Types of Condoms and What Women Like About Them
Posted on Sep 18 2008Nowadays, condoms come in a variety of sizes, colors, and even flavors. There are small ones, skinny ones, purple ones, strawberry ones, peppermint ones.you name it, and it probably exists. Soon, we might find that we already have as many types of condoms as Hallmark have cards. There used to be a time in another era when there was only one kind of condom out in the market, as far as the texture (or nubbing) is concerned. That has changed in monumental fashion. Nowadays, they can be adorned with latex or they can be ribbed. Some of them can just be on the exterior but some are studded both inside and outside. Presumably, this is also to provide the user with added enjoyment.
Exactly how many different kinds of condoms are out there? Are there in fact any significant differences at all? Basically, all condoms would fall under 8 categories in general, based on the primary consideration. These do not include the ones that would be invented tomorrow (knowing the ingenuity of today’s generation, they will come up with something). The first is the material; it is either made from polyurethane or latex. Second is the size that involves the width and not the length. However, those available in convenience shops are standard-sized. Third is the kind of lubrication where different substances are used for different brands of condoms. Fourth is the spermicidal. Spermicidal lubricant is sometimes used to lessen the probability of pregnancy.
One of the more common is called nonoxynol-9. Some people are sensitive to this and if used for a long time, can increase the risk of HIV infection. Fifth is the Ribbing. There are many people out there, who complain about not being able to feel a thing. The ribbed condoms are a heaven-sent condom for them. The ridges make sex more "feel-able" for the couple. Next is colour, this is fairly self explanatory. Seventh would be flavour, these add some excitement to oral sex. Eighth and the last, is the reservoir tip. Most condoms have this reservoir-like end opposed to the few others which have plain tips. For the reservoir type,! it is important to pinch the tip before rolling it on. This i! s more or less mandatory because if air gets in, it could course the condom to rupture while you are getting busy and you wouldn’t want that to happen. Actually, there is a ninth type, but since our topic is men’s condoms, a simple mention of it would suffice. That is the female condom
Now that we are through enumerating them, let us go to the more important part, the answer to the question "what is it that women like in a condom?" In terms of material, latex is the most popular and recommended; it is best to avoid the all natural ones (lamb membrane for example). Some unenlightened religions claim that viruses can go thru latex and this is absolutely untrue. The use of a proper lubricant, using water-based lubricants with those that are pre-lubricate! d with spermicidal gel or foam, using petroleum jelly or baby ! oil as lubricant is risky. These types while they reduce friction they have the tendency to weaken the condoms, even latex. Packaging is also an invitation.
More specifically, what do women look for in a condom? Some condoms are packaged to look like tampon containers and a few women find this attractive. The style also counts e.g. the classic French ticklers have a popular appeal as these (just like the ridges) increas! e pleasure during intercourse. For this same purpose, some wom! en insist that their lovers buy the ultra thin type. Of course, not all nationalities are alike. Japanese women don’t really care what type of condom is used as long as it is used as they prefer to use condoms rather than the pill as the main form of contraception. For as long as she gets assured that it would not break, she probably doesn’t actually care on what specific kind of condom is used.
Lastly, the most interesting though, according to one expert on the topic (she came out with a hilarious yet enlightening piece) - women generally, do not care about the ridges, ribbing or the lubrication. The problem she claims is that condoms are designed by men. She asserts that if women were to be the ones to do this designing, they would just make "padded" condoms. Length may not really be crucial, but according to her, width does and that is where the padding comes in naturally.
