If you are having sex with multiple partners, or are starting a new relationship, or if you have extra marital affairs, you need to think about protection. Sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) and Aids are on the increase and it is possible for someone to have a STD and not be aware of it because not all have noticeable symptoms. Some STD's such as chlamydia can lead to infertility and have a huge impact in later life and all for the sake of a little protection.

Condoms have come a long way since the reusable rubbers of the 1920's where one would keep his rubber in a little box and rinse it out after use and pop it back into its box. Makers of condoms have tried to make condoms a more pleasurable item for lovers to use. Since its humble beginnings the condom has had a revamp in the form of a new shape, as the shape we know condoms today with a little sack at the tip co collect sperm, thus offering the snuggest of fits. Condoms have also been updated with a new modern material - Latex this is streatchier, and so can be made finer and have all the strength needed to not rip. Condoms today are sheerer, more convenient to get hold of, better fitting, lubricated, spermasided, ribbed, coloured, flavoured. A far cry from the 'so thick its like wearing wellingtons' ones our grandparents had to make do with. Additionally condoms have been coated in spermicides and lubricants to make them more protective and user friendly.

After reading the back of a packet of condoms, you will understand why wearing a condom during sex interferes with the sexy steamy ambience.

Place the rolled condom over the tip of the hard penis, and if the condom does not have a reservoir top, pinch the tip of the condom enough to leave a half-inch space for semen to collect. If the man is not circumcised, then pull back the foreskin before rolling on the condom.

That's enough to turn the hottest passion into a flop!

It takes some practise but its well worth the effort to learn how to apply a condom pleasurably. Get yourself a model cock (A penis shaped Dildo with a suction cup at the bottom) and stick it to the kitchen table and spend some time alone with it practising. To keep the passion factor high you need to master putting the condom on with your hands as the back of the packet describes whilst stimulating and caressing the penis and balls with your mouth and tongue. As you unroll the condom down the shaft of the penis have the rubber covered head of the penis in your mouth and suck hard so that he can feel your there. Men are often concerned that their penis is less sensitive when wearing a condom and sucking hard will help to keep him excited. If you don't like the taste of rubber opt for flavoured condoms.
