What's a good brand for latex Condoms? I usually get them from my doctor and not familiar with the brands.

Thanks.

Gambling, & alcohol aren't my only addictions in life. In my last 30 years of mongering and being active I've used condoms for Anal and Vaginal Sex but 15% of the time failed to do so.

I get involved in Oral sex activity very commonly without protection, & I get a blood test every 6 months and to my surprise my test results came out clean and negative for both A blood test and urine test, So my question is this I hate the use of condoms but very well aware you can still catch stuff especially with very nasty Hookers and is the percentage high or no? I talked with my doctor and said HIV is slim but HPV is very common but usually your body will self fight it over time. Am I just lucky? Or does it happen? I carry my condoms at all times but will fail to use them on oral and will use it for vaginal penetration 85% of the time. Any thoughts?

The best condom for sensation during intercourse is the female condom, but you have to add lots of lube. It allows you to feel friction, whereas the male condoms typically only let you feel pressure.

The best male condoms for sensation are the thin, non-latex ones. The thinnest is the Unique Pull at .015 mm. The Japanese thin condoms like Sagami 001 (actually .018 mm) get good reviews for sensation, but they are too narrow and tight fitting for most American men to wear comfortably. There are also condoms with a loose fitting head that are lubricated on the inside, like the Trojan Double Ecstasy. They give a little bit of friction for added sensation. Some men just add a drop of lube inside the tip of a regular condom to get the same effect. That should work for a BJ.

I did find them on line. Funny the Unique Pull only comes in sizes of medium to long and large.

Usually one practices safe sex by using a condom. But, which brand provides the most sensitivity while still protecting against STDs and pregnancy? And what about getting a covered blowjob? Which one is the best to use that provides the greatest pleasure?

Don't rule out 2% tincture of iodine for herpes or genital warts. The medical hoopla media only has you believing it won't kill viruses, and it oftentimes kills jock itch when nothing, doctor given, will. Just give it a try, and once the symptoms subside, you can worry yourself sick about hidden demons at work within you. You can get a gallon of this stuff from California Veterinary Supply for a fraction of what it cost at the drugstore if the drug store even sales it anymore. Lugol's iodine can be bought on line and is safe to ingest for antibiotic resistant bacteria. Lugol's doesn't have the methanol base that makes traditional iodine poisonous. I've, nevertheless, used a few drops of traditional iodine per quart of uncertain drinking water without consequence. I've also put this stuff in chicken water along with sulfa to control acute fowl Cholera. All kinds of stuff on the internet for and against Lugol's can be pulled up. The gubmint is scared to death about us finding out about it. BTW, I'm pretty sure I was first to use "gubmint. " Anytime, I'm talking IRS I use Prince Fedgov, but with police interference with docs it's gubmint. The simple fact of the matter is that before penicillin, they gave iodine to people all of the time. At one time it was the gold standard for clap and syphilis. Not being able to get this stuff at the drug store, now, has nothing to do with meth labs. Big Pharma feels threatened. Immigrants from socialized medicine countries, where they have no worthy doctors, are up on this matter and have been kind enough to reintroduce it.

Frankly, the epidemiology does not support that bareback sex is particularly dangerous. The risk of pregnancy can, of course, be high. I have the opportunity to read quite a few studies in my course of work. I've posted a rough summary to the following image.

Most of the figures I present I adapted from a fairly good summary by Dr Constantin (she doesn't prevent the data very clearly):

Primary source: https://srconstantin.wordpress.com/2...td-statistics/.

The only real risk for lifetime issues from this hobby. Is having to deal with genital warts from HPV and herpes. This is a factor more of the quantity of sex partners and is not because of condom use. Unfortunately, neither of these viruses are particularly well prevented with condom use. Skin on skin contact in the genital area outside of the coverage of the condom is where much of the transmission occurs. The bacteria infections are fairly well prevented with a condom, but they are also easily cured with common antibiotics. HIV and Hepatitus are very, very rarely passed through heterosexual oral or vaginal sex.

Anal sex is another animal altogether. It ALWAYS causes some rupture of small blood vessels in the anus. This is true even if there is no blood visible. The most danger is to the receiver, but there is a much higher incidence of transmission to the giver. HIV and Hepatitis are very fragile viruses. But they flourish in a bloody anus. Blood from vaginal sex is almost always from the uterine lining and poses a much much lower risk to both partners. I would advise against BB anal sex. To each there own though.

