Never, ever understood
That kind of thing.
Having used plenty of condoms, but also being married for years so having had plenty of shagging without, there really is little difference.
Sure, the stopping to put one on is inconvenient (though any man worth his salt should be able to bet one out and put it on properly without stopping some kind of foreplay anyway) but beyond that, what harm do they do? Miniscule loss of sensation? Is that it?
People who don't use them (unless in a long term relationship and they're sure of their choice not to) are dickheads.
Completely agree.
My girlfriend's on the pill, but we still use them most of the time (sometimes I've run out and haven't bought more yet), but I have to say I prefer using them for a couple of reasons..
a) Because the sensation of finishing inside is 9999999999999999x more pleasurable than whipping it out.
b) She doesn't have to get up afterwards if you cum inside her and it all drips out.
c) If you whip it out you don't have cum all over the sheets.
d) I like the fact that since there is a bit less sensation, I can last longer. To be honest I enjoy sex a lot more when she's clearly enjoying it - hopefully more than once! I'm sure I'm not the only guy on here who sometimes has to distract himself when bareback, as Alan Partridge says 'to keep the wolf from the door'. With a jonny on I don't feel the need to do that.
There are negative sides to it I agree. The putting it on one, and the that fact that it might kill the moment are utter myths though. My main gripe is the cost. Unless you order from the various websites which sell cheap condoms (which are still the top brands), you have to pay a fuck of a lot.. and I don't like the idea of paying for sex, even if it is £10 for 12 shags.
Plus they do tend to break. Durex avente's are the worst for this in my experience - I'm not kidding you, I once went though a pack of 6 in one session, without being able to cum once.. that's killing the mood! Plus we had a scare once before she started taking the pill when one broke and we didn't notice until it was too late.. the problem being that it was in Rome on a Sunday.. now you try to find the morning after pill in that town on that day! Fucking shit day that was!
