I am absolutely disgusted that this thread is now two pages long

Sickening lol

I also quite agree with Andrew, if its done properly lubrication shouldn't be required except in exceptional circumstances

Well, I think it depends on 2 factors:

a) How much time do you need to end your studies...
b) How many ejaculations per week are you going to have...

a) I guess you think of being 1000 days there...
b) it depends of how long you last or you want to last... and obviously how much time are you going to spend in the bedroom with someone during the 1000 days...

Ok this topic is getting a little adult oriented, we have underage people here (Me included!) and second, you can't have that many orgasms you will cause your testicles to overheat! lol

Man, if we talk about IM SR purpose in life, and question everything... I don't think "ejaculation" would be a complex subject... but well... the mods may judge that...

I mean that if you enter here like Steve says "you're taking responsability for your conscious development" or so... That's what he says in the intro of the web..

Okay, Here's a conundrum. I'm allergic to latex. (Ouch - are you imagining the pain? ). The old lambskin condoms are fine for birth-control, but not disease protection. For a while there were some plastic (non-latex) condoms on the market, but I haven't seen them lately. Are they still available?

I was recently divorced and have been concentrating more on myself lately than on relationships, but I don't intend to stay celibate forever, so any advice for the latex impaired?

I believe Durex Avanti are a poly/non-latex condom.

Thanks! I think thats the brand I used long ages before, but just haven't seen any lately. Then again, I haven't been looking too hard.

One day I'll have sex again.

I mean this in the nicest possible way: you two are such males.

Lubrication in women is highly variable, and a lot of things can affect it: age, genetics, general health, medications, time of the month, etc...

Never discount lube as "superfluous" for the man who "knows what he's doing." That's hogwash. A lot of women can be turned on in a lusty daze of "do me" and still not be wet. The area in question may need a LOT of direct manual stimulation before lubrication even begins. Adding a little lube can make the whole process much more comfortable and safer* for the lady in question.
*Natural lubrication is rarely enough to prevent micro-tears in the walls of the vagina, which opens up a risk for STDs for the woman. Keeping in mind that these tears always occur during sex, but extra lube minimizes them.

Nobody is too good for lube.

~~

Anyhoo, on to condoms. I like the trojan elexa condoms -- made with the woman's comfort at the forefront of the design team's mind.

Props to the x-rated thread.

Thank you for the extra female representation! That's exactly what I'm talking about.

This might sound like a stupid question, but do you only need to worry about lube if you wear a condom?

No, I don't think it would matter. But you have to use I think only water based lube with condoms. There's a rule you have to follow on the type to use because it'll kill the latex.

Hah, you make a valid point. I never said I would atest to it, I just never came across the need. I figured it's either 1. novelty, 2. unarousal, or 3. size. Honestly, I didn't think that that many women had problems getting wet. Thanks for the female perspective

Water-based is fine with latex -- you may be thinking of the no silicone-with-silicone rule. If you use a silicone lubricant with a silicone toy, it will start to dissolve.

My parents would be horrified if they knew the extent of my knowlege on this subject... heh.

For those of you who are extra studious, look up the "AFE zone". Stimulation in this area (usually) helps women self-lubricate relatively quickly. That being said, I've never known a lady to turn down some lube.

You can use lube without a condom, too. Latex seems to cause more friction than skin-to-skin contact, though.

You would probably be horrified with how much your parents know in this area, too.

Generally about the same price as the condoms... and sold right beside them on the drug store display.

In my experience, lack of lubrication can definitely cause condom breakage by causing it to tighten up, losing the reservoir at the tip. For that reason, my wife and I nearly always use it with condoms. A woman's natural lubrication WILL vary, guys. Stay with her long enough and you'll see.

Condom-wise, my preference is for Trojan Magnums. Nearly any of the Trojan ones will work, but the bigger ones are more comfortable. I've had Durex break on me.

In general, Trojan Magnum, preferably in the shiny gold wrapper (it’s so much prettier than the matte black version). If for some reason a condom is used to perform oral, there are flavored versions one can consider, but avoid anything with spermicide in that case (in any case, spermicides may be worth avoiding, as they can irritate the interior walls and actually increase the chance of transmitting various diseases as a result).

As for lubes, astroglide is great. Avoid oil based lubricants if condom
