Would you be willing to feature in a Channel Five show about sexual health?
Channel Five is looking to speak to a young heterosexual person (preferably male) who is over the age of consent and has experienced problems with condoms in the past e.g condoms have split or been the wrong size.
The programme will be aired on Monday so they would need to speak to someone today who is based in London. Anyone interested should call Shami Choudhry on 0161 227 9153.
As well as the case study, the show will feature an interview with Anne Weyman, chair of the fpa.

1. They are almost all latex, anything that isn't is ridiculously difficult to get hold of and really expensive compared to the rest. And even when you find them and buy them they only come in one style, which means they don't fit properly and come off so much more easily.
2. You always always always get judged to be making it up when a condom splits or comes off. You know what, sometimes it happens.
I just remembered the omly time ever i have had a problem with a condom once it was on, it was a Flavoured one that tore across the middle, was years ago though, no problems since, once i get it on.
Even Durex, whose condoms are completely rubbish, aren't that rubbish.
The big problem I have with Durex is that the smell is disgusting, and they are very difficult to roll on with care. It's easy to tear one whilst rolling it on- several of mine have gone in the bin like that- and if you don't notice you've caught it it will fail later.
I always recommend Condomi in these threads.
Actually, thats all very personal. Maybe you shouldnt answer.
Each to their own :razz:
Although lately I have given these Durex Performa ago, pros of the condoms were they really do work I find in making you last longer.
BUT and it's a big but, I found that I didn't feel as hard when I've got it on, which resulted in less pleasureable feelings for me lol
I also found them a nightmare to roll down.
I would recommend them though if you are a bit of a Johnny two jerks and a squirt..
As I am not, I will not be using them after this pack
Plus my girlfriend finally just went back on the pill (2 years after our son was born lol) - Yeehaw!
Answering your question, he's the only person I've ever had sex with, but if I wasn't in a relationship, and didn't know the person's sexual history then I would use a condom, wouldn't want to risk nasties tbh.
That made me roar with laughter
I agree that the smell of Durex is pretty grim, though I find condoms on the whole a huge turn-off so that's just another tick in the negatives list for me. They do sometimes make things last a bit longer but to be honest that's not really worth it to me in the trade-off and so I have (well, my partners) rarely used them. I used to be incredibly vigilant about it when I first started having sex though... funny the way views on things like that change.
Risk you take eh
