LifeStyles - ribbed.  I think my response will be the only serious one for such a topic.  The reasons I say this brand/style:\n\nAffordable.  Less than 50 cents each.\nCommon.  Easy to find.  Get a 40 pack at Save-on for example.\nFeels good for him.  According to me.\nFeels good for her.  According to my wife.\nWork well.  Very high rating for preventing pregnancy / STDs.\n\nSince they are kinda plain, this recommendation is mostly for couples who have been together for awhile.  They work great for us because the sex itself is what makes things interesting.  The least expensive condom that works well is the goal.  In the heat of the moment nobody will care what brand it is, especially for couples who've done it a hundred times.\n\nHowever, if you're looking for something that will make a good first impression, the wilder the better.  Condom Revolution can hook you up with, uh, fancier condoms.

Be prepare with some condoms.

No, because condoms are only good for like 15 minutes...and then are only 98% effective.  \n\nA combinations of condoms (when used properly) and the pill are your best bet, because that provides protection from STD's as well as birth control.

I have no idea how to have "sefe" sex, but it has been rumored that abstinence is the best way to practice "safe" sex.  I prefer the condom method.

No, condoms are not 100% effective at preventing HIV transmission; however, when used correctly and consistently, condoms are highly effective and reliable in reducing the risk of transmitting and acquiring HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The surest ways to avoid the sexual transmission of HIV (and other STDs) is 1) to abstain from sex, or 2) to have sex with only one partner known be uninfected. The next surest way is to use condoms consistently and correctly during all penetrative sexual acts. When condoms do fail, it is most often because of improper and/or inconsistent use.\n\nFollowing these basic rules will further reduce the small chance of condom failure:\n1. Use latex (rubber) or polyurethane condoms.\nThese are preferable to "natural skin" condoms, which may have tiny holes through which HIV may pass.\n\n2. Choose a condom that fits.\nCondoms come in different sizes, shapes, and styles. Experiment with different condoms and practice putting them on before intercourse. Also practice talking with a close friend about your desire and intention to use condoms.\n\n3. Open and handle condoms carefully.\nNever use a condom in a damaged package or one that is past its expiration date. Do not store condoms in hot or sunny places (for example, in a wallet or by a window).\n\n4. Use plenty of water-based lubricant.\nWater-based lubricants help to reduce the friction that can cause breakage. Never use oil-based lubricants like Vaseline, hand cream, Crisco, or mineral oil which can rapidly break down latex and allow the virus to pass through. Water-based lubricants include K-Y Jelly, Slippery stuff, ForPlay, and most contraceptive jellies.\n\n5. Put the condom on after erection but before insertion.\nLeave some room at the tip for the discharged semen (some condoms have a reservoir tip for this). It is important to pinch the tip as you roll it down onto the penis to be sure that there are no air bubbles that could pop under pressure. If the penis is uncircumcised, pull back the foreskin before unrolling the condom all the way down to the base of the penis.\n\n6. After intercourse, withdraw the penis while still erect.\nHold the base of the condom to prevent it from slipping off or spilling semen. Remove the condom and wash the penis with soap and water.\n\n7. Use a condom only once.\nUse a condom only once and dispose of it in the garbage; do not flush condoms down the toilet. Never reuse a condom.\n\n8. Use a condom EVERY TIME during sex.\nUse a condom every time during sex when transmission or acquisition of HIV and STDs are possible.

Hi Cassidy.. Always use a condom but...My health care provider said that in a relationship use a condom for std control for 6 months then both of you get tested for all std's, then if you really want to stop using condoms its your own risk. If you use them anyway way stop? Good luck

As long as the condom does not break, then the answer to your question is no. And condoms rarely break when put on correctly.

To make oral sex a little more interesting. Condoms should be worn during oral sex too.

A condom is a device, usually made of latex or more recently polyurethane, that is used during sexual intercourse to reduce the risk of pregnancy and/or some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV. Condoms are also often used to cover medical ultrasound imaging transducers, keep a sex toy clean, and in cases of toys shared between partners, helping provide STD protection. Condoms do not protect against all forms of STDs. Other uses include holding water, keeping gun muzzles dry, and being a membrane to keep drugs intact whilst being trafficked. They are also known as prophylactics, as well as a number of colloquial or slang terms, such as rubbers.

ok well to be honest, i would think the condom is the best way to prevent pregnacy for a woman that you want to get involved with. Itz pretty good to Std's too. Pills or anything else has some side effects that can be hazardous to a person's life. i would stick with the condoms

Many complain that putting them on can interrupt foreplay and lovemaking, although some people have integrated wearing a condom as part of the entire process for sexual activity\n\nBecause of an obvious barrier of the skins, sensory stimulation is sacrificed, especially with older style thicker condoms, causing some people to dismiss condoms as limiting their pleasure (though this effect can be largely overcome by properly applying lubricants internally and externally). However, a woman can partially solve this problem by training her vaginal muscles, specifically the pubococcygeus

I don't really know!  I hope not!  Well, you can blow a condom up, and if it had pores, wouldn't the air escape?

I agree that a condom definitely ruins the moment. But AIDS, unwanted pregnancy, and other STDs will ruin many many moments. So it's the lesser of two evils, so to speak. One way to get over that might be to look at putting on a condom means the only way you are going to have sex. Another thing that helps for me is to have her help put the condom on.

Using condoms every time you have sex will offer significant protection from STD's including HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Keep in mind that condoms are not 100% effective, only abstaining from sex ensures no risk of infection. Condoms are designed for both pregnancy prevention/birth control and infection proection. The idea that condoms only offer protection for birth control and not infection or vice versa is false. Always use lubricated latex or lubricated polyurethane condoms. Never use unlubricated condoms, they are more likely to break. Never use natural skin/lamb skin/ membrane condoms, they will help prevent pregnancy but will not offer any protection from infections.

If he had an STD/HIV, about the same chances as if you hadn't been using protection.  Sounds like he was too small for the condom.
