Will the Best Condom Please Stand Up?

We all know what they are like.  Sticky, they stink and can really nock the mood.
So what are the best condoms out there. The truth is , they are a bit like beer.
Everyone has different tastes and requirements.

Sure, in today’s world of exotic STD’s its not only good to be safe, its good sexual etiquette.

Then there is how you want to feel. They may all pass minimum safety standards, but not all condoms are created equal.

Maximum Sensitivity

“By far the most advanced condom material is a medical polyurethane called Microsheer” writes Sex Education Correspondent Oskar McHendry. It is thinner and stronger than latex, and more expensive.

“But they’re worth every dime for the added sensation that they permit” he said. Microsheer’s new technology is non allergenic and have no taste or smell.

In other words, if your women decides to delight you orally, she won’t get a rash or be put off by the taste of latex.
Another improved condom technology is Tactylon, which is non allergenic reactions and stretches more comfortably than latex

Besides the material, shape can influence sensitivity.

“If you find that condoms reduce sensation during sex, consider a condom with a baggier head and/or part of the shaft” wrote Dr. Debby Herbenick, author of Because It Feels Good: A Woman’s Guide to Sexual Pleasure and Satisfaction.

She suggests Inspiral, Pleasure Plus, Trojan Twisted Pleasure or Trojan Ecstasy.

Dr. Debby Herbenick, is Research Scientist at The Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University and a sexual health educator at The Kinsey Institute  and she seems to have the run down on condom shape.

Want to last a little longer?

“ Try a desensitizing or performance-enhancing condom” said Dr. Herbenick.Examples are the Durex Performax Climax Control condoms that have a small amount of benzocaine in them to reduce sensitivity.

However, they can be a problem if you have sensitive skin.

So you’re extra large?

Herbenick  recommends Trojan XL condoms, adding that snugger fit condoms may help if they feel a bit roomy.

Oral Sex?

While, condoms made of Microsheer have no taste, why not go for some added flavor?

A tasty flavored lubricant such as Great Head or Climax Fruit Bomb can be added to any non-lubricated condom.

Latex sensitive?

We have already mentioned the non allergenic benefits of polyurethane type materials.

One extra tip form  Dr Herbenick. Besides a polyurethane condom if you have a latex allergy, avoid having it out on the carpet. Carpet has latex fibers in it.
