LOL, a butt STD. There's not such thing. You might get a little brown on your stick, but there's no butt STDs. Plus, STDS can only go to the receiver, so as long as your shooting something into someone, and not on the receiving end, you can't get an STD.

PLEASE take a sex education class before any interaction with a partner. You are 100% wrong about two things in that sentence. Somebody on the "giving" end certainly can get an STD, and you absolutely can get STDs from anal sex. If you were right, there would have been no AIDS epidemic in the gay community a few decades ago, but there was.

Yea no joke. Risk of getting an STD is higher for BOTH partners when their is anal sex involved.

Luckily this dude has an infinite amount of time to prepare.

I just use plain old Trojan ENZ. They come in a bright blue box. They work just fine for me.

durex, whatever the thinnest ones. Trojans always smell too much like latex.

Yeah can't agree more--hate the odor that they put off. But I like them since they are very reputable.

Trojan Magnum XL, but in the UK you can only get them via internet stores. Best by far.

I no longer use condoms. Thank fvck.


Awaits the, 'BOLLOCKS! You don't use them!' comments.

I generally buy the lubricated and ribbed trojans in the orange box, only because it's what I'm use to. I've tried some condoms that aren't ribbed and don't like them as much. Best thing to do is ask your partner what they like.

I've found that I like the LifeStyle Ultra Thin with Spermacide the most.

Nuvaring. Ortho Tri Cyclene. Yasmin. Yaz. Alesse. Take your pick. Female birth control is the way to go.

Unless they have a vasectomy, most likely.

I've experimented in depth on this topic care of Hot Deals - got an assorted box of 100 for $20 USD a year or so ago. :p

- Trojan Magnums are a good size, but are way too thick, dulling any sensation.
- Trojan Classics suffocate the poor boy and still are way too thick.
- Okamoto Beyond Sevens are so-so.
- Okamoto Crowns are great (very thin) but are clearly designed for the wee ones amongst us. Ow.
- Durex Performax have that lubricant that acts as a mild anasthetic to let you last longer. I didn't notice a difference.
- Durex Intense Sensation have lots of little raised studs "for her pleasure". No real difference was noted by the lady.
- Durex Maximum Love are perfect. Thin, a nice "silky smooth" lubricant, and large (about the same size as a Trojan Magnum).

Finally, a little buying tip. Order your condoms online from a site like http://www.condomman.com/ (a yllus approved vendor). Hell, try out a variety pack. :)

Finally a condom that will fit right! I always ask about extra small but they always just laugh at me.

In all honestly, I've done the Lifestyles Ultra Thin when I've used 'em and they're pretty solid. They do leave a certain amount of smell/taste which isn't so pleasant, but that might be the spermicidal lubricant. Eww.. it's nasty stuff.

I ordered a Durex variety pack several days ago from condomman.com, but it hasn't come yet. They don't have tracking info which kinda sucks.

For me, regular trojans or trojan supras. Comfortable and practical.
Never impregnated a girl to the best of my knowledge. Never had an STD.

Have had Durex, Lifestyles, Sheik and all other major brands bust on me at least once. Fortunately, this was at a time in my life when I was with a girl I trusted and we were just experimenting with condoms.

Never broke a trojan.

Interesting sidenote, just about every girl I knew that carried condoms always used a cheap brand, and they were often out of date.
Never made much sense to me.
