About Climax Control Condoms

"It's a tantra master wrapped in foil, the antidote to impatient passion. Two lines of "climax control" condoms that contain a mild anethetic, Benzocaine, promise men the sort of self-restraint that once required tantric meditation or at least a distracting thought or two during sex.

HPV Information

Genital HPV infection is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). Human papillomavirus is the name of a group of viruses that includes more than 100 different strains or types. More than 30 of these viruses are sexually transmitted, and they can infect the genital area of men and women including the skin of the penis, vulva (area outside the vagina), or anus, and the linings of the vagina, cervix, or rectum. Most people who become infected with HPV will not have any symptoms and will clear the infection on their own.

Center of Disease Control Male Latex Condom Fact Sheet

In June 2000, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), convened a workshop to evaluate the published evidence establishing the effectiveness of latex male condoms in preventing STDs, including HIV. A summary report from that workshop was completed in July 2001 (http://www.niaid.nih.gov/ dmid/stds/condomreport.pdf). This fact sheet is based on the NIH workshop report and additional studies that were not reviewed in that report or were published subsequent to the workshop (see link for additional references). Most epidemiologic studies comparing rates of STD transmission between condom users and non-users focus on penile-vaginal intercourse.

Condoms: Barriers to Bad News

What do condoms have in common with toothpaste and toilet paper?

Not enough, according to Adam Glickman, owner of the Condomania stores in New York and Los Angeles. Glickman, who has sold condoms by the millions to individuals and organizations such as the Peace Corps and Planned Parenthood, says condoms should be viewed as ordinary, like toothpaste and toilet paper. "People have gotten past asking, 'Isn't brushing my teeth every morning a hassle?' Given the world we live in, wearing condoms is something you just have to do, like brushing your teeth. The stakes are too high."

SAFER SEX IS HOTTER SEX !

Posted by Condom Depot on 05/29/2008

Condoms are an incredibly cool invention. They prevent disease and, if you're willing to give them a chance ... they can be fun! Several hundred years ago, people made condoms out of pigs' bladders ... but today we can buy condoms that science and technology have almost perfected for our safety and enjoyment.

When condoms fail, it is almost always because they've not been used properly. So here are the top ten tips for using condoms:

When condoms fail, it is almost always because they've not been used properly. So here are the top ten tips for using condoms:

Get a supply of the condoms that suit you best:

1. Use latex condoms. Brands such as Lifestyle, Trojans, Kimono, or Durex are usually reliable. Natural skin condoms feel good, but do not prevent diseases. If you or your partners are allergic to latex (it might give you a rash or irritation), try the polyurethane condom called Avanti.

2. You may find you want to use a special condom to suit your special needs:
• If you are uncircumcised, you may need a condom, such as Maxx, which is wider at the head.
• If your condom tends to slip off during sex, you might try a condom such as Mentor which has an elasticized band at the base.
• If your erect penis is unusually thick or long, you may need a condom such as Trojan Magnum or MagnumXL. But know that there is no penis that is "too big for a condom" – when properly used, any regular condom can fit over any penis any time.

Prepare for sex!

3. Take care of your condoms: store them somewhere handy (you never know when you may need them) ... but somewhere cool and dry (latex rots if it gets too warm, like in the back pocket of your pants for too long). Also, check the expiration date on the package... never use condoms that are too old, or that are in a package that has been opened by someone else, or that have been left out of their package, or that have been kept in a warm place.

4. Practice putting them on! Don't wait until you're in the heat of a sexual situation, get used to putting them on ahead of time. Then, when it's time for sex with a partner, you'll know what's what.

Get smart with condoms! Know how to use condoms properly!

5. Use care to roll the condom down the shaft of your penis as soon as you get erect. (If you're uncircumcised, you'll probably need to pull your foreskin back before putting the condom on). Pinch the reservoir at the top of the condom so that there's no air bubble trapped inside the condom (air bubbles can cause breakages).

6. Beware of jewelry or sharp fingernails as these can cause small rips or tears in a condom (which later lead to breakages).

7. Keep the condom firmly on your penis until you ejaculate. Then, if you are inside your partner withdraw and carefully remove the condom and dispose of it. Use a new condom each time you come inside your partner.

8. Lubricate! Your condom will probably come with some lubrication inside. For the pleasures of intercourse without discomfort, you will probably want to use additional lubricant on the outside of the condom... use only water-soluble lubricants that do not irritate you or your partner... never use petroleum-based lubricants or other oils or jellies because these will rot latex and cause damage to your condoms.

Communicate!

9. Talk! Talk with your partners... talk with your friends... about condom use. Tell your partners that you're using condoms because you value yourself, and you value them. If your partner is a man, tell him that you dig men who use condoms and who know how to use condoms... let's be real, sex can be the greatest pleasure there is, but it's no fun to give or get a disease.

Have Fun!

10. Make Condoms Sexy! Learn how to talk about them, to put them on yourself sexily, or – if your partner's a man – to put them on your partner sexily. If you choose to have fun, condoms can be exciting and sexy. Worrying about disease isn't sexy, it's a drag.

In addition to condoms over the erect penis, find out about how using latex covering for oral sex called Lixx Dental Dams can prevent diseases spread through the mouth... Also, for women who dig vaginal sex, find out about the "female condom" which is usually called Reality.
