Condoms question?!


Question:

Condoms question?

My girlfriend and I are planning to have sex. It is both of ours first time. I need the magnum sized condom but she won't have sex unless we use a spermicidal condom... which is not in magnum size. So which condom do I choose?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.


Answers:

thumbs up for wanting to protect yourselves! try buying spermicidal lubricant separately and adding a drop or two inside the condom. actually, though, research indicates that non-spermicidal condoms are equally effective to those with spermicide as long as they are used correctly. this means that you don't rip or tear them, there is enough natural or water-based lube so as not to break them, and you pinch the air out of the tip when putting it on. also, spermicide can be very irritating.

i would highly suggest that your girlfriend consider hormonal borth control, such as the pill, patch, shot or ring, in addition to condoms. perhaps you should both visit a local family planning clinic to discuss all of your options. they often have many forms of contraceptived available at low cost and can give you advice. congratulations on being responsible and enjoy!
