While they protect us from the dangers of STIs and help with pregnancy prevention, they also mute a large part of the sensations that make intercourse so great. Hence, the age-old dilemma.<\/p>\n<p>For many, sex with condoms has been likened to showering with a raincoat on. Sure, sensations aren\u2019t totally blocked, but they\u2019re certainly reduced.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, many chose to forego preventative measures by foolishly opting to go in naked, and as most know, the risks include winding up with a \u201csurprise\u201d two weeks later or some incurable or at best, unpronouncable, disease.<\/p>\n<p>Although we can understand (we\u2019ve all been there), the facts point to using protection as the best policy.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also important to note that just because the person you\u2019re seeing isn\u2019t at risk of getting pregnant, for whatever reason, it doesn\u2019t reduce the need for a condom. Prevention of STIs is a shared responsibility and should be treated as such.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in a trusted or long-term couple, you&#8217;ll want to work out a clear prevention strategy; talking it over will eliminate misunderstandings or failed expectations.<\/p>\n<p>After all, sex and relationships are all about trust and communication.<\/p>\n<p>This all said, condoms make up a huge industry and the options for getting your mojo on are better than ever, with companies continually working to come up with innovative ways to increase pleasure while being safe.<\/p>\n<p>Here, we\u2019ve compiled what we think is important to consider when choosing a condom.

Although these options could provide some added excitement to your sex life, don\u2019t assume your partner shares the same preference as you \u2014 especially since, if you\u2019re the one wearing the condom, they\u2019ll be the ones feeling it most.<\/p>\n<p>Flavour: Sometimes paired with a matching flavoured lube, flavoured condoms should also be treated with similar reservation as textured condoms.<\/p>\n<p>If it helps, compare flavoured sex paraphernalia to a perfume or cologne \u2014 it\u2019s an intimate addition to the senses that could be off-putting for someone who prefers going au natural.<\/p>\n<p>Climax control: These are condoms made with a tiny amount of benzocaine, a local anesthetic designed to delay orgasm by slightly numbing the nerve endings on the penis.<\/p>\n<p>Usually recommended for those with premature ejaculation anxieties.<\/p>\n<p>The female condom: Like it sounds, female condoms are like regular condoms, except they\u2019re worn by women.<\/p>\n<p>They are just as effective in avoiding pregnancy and in protecting against STIs, fitting inside the vagina like a bag to trap sperm and keep it from entering the baby-making zone.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 31 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Thursday, 8 February 2018 Source: Graphic Showbiz 2018-02-08 File photo Condoms are generally ruled as a necessary evil.