Correction on the Herpes HSV2 no condom transmission rate. Should read. 015% or 1/6700 sex acts.

I guess it's a sensitive subject around some circles -- I got a swat on the hand from an admin on another thread for asking that very last question a while back, or maybe it was just the way I asked it. Was told it was none of my business what anyone else chooses in that regard. It was then that I realized, although it seems like we're all here for generally the same thing on the surface most level, our motivations are actually all very different. As tempted as I am to write an essay on the subject, I'll just say that although it's very tempting to BB everything when I read some of the hot reviews in which others have done it, the big head ultimately rules me, and I don't do anything uncovered except BBBJ, which still has risks. I also recognize that I am ultimately responsible for myself, my choices, and results of them, no matter what I am offered or what anyone else is doing.

Hey, perhaps I am reading incorrectly (if so my bad!) but seeing a bit of hurt, so let me add what I know.

YES! If one posts safe sex discussions in the normal threads two things happen:

1) It starts a fire storm of "opinions" and flame wars.

So Admin does NOT want a bunch of arguing clogging up reports on girls, so he set up this place where the discussion can take place. One is free to discuss Safe Sex practices or lack thereof here. No need to hold back on one's essay here!

2) The post gets taken down by the Admin and the poster spanked. I know this for a fact as I have made that mistake and gotten spanked before. I'm still alive!

I applaud you on your resolve to not do something because that is what everyone else is doing. That is a good philosophy to follow. Kudos.

That said, I think one should examine the facts surrounding the issue as to re-evaluate the actual risks involved. If one can be objective, set fear aside and rationally examine the facts, then perhaps one might change their beliefs?

Stay safe!

Good stuff there! What this all boils down to is RISK MANAGEMENT! There are things one can do to lower risk, like use a condom every time.

But for the most part humans are pretty bad at evaluating risk and managing it in a rational way. It doesn't help that, faced with an epidemic (HIV), that gubmint went on a scare tactic "public service" mission to scare everyone onto believing BBFS = death sentence. People get that in their heads and it becomes a "belief" like religion and they will never change it regardless of the evidence presented.

As FooteRoger's links point out, the transmission rate from female to male is VERY LOW! That is if the skin on your junk is 100% intact! But if you have a cut, open sore or maybe even raw, chaffed skin the transmission rate increases.

Add that to several other facts:

1) There is nothing out there right now that will kill you, with proper medical treatment.

2) The rate of incidence of "people living with HIV" is generally less than 2% meaning 98% do not have HIV.

Now all of that said, I do agree that BBFS anally is NOT a good idea. The risk of transmission is significantly higher!

If you believe a single word a provider tells you. You're already setting yourself up for failure. I personally would never bb with a backpage girl, even if she's telling you she's low volume it's probably not the case. You need to understand one golden concept. You are not special. If she says "I only do this for you". It means she does it with plenty others. If the risk is worth it to you go ahead but a lot of guys like myself stop seeing providers who go no glove on the regular.

I first want to make sure I don't want any names, but more of a "something to keep in mind" type of response. I'm fairly new at this, the last couple of times I've dreamt of providers I dreamt about BB Greek, from girls who have been mentioned on this site. Overall, are most girls clean? Part of me would say yes because they know how to be more wary than some random girl at a club would be. But then the other part is the high volume. I always ask if they're clean and they always respond yes. But who knows if they mean it or not just to make a few bucks you know? What are your thoughts on BB anything?

I'd say you might as well play Russian Roulette. Most of the girls doing this has a habit and therefore has no care in the world. They will lie, cheat, steal, whatever is needed to seal the deal and get the money for the next fix. It would be hard to convince me they know more about being clean than a club girl since most just don't care.

MRSA and VRE (which doesn't get as much publicity for some reason) are very common in the prisons, so if the girl has been to jail there's a good chance she's been exposed to them. Anyone who's ever worked in the medical field has certainly been exposed to them as well. It is possible to carry them for years without ever actually having an infection yourself. Many people are very likely exposed to them daily, but never have any issues. Shower, use antibacterial soap, and you'll probably be fine. Shaving on the day of any sexual encounters can increase your chances of infections. So will brushing your teeth or using mouthwash containing alcohol, if you're engaging in any oral activities.

Stay safe, and happy hunting.

Have talked to many a ho out of jail that complains of getting "spider bites" while incarcerated (as well as many others.) Pretty sure every case is a staff infection.
