- what's a good reliable brand?

- how do I know what size to get? do they say length/girth on the box?
- where can I get the good kinds, longs?

This is a question for the adult forums. Not pc nerds. This will possibly get locked.

first off, rubbers aren't fun. they interrupt the moment, they take away feeling, and they aren't very romantic. that said, they are critical to protecting you and your partner from disease/pregnancy. they suck but before you go bareback ask yourself if you're ready. i'm sure you already know what i'm talking about so i'll not go into it. my point is just get used to it until you find the right girl and you have other methods.

anyway... i don't think "brand" is more important than method. keep in mind that some girls are allergic or sensative to latex and/or the spermacide so you might want to get things clear first. if you approach it the right way a "good girl" will respect you for it and a "bad girl" will just laugh so no harm done. if neigher of you know the right one just try a small pack and see how they work for the both of you. the simple fact is 99% of the time you're not going to break a rubber unless things get "dry" and you rip it. make sure she's "warmed up" and if it starts to get dry don't force it - use lube (KY Jelly or something that doesn't break down latex). when things get dry she isn't comfortable and neither is your condom.

i can't belive i'm in a computer hardware forum (even "OT") saying this!

Just like Robor and a few others have stated, get a good, widely known brand and go from there. Foreplay is your friend, without making this a XXX thread, we'll just say that it helps later on.

Girls on the pill... Personally, unless I was actually there watching her get the shot, I'd use a condom. Unless you're seriously into this girl, been together a long time, etc. 'Cause if she's fibbing or the effectiveness has gone done since the initial shot, then my little guys are swimming around just waiting to tag an egg. And I don't want that. Condoms help protect more against STDs as well. With the pill, you can catch some interesting things, keep that in mind too. You don't know who else she's been with.

"Oh, you're my first!" Ri-ight. Nice way to try and boost my ego, the rubber still goes on. Either way, buy a pregnancy test for her about a month later ....

Have fun and play safe!

Yeah, Durex does break. Again, make sure both of you are lube up and ready before penetration to avoid breaking the condom.
