Condoms are generally ruled as a necessary evil. While they protect us from the dangers of STIs and help with pregnancy prevention, they also mute a large part of the sensations that make intercourse so great. Hence, the age-old dilemma.
For many, sex with condoms has been accurately likened to showering with a raincoat on. Sure, sensations aren’t totally blocked, but they’re certainly reduced. As a result, many chose to forego preventative measures by foolishly opting to go in naked, and as most know, the risks include winding up with a “surprise” baby or an incurable disease. Although we can understand (we’ve all been there), the facts point to using protection as the best policy when sleeping around. (According to Planned Parenthood, condoms make sex 10,000 times HIV-safer than not using them.)
It’s also important to note that just because the person you’re seeing isn’t at risk of getting pregnant, for whatever reason, it doesn’t reduce the need for a condom. Prevention is a shared responsibility and should be treated as such. If you’re in a trusted or long-term couple, you'll want to work out a clear prevention strategy, but the basic rule is you should offer to pay for half (or at least contribute) to her method of choice – such as the pill. There’s always a chance that she’ll prefer to foot the whole bill or maybe you feel inclined to do so yourself, but either way, talking it over will eliminate misunderstandings or failed expectations. After all, sex and relationships are all about trust and communication.
This all said, condoms make up a huge industry and the options for getting your mojo on are better than ever, with companies continually working to come up with innovative ways to increase pleasure and minimize risk. Here, we’ve compiled what we think is important to consider when choosing a condom, and rounded up some of the best models out there. Enjoy!
