I do not have sex with ladyboys.

― Kenan (kenan), Friday, 5 November 2004 15:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Condoms suck, but it would suck even more if they didn't exist.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 5 November 2004 15:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry got to be careful about that whole projecting myself onto others thing.

― Steve.n. (sjkirk), Friday, 5 November 2004 15:44 (twenty-one years ago)

condoms are handy for posh wanks.

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 5 November 2004 15:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Steve, man, really, I'm worried about you. We have to find you a girlfriend (or a ladyboyfriend, if you'd prefer).

In answer to the question - DON'T GIVE ME NO BABIES YOU EVIL MENG, OK?

― emil.y (emil.y), Friday, 5 November 2004 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

They're so tight that they kill my bone usually.

total dud, but there's no other alternative, really.

worst brag/excuse ever...

I use Magnums, myself.

― Super, Friday, 5 November 2004 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I tried those 'Avanti' non-latex ultra-thin things and they were rubbish. Hard to get on when you, um, get a hard on... *cough* and they were damn expensive. Dud.

I don't mind the other 'thin' ones though - they roll on easy and I don't have any major complaints, so I won't say dud, but I do prefer no-condom sex when it is possible...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Friday, 5 November 2004 17:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a hard time staying as stiff as I would like with the things sometimes. The worst is when you start to go mushy while you're trying to get the thing on. Grrrr. The occasional lack of understanding from some girls when it comes to such difficulties pisses me off too.

It seems the more expensive they are (the thin ones) the less problems I have with them.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 5 November 2004 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

choady isn't a brag!

― trigonalmayhem (trigonalmayhem), Friday, 5 November 2004 18:51 (twenty-one years ago)

this is like saying "Sex: classic or dud?"

I don't even know where to begin. Condoms are lame, but so so so much better than babies and diseases that it's kind of a moot point.

Sex sucks though.

― Ian John50n (orion), Friday, 5 November 2004 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Am I the only person who thinks they're pretty OK? Gold Circle Coins, esp. Of course, I used condoms EVERY time I had sex for many years, so got used to 'em.

― Douglas (Douglas), Friday, 5 November 2004 19:26 (twenty-one years ago)

am I the only one who found it funny that steve mentioned something about 'projecting himself' upthread?

― still bevens (bscrubbins), Friday, 5 November 2004 19:30 (twenty-one years ago)

The worst is when you start to go mushy while you're trying to get the thing on. Grrrr.

Quite OTM, sadly.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 5 November 2004 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

TOO MUCH INFORMATION DUDES.
SERIOUSLY.

― Ian John50n (orion), Friday, 5 November 2004 19:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Ian, I love you, but I'm sorta surprised it's you saying this is TMI.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 5 November 2004 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

...OR NOT ENOUGH?

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 5 November 2004 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

This has just kind of turned into the "dudes talking about not keeping it up" and that's WEIRD. YOU ARE NOT BOB DOLE.

― Ian John50n (orion), Friday, 5 November 2004 19:38 (twenty-one years ago)

i totally enjoy them. last longer. with good ones (like Kimono) you can barely tell it's on.

― JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 5 November 2004 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

"Kimono"! Does it come with a little cock obi?

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 5 November 2004 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Your search - cock obi - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:
- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Try different keywords.
- Try more general keywords.
- Try fewer keywords.

TMI WARNING

The thing that mostly makes them dud for me is that without them I usually stay hard after coming, and with them I don't.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 5 November 2004 20:09 (twenty-one years ago)

NEEDED LARGER TMI WARNING

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 5 November 2004 20:11 (twenty-one years ago)

You're just lucky I didn't submit photographic evidence with that post.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 5 November 2004 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

They smell like the bag I used to carry my papers around for devivery in = UNSEXY.

― Steve.n. (sjkirk), Friday, 5 November 2004 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm afraid I'm too amused by this thread.

― Je4nne ƒury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 5 November 2004 20:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Why did femidoms never catch on?

