New Stickers on Condom Boxes
Condom Guys,
I have a question that I would appreciate a responce. I just got a couple box's of rubbers the super sensitive ones with Non. 9. I read on the box not for daily multiple use. Why is this? And what are the side effects? That seems silly to me because my partner and I want to do it more then once a day, but protect against pregnancy. What do we do?
- Lookin for Multiple Daily Use
Multiple Use,
Okay here's the deal. The US government has struck a deal with the condom industry to phase out the use of N-9 in condoms. In 2000 it became apparent that the use of N-9 may contribute to the transmission of sexually transmitted illnesses because, as a detergent, it can produce micro-lesions in the muscus membranes of the vagina or anus. These micro-lesions may allow for opportunistic infections to enter yours, or your partners, body.
As a general rule you should only use N-9 as a female applied contraceptive gel, foam, or film. Men should attempt to avoid N-9 treated condoms as much as possible. As part of this compromise the sticker to which you refer has recently begun to appear on the packaging of condoms sold in the United States. Here's what it says:
CAUTION: Condoms lubricated with nonoxynol-9 are for vaginal use only and not for frequent multiple daily use.
So if you want to use a condom for multiple daily use (Good for You!!!) then try to stick to condoms without N-9 on them.
I hope this helps,

Length to Girth
My "length to girth ratio" falls outside the parameters of "
TheyFit" condoms (O22). I'm so bummed. :-)
Since it's the "girth" part that's out-of-range, would you recommend going with 3 sizes longer to get proper width (with the resulting "ring" at the base), or one size longer and 1 size thinner (possibly tighter than best comfort)?
I hate the force needed to get commercial condoms on, and especially the "rubber band" effect even "large" condoms give me at the base. It's so bad my sex life suffers because I "wilt" in anticipation of the discomfort before we even get started. Thus, I was thrilled to see your product in "Men's Health". I'll probably try whichever option you think best.
Mr. Girth,
You have parsed the situation exactly right. Since you can always leave a bit of the condom unrolled at the base the primary fit should be girth. So if you find that our Fit Kit does not give you both the correct length & girth then you want to aim first for girth. Since your member comes in at O22 you want to go ahead and purchase the next size up in length while maintaining your girth: the U22.
I hope this helps.

Condom Slippage
I need your assistance in determining which products to purchase for my needs. My girlfriend is allergic to latex, so non-latex condoms are our only option. Unfortunately, we have tried all the polyurethane products (natural skin condoms do not prevent the spread of STDs), and found them dangerously prone to slippage. Can you suggest an alternative? Is there a supplemental product that I should buy (naturally, one not made of latex), that I can use to help keep the condom in place? Thanks for your advice...
Dear Slippage,
Polyurethane is not any more prone to slippage than any other condom. What you are experiencing probably relates more to size issues than the type of material of which the condom is made. Since polyurethane does not stretch like latex you may just be a tad too narrow down there for the condom to get a good grip.
One solution we can recommend is a good cock ring. If you find a nice snugly fitting cock ring and then place it over the condom at the base of your tool you will probably find it serves to both keep you harder longer as well as serve as a great way to keep your condom steady while you do your deed.
Hope this helps!

Ah the Finger in the Vagina!
dear condom guys,
i was wondering if i could ask a question for my friend because she so scared of asking anyone herself...so i thought this might be a great way of asking a question because i remember in skool u guys came n did a presentation for us...n u guys said if we had any questions feel free to ask even though if its not related to condoms ..it could even be about having safe sex...so if u could answer this question for me ...me n my friend would greatly appreciate it....
heres my question....
* if a guy puts his finger up a girls vigina, would that lead to anything like maybe the girl might have babies?....or she might end up being pregnet or somthing?....jus curious or the only way to get pregnet is when the guy put his penis in her vigina only?
thank you for ur time, much appreciated ....
Dear Friend,
Well if a guy puts his finger up a girls vagina it shouldn't get her pregnant (or somthing) but it just depends. If he confuses his penis with his finger he just may get her pregnant (or somthing). Or, and more importantly, if he has cum or precum on his fingers and then puts his fingers up in her vagina there is certainly a chance she could become pregnant (or somthing).
I hope this helps you (and your friend),

American Standardized Penis Scale
This editorial from the Opinion section of Indiana Daily Student really got us going here at Condomania central. Read on:
The positive implications this product offers the world extend far beyond Condomania's humble claims of reduced slipping and pinching.
First of all, it's based on an orderly structure. As our nation stubbornly rejects the metric system, quibbles over the idea of an official language, and even refuses to agree on Daylight Savings Time, Condomania provides a system that everyone can accept: a standardized penis scale. This could be a powerful diplomatic tool, particularly if it was accepted as the American Standardized Penis Scale. In cases of conflict, we could forget the whole bloody battle façade and cut right to the chase. Which bureaucrat scores better on the ASPS? Considering what is truly at stake in a power struggle, it seems this method would be much less arbitrary than warfare.

The Trojan Games
Oy, this is hilarious! I especially like the weightlifting couple. "Look ma, no hands!"
Here's an excerpt from the Judo matches: If anyone is on the fast track to the top of the Judo pile, it's Tricia Williams. Growing up in the seaside town of Hastings, Williams soon realised she had a talent for intercourse and fighting.
