According to Avert.org, condoms are the only form of protection that can help stop the transmission of sexually transmitted infections such as HIV, while also preventing pregnancy. As long as you're using it correctly, you can have safe and fun sex while using condoms.
Have Fun Using Condoms
Now, when you browse through the aisle of a superstore where all the condoms are displayed, you might have a difficult time deciding which box to take. The good news is that you can have fun experimenting. If you'd like to highlight his pleasure in bed, there's a condom to help you do just that. If a woman wants colorful, flavored or glow-in-the-dark condoms, there are brands designed like that as well. To get you started on all that steamy sex you'll have once you start collecting different kinds of condoms, here are a few types that you can choose from:
* Latex
This is the most basic type of condom out there which is also commonly used. Latex condoms are 85% effective in preventing pregnancy and STDs. Another benefit of using latex condoms is that they stretch, so you don't have to worry about size when grabbing a box. Just make sure to not mix them with oil-based lubes – silicon or water-based only.
* Non-Latex
Some men are allergic to latex, so it's better to use non-latex protection which has polyurethane sheaths. These are thin and come in two sizes, so they are flexible as well.
* Textured
If you'd like to give your partner a different sensation, look for condoms which are ribbed, dotted or even studded.
* Ultra-Thin
For men who complain that condoms reduce the sensation during penetrative sex, there's always ultra-thin condoms which have thicknesses that vary from .0016 to .0003 inches. They're just as safe as latex condoms and give you equally good protection.
* For Him and For Her Condoms
To boost a woman's pleasure, there are For Her condoms which have an enlarged head or a ribbed shaft to provide extra stimulation during penetration. For men, there are condoms with internal ribbing to provide extra friction, or a flared head to boost their own pleasure while doing the deed.
There are also flavored, glow-in-the-dark, Delay and Velvet condoms available. Have fun experimenting which among these condoms you should use to heighten your sexual experience while tangling the sheets with your lover!
