Condom Tips

Posted by HIM on Sunday October 4th, 2009


Condom use can greatly reduce your chances of contracting HIV and STIs.  Here are some basic tips for effective condom use to keep you happy, healthy and most of all to keep it feelin’ good!

- Check the expiry date.

- Use lots of condom-friendly lube, either water based or silicon, no Crisco!

- You may want to add a drop of lube to the inside for extra sensation.

- Bottom?  Consider taking the lead.

- Foreskin? Consider pulling it back.

- Group sex? Change your condom for each new guy.

- Occasionally check for breakage.

- Add romance (& spit) when needed.

If you're uncut, it's all about pulling it back before putting on the condom. Foreskin rules!!

That goes both ways. I had a boyfriend who wore 'fitted' condoms cuz he liked tight condoms, kind of like a cock-ring.

It's all about getting the right size. Magnums are the only way to go when you're packing 7+ (i'm talking real 7, not online inch).
