Ah to cover or not cover, there is the question.
Okay we all remember that first time we slid our little head between the lips of our first homerun girl. And it is for that feeling that many of us are in this hobby. Today there are so many concerns out there. So we all have to make a choice.
As an older man I find myself in a unique position. One; I am clipped. Yes I had a vasectomy some time ago so as to eliminate the chance of having to pay support. And yes, my Dr has verified that the surgery was 100% successful. And, two; I have an allergy to latex. Okay, yes there are non-latex covers available. But the cost of those is higher and I find them to be weird. Now, my allergy won't kill me but if I use a latex cover (even for 5 mins) then within 12 hours I will start itching and the area will become red and small bumps may form. This usually lasts a few hours and dissipates within 24 hours.
Three; I just don't like covers. Okay the manufacturers of modern condoms say there so thin and offer a natural feeling. I don't agree. I find that uncovered is so much better a feeling.
Now, before everyone starts trying to rip me a new one. I never see a new provider without cover for first meeting. I have seen a few regulars and all were in agreement. I do get checked every 6 months and to date I am clear and clean. I always have a cover available just in case something does not seem right. And everyone needs to remember that while covers can protect you and her from unexpected surprises, it can only work if its on all the time.
BBFS = 100% at risk.
BBBJ = 70% at risk.
All I say is to check with your Dr. Know the risks. And make an educated decision that you can live with.
Enjoy yourself.
And be safe.
