agree with the other posters, I would rather wank off than having sex with a condom on, its terrible. No feeling what so ever, and then to boot the girl (in my experience) always seems to get stressed about not being able to make me come, then she feels insecure about not being able to please me.

Jessica you may come out with all these stats and brainwashed ideas that STD’s are caught like colds but at the end of a day you dont have a dick and never will (hopefully) do you think every guy is lying when they post here saying condoms suck ? Its the truth im sorry, condoms kill sex in more ways than one…But then again you have to be safe…So no-one can really ever win.

The Author is a woman.

Sex with condom is not sex. I prefer masturbating to porn with my hand touching the skin of my penis than pumping away inside a constricting dead latex chamber. Until you grow a dock and fuck like a man you wont understand that this “Man Made” solution to a biological problem isn’t really a good and elegant solution at all. It solves the problem by crippling the act.

I completely agree with Jessica. (accept i do want to say that any girl who is against abortion due to her faith should also be against sex before marriage. therefore that SHOULDN’T apply. you shouldn’t have one belief without all the others. however, sadly, in most cases it does)

And any guy is refuses to use a condom doesn’t deserve to have sex, and any woman who doesn’t make her guy use a condom or lets him convince her “it’ll be ok” is making a HUGE mistake.

One-night-stands and casual sex are the worst possible sexual situation that any man or woman could ever possibly get themselves into.

i’m not one to tell people what to do. it’s your life, live it how you wish. but it’s my personal belief that sex is for marriage, and is worth so much more if you can wait until you definitely find that special person. sex is not just for reproduction — not with humans. it’s also for pleasure (yes the Bible tells us this as well). but it’s for pleasure with your SPOUSE. someone you are completely committed to — no question about it. if you and your partner wait until marriage before having sex then it will be so much more binding and a lot more amazing and pleasurable. you probably don’t believe that but it’s SO true. and you’ve got the added bonus that if you both wait, you don’t have to worry about diseases, or having to use condoms for prevention of pregnancy. and if you’re not quite ready to have a child yet, then birth control is not proven to be hazardess to your health, they’re only theories. and there are other ways to prevent pregnancy, such as being smart and knowing when your cycle is and when you are most fertile. there are ways to find this out, as is there are ways to find out whether a certain birth control pill will effect you in anyway.

While of tth eadvise you give is useful and your concerns about STDs are correct not the following.

Do not get all high and mighty about how men MUST use condoms. That rude, incensetive and masogenistic. How would you like it if you were told you must take the pill.

Keep in mind, that bot everyones physiology reacts well to wrapping oneself in latex or rubber.

To all of those guys who complain about using a condom: What’s wrong with you?

Seriously, I have had protected and unprotected sex with my girlfriend, and a condom has never hindered our ability to enjoy ourselves. Is it as comfortable? No. But you can still have a lot of fun, and you can do it with a level of certainty and safety.

If you’ve never orgasmed with a condom on, you’re doing something wrong. If you can’t keep an erection with a condom on, I really, really feel sorry for you.

i am going to reiterate what others have said. condoms suck — even the ultra thin ones. that’s just some marketing ploy. you still can’t feel anything. sex is not sex with a condom — it’s just exercise. i would rather have no sex than have all my nerve endings numbed by a barrier.

maybe younger generations will be ok with it so long as they are scared enough to never know what condomless sex feels like.

or maybe the chinese-made liquid condom will offer a compromise between pleasure and safety.
