Fellow Panthers, upon researching this topic, it was found that numerous students here in Pantherland are having unprotected sex…with multiple partners.”It doesn’t feel right,” or “they are too small” are just a few of the many excuses used by men to avoid wearing a condom. Well, there are a few guys who don’t wear them because “they” are too small, but just go with the excuse ‘it doesn’t fit.’
Here are some condom quick facts so that you can learn more about them and how much more pleasurable using the right condom can be. Let’s go over the three parts of the condom. First there’s the ring. The ring is at the open end and protects the condom from falling off or sliding. Next is the tip, which is self explanatory. It acts as a reservoir for ejaculate. In between is the sheath which covers the shaft.
Condoms come is three materials. Latex, the most popular, the safest, and the least expensive condom; polyurethane, the thinner plastic; and natural skin, which offers more sensitivity than the other two. Before choosing which condom you would like to use, be sure to know the safety precautions that come along with each. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one to six percent of the population is allergic to latex. Polyurethane condoms are hard to find and they have been known to break more than latex condoms. Natural skin condoms are more expensive than latex condoms. Also, while they are effective in preventing pregnancy, they DO NOT protect against sexually transmitted diseases.
Condoms come in all colors, shapes, sizes, styles, textures, and flavors. Believe it or not guys, they have a website where you can order condoms in 55 different sizes (www.condomania.com). There are ribbed and studded condoms on the market that give both men and women maximum pleasure during sex. For the kid in you, try a colored, flavored, or even a glow in the dark condom. These condoms can be purchased at novelty stores such as Spencer’s, Condoms to Go, and even on-line.
Not using a condom can lead to pregnancy, STDs, and even death. Most importantly, know that more pleasure can be fulfilled during sex if you use the right condom. Panthers, in the health center here on campus, condoms are FREE, so not being able to afford them shouldn’t be an issue. Guys, be sure to check the expiration date on your condom before using it and if you can help it, try not to store them in your wallet for long periods of time.
Hopefully, you have gotten some much needed information that will protect you and please you in the future. Ladies and gentlemen, just wrap it up and remember that one night of pleasure can lead to a lifetime of pain, but if you use the right condom, you and your sex partner will be safely satisfied.