― Steve.n. (sjkirk), Friday, 5 November 2004 20:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Because the world hates its women.

― Kenan (kenan), Friday, 5 November 2004 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Possibly because guys are more willing to wear something uncomfortable in order to get layed.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:03 (twenty-one years ago)

women wear high heels to look sexy all the time. corsets also. etc. etc.

― Ian John50n (orion), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:05 (twenty-one years ago)

I have never seen a woman in a corset outside of a Jane Austen movie.

― Kenan (kenan), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:07 (twenty-one years ago)

underwire bras, then. or tight skirts.

― Ian John50n (orion), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:10 (twenty-one years ago)

b00bs

― Steve.n. (sjkirk), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:13 (twenty-one years ago)

what about them?

― Kenan (kenan), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:19 (twenty-one years ago)

c.f. corsets, underwire bras and short skirts.

― Steve.n. (sjkirk), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:22 (twenty-one years ago)

women wear uncomfortable things to make themselves attractive all the time (and have, historically.) I think steve was implying that this could extend to breast implants. complaining about condoms, to me, is kind of like complaining about penicillin.

― Ian John50n (orion), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:23 (twenty-one years ago)

It's more like cough medicine, but Ian pretty much OTM.

― Steve.n. (sjkirk), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're after sex.

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:24 (twenty-one years ago)

The worst is when you start to go mushy while you're trying to get the thing on. Grrrr.

We need Momus here to tell us about his plastercasting experience.

Classic if George Bush's dad had used one.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't think anyone suggested that thermo

― Steve.n. (sjkirk), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I never thought the burning question "How is a bra like a condom?" would ever get answered.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Well yes, because I brought up the issue of the uncomfortableness of condoms then Ian mentioned heels etc.

"I hate dressing up for formal events because the condoms are just so uncomfortable."

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't believe you're suggesting the only reason men wear condoms is to get laid.

I didn't say that either! Are you doing this to piss me off?

Sorry thermo, didn't mean to piss you off!

― Steve.n. (sjkirk), Friday, 5 November 2004 21:41 (twenty-one years ago)

More (hetero) women need to weigh in on this thread.

had you been wearing a condom, no pissing would have occured

I see it all the time, in my apartment.

― trigonalmayhem (trigonalmayhem), Saturday, 6 November 2004 04:10 (twenty-one years ago)

i've never had sex without one, so i may be looking at this the wrong way, but:

how can something that helps you get laid ever, EVER be a bad thing?

are there women out there that don't insist on them when with casual partners?? if such a being exists, i don't think i'd have sex with her, to be honest.

― d.arraghmac, Saturday, 6 November 2004 05:18 (twenty-one years ago)

The worst is when you start to go mushy while you're trying to get the thing on. Grrrr.
Solution: get the girl to help you put it on.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 6 November 2004 05:49 (twenty-one years ago)

i've never had sex without one, so i may be looking at this the wrong way

I'm not trying to encourage the spread of disease or unwanted pregnancy, understand. But sex without a condom is a whole different ballgame.

― Kenan (kenan), Saturday, 6 November 2004 07:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Classic. Obviously in monogamous relationships there are better methods, but condoms are still extremely important. In other situations, unless you have discussed the method of birth control, I think condoms should be assumed. Having to say, "Well, um, don't we need to... get something?" in the heat of the moment = TOTAL DUD

― Laura E (laurae55), Saturday, 6 November 2004 21:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Solution: get the girl to help you put it on.
I tried this but they aren't usually good at it for some reason.
Another thing that would help is if while you're fishing around your drawer or whatever for the condom and taking out of the packaging etc (enough time to begin wilting) your partner would make some sort of effort to keep you aroused. I don't understand why so many of the girls I've been with seem to think that they should sit back and stare off into space while I'm doing all this!

