I have had herpes in the past and my dermatologist said that herpes can be transmitted even if I'm not having any sores. And what about kissing—this is so difficult—having to tell a partner that I have had herpes and that it could be passed while kissing BEFORE we even kiss.Integrity and desirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12244095984514311975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-33449958487381786802009-01-07T10:51:00.000-08:002009-01-07T10:51:00.000-08:00Anonymous, men find lambskin condoms more sensitiv...Anonymous, men find lambskin condoms more sensitive, however they do NOT protect against STDs nearly as well as latex.<BR/><BR/>Here's what the Mayo Clinic says:<BR/><BR/>"Polyurethane and lambskin condoms do not protect against STDs as well as latex condoms do. Read the label on the package to see what the condom is made of and whether it's labeled for disease prevention. If you're concerned about preventing STDs, use a latex condom. Latex provides the best protection."<BR/><BR/>(see http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/condoms/HQ00463 for more about condom use)<BR/><BR/>I assume you want to protect against STDs rather than prevent pregnancy at our age, so stick with latex.Joan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423337694076541862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-35759573821722059862009-01-07T10:37:00.000-08:002009-01-07T10:37:00.000-08:00Thank you Joan for your advice of placing some lub...Thank you Joan for your advice of placing some lube on the head of the penis before unrolling the condom.

Not to mention that ill-fitting condoms, either too big or too small, are one of the leading causes of condom failure. If the condom's too small, it can break. If the condom's too big, it can slip off. (And this isn't a freak thing. I've had partners that have needed both bigger and smaller condoms, as well as had condom failure due to the condom being too big.)<BR/><BR/>They do make condoms in various sizes, and once we start educating people that the standard condom fits MOST but not all, and that having a condom that fits your penis well is important, the less condom problems we'll have and the more pleasure we'll all have.C4bl3Fl4m3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10407733748939470954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-66300293168295689692007-10-01T16:09:00.000-07:002007-10-01T16:09:00.000-07:00If you are female and shy about coming across as n...If you are female and shy about coming across as not trusting your partner, or just don't want to bring up the possibility of serious std's or imply that complete fidelity might not be happening, even in the beginnings of the heat of passion, you can always do the "southern thing." Southerners are good at being indirect for reasons which are the topic of much discussion; somehow this is just part of our culture. Just say that condoms help you avoid getting urinary tract infections from intercourse. I've actually found that they do indeed help with this.<BR/><BR/>I agree that people of every age need practice at making condom use more erotic, so that it becomes second nature and even something to look forward to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-56108859592048393272007-09-30T14:12:00.000-07:002007-09-30T14:12:00.000-07:00I agree completely regardless of age of either or ...I agree completely regardless of age of either or both people. When I was visiting my younger sexual partner or mentor in previous yrs, she not only bought the condom of my choice but she put it on my penis as soon as it got hard. There is also a problem if the man has trouble getting hard but it can be done and the woman trying to get it on him may help to excite the man. I can see this as being a major problem for many older couples.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
