Currently, condom wearing seems like an attachment almost mandatory when it comes to sex. Truly, as far as sexuality goes, men and condoms share
a rather conflicting relation.
In spite of its efficient protection against sexually transmitted diseases
- STD's, this renders it indispensable for sexual relations. Men and
women, notwithstanding media efforts towards sexual education, seemingly
still reluctant about it, letting themselves in harms' way, unnecessarily.
The vast majority of men, when asked about preferences towards sexual
intercourse whether wearing condoms or not, would probably answer that they
prefer sex with no condom wearing whatsoever.
I dare to say on grounds of medical practice that too women would prefer a
sexual relation without preservative, and are motives innumerous of both
parties to despise and overlook such vital accessory.
The male public has loss of penis sensibility as major complaint that for some
would hold back ejaculation. As for elder men, preservative wearing can cause
erectile disturbances, whether at the moment of putting it on or by loss of
erection at the peak of sexual intercourse due to sensitivity drop.
Most women complain of rashes or latex allergy, on which point hampers sexual
performance by stinging during sex.
Both genders complain about a necessary pause to put it on, which gets in the
way of built atmosphere from foreplay.
With regards to the female condom, complaints are of aesthetic and auditive
origins, as awkward noise likely to give off during sex, promoted by
friction of the penis against the latex.
Be as it may, everyone has a thing or two about whether liking or not preservative
wearing, thus what needs saying and made clear is that safer sex is fundamental
nowadays and the so polemic condom can't afford to be left out.
So far, there should be modes of usage sought that minimize discomfort, enabling
one to take the most out of sexuality.
A good example for those into oral sex, with a little bit of practice
makes to place a condom on by mouth possible that is, so preventing any kind
of unnecessary pause during sex act. Sometimes, this maneuver turns out
so perfectly done that him doesn't even realize that a condom was fitted on
his manhood.
This is just a practical example of what can be implemented in a sexual
relation, as you're free to devise your own ruse.
Each one's creativity is the limit to not let be without condoms ever, for
when there's no safer sex, all that remains is doubts to say the least.
Don't hesitate. Use and abuse of preservatives to be happy and healthy ever
after.