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 6 November 2004 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

This is exactly why it's good to get them involved with putting on the condom. True, they're usually not good at it (hey, practice makes perfect!), but at least you're touching each other and interacting, rather than the guy fumbling around while the girl lies around and waits. At the very least, you can both have a good laugh about the whole thing, which decreases the stress and anxiety that either person may be feeling.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 6 November 2004 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

okay, another question:

exactly how long does it take you guys to roll a rubber tube down your penii (penium, penises??)

― d.arraghmac, Saturday, 6 November 2004 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not sure. It's harder to do with a stopwatch in one hand.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 6 November 2004 23:41 (twenty-one years ago)

well, try one-mississippi, two-mississippi then

― d.arraghmac, Saturday, 6 November 2004 23:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Aw hell, I can't say those big words when I'm concentrating on my cock.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 6 November 2004 23:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Besides, if you say mississippi a few times by the time you get the condom on you have to pee.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 6 November 2004 23:44 (twenty-one years ago)

this topic has been hijacked somewhat.

besides, if you need to urinate slightly your orgasm is much more intense.

― d.arraghmac, Saturday, 6 November 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

We need to do a series of tests of that hypothesis involving mothers walking into their adolescent sons' bedrooms right at the Crucial Moment.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 6 November 2004 23:57 (twenty-one years ago)

how about walking into the kitchen?

― d.arraghmac, Sunday, 7 November 2004 00:04 (twenty-one years ago)

That can be the control group.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Sunday, 7 November 2004 00:20 (twenty-one years ago)

no, the control group would have to be the aunts that changed your bedsheets while staying over once...

Two probs with male pill:
- no way to prove guy has taken it (and he's not the one at risk of the bubbeh, so you know...)
- scientists claim they wont release one til they can get past all the supposedly nasty side effects like loss of libido, weight probs and etc. HELLO WE ALREADY PUT UP WITH THIS WITH THE FEMALE PILL.

Sorry, slight bugbear of mine.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 8 November 2004 03:15 (twenty-one years ago)

The loss of libido problem strikes me as a bigger problem with the male pill than with the female pill, mainly there are ways to get around loss of physical arousal with females if they're mentally interested, whereas it's a little more difficult to do that with a dude. No amount of lube gonna help if it's just not gettin' up.

Not to agree either way with the second statement, I've never had a problem with libido loss through female pills. The one girl I knew who bitched about this a lot, it was not a mental arousal issue, it was a physical wetness issue.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Monday, 8 November 2004 03:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe they should sell it with viagra, sort of like how RU486 is two steps, male pills are two steps. This obviously means about 4 people in the world will use it regularly.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Monday, 8 November 2004 03:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Pardon the TMI but anyway:

More than once I'm tempted to get a vasectomy simply because the likelihood of me not having kids is growing. Unfortunately, some data indicates that going that route increases the risk of prostate cancer -- and as I've said a few times my family clearly has that as a specific genetic risk (my grandfather died of it, my uncle nearly so, my dad was detected early last year), so I'm not anxious to increase it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 November 2004 04:07 (twenty-one years ago)

You're assuming loss of libido in males is always a bad thing - not sure it would be to be honest.

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 8 November 2004 11:56 (twenty-one years ago)

no way to prove guy has taken it (and he's not the one at risk of the bubbeh, so you know...)

are the ways to prove that girls have taken it? (the dudes don't have to carry the bubbeh but it doesn't mean he's not "at risk" of it!)

haha for mark a loss of libido will just bring it back to slightly above average.

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 8 November 2004 12:08 (twenty-one years ago)

eight months pass...

We were discussing this last night with friends, and we agreed that the worst thing about condoms, besides the lessened sensation, is that with them sex often becomes performance-oriented... You can't have longer pauses and cuddling and stuff in between, because you can't let the little man to go limp. Or at least you'll have to have several condoms lying around, which often isn't the case. But obviously in many cases they're still the only reasonable option, so you'll just have to accept them as the necessary evil.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 10 July 2005 19:17 (twenty years ago)

Oh no god, please help me...

Vietnam police seize more than 320,000 used condoms

...The condoms were reportedly washed, reshaped with wooden dildos and then repackaged before being resold...
