This is more of an etiquette question and I hope I'll be able to phrase it right. Regular condoms take away far too much sensation and thus I much prefer thin for the enjoyment of those involved.

However, typical newbie etiquette and rules state that we aren't supposed to discuss certain acts or details before a meeting. And, upon meeting we aren't supposed to discuss things either. So, how does one bring up the point that one is much preferred over the other? Is there a way to do this without scaring off a provider? Should I just shut up and hope for the best in that a provider has a healthy variety?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Once the money has been exchanged and you guys are both naked i think you can ask whatever you please.
That or after the provider does a LE check would be fine.

Keep your variety with you and when the time is right inquire about the acceptability of the thin condoms

I know if I was a hobbyist I would absolutely bring the supplies that worked the best for my HUGE cock. In fact.. I HOPE that I would even need to order them on-line to make sure they were big enough to fit.  hee hee

he will need to keep in mind that not all ladies will use them.  If they do they may want to inspect the casing in the bathroom to make sure they haven't been tampered with.  Sorry guys but some guests have previously adjusted the interior of the packaging with enough damage so as to cause the condom to break so they could ride bare.  Hence, some providers like myself choose not to use a brought condom unless I know the guest so well that a trust is already there.

Posting an ISO asking who carries a large variety and favorite brands/types on stock can give you a better idea who carries what you desire.  As well, if you are a married man it might look a bit odd if you are caught with them prior to the visit.

I carry a thin super sensitive condom because I like them, more sensation for me as well.  They are called Paradise Super Sensitive and are great, look them up.  Have never had one break which can be an issue with thin's.  I think it was either the Kimono or Okimoto brand that had an issue with me and breakage back in my pre-provider days.  I also carry larger ones for larger units Durex Love, and smaller for those who need something just a little snugger the Iron Grip.  Between those 3 types most guys seem to fall into 1 of them.  

If you like thins just ask for it once you arrive, AFTER your ISO post so you know she carries them.

Thanks, Sage. I too had a concern about bringing my own. I'm single so the act thereof isn't a problem. But, I don't want to be seen as malicious or suspicious by bringing my own cover and then having to have it inspected. Another etiquette thing, I guess.

make absolutely sure that they are still in the brand new, unopened box. Otherwise, they just ain't gonna get used. Even then, a lot of ladies just won't use them unless they brought them.

I stick with "bare" or skyn (as they are thin," magnums and the female condom.  That pretty much covers it.

The female condom seems to work best for gents who have difficulty staying hard with condoms.

I see.  U don't stock Magnums? I don't seem to get along with the Durex ones.

I'm glad to see how the hobby has evolved over time.  Back in the day I'd usually always have to bring my Magnums and now ladies are well prepared for all shapes and sizes!

Magnums smell like tires and are as thick as party balloons.  I use the lifestyles in the orange pack and the are lovely!

providers might be afraid hobbyists would tamper with condoms they bring themselves and hobbyists might be afraid providers would tamper with condoms the provider supplies to trap a guy into pregnancy and child support.   To ME at least..at some point.... past references and screening.. we gotta TRUST each other so we can get to enjoying the YUMMMY SEX.

I certainly always have available the basics of regular size and magnums and female condoms.. but I also absolutely respect if a guy has a preference or a trust issue himself and prefers his own. In 10 years of playing here I have NEVER had a guy tamper with a condom he brought himself... and vice versa I never tampered with any I provided either.

Well, I thought that in this case the providers generally set the rules on any 'trust' issues, as well they should. I think most of the risk (on most of the issues) is to them.

I hadn't considered bringing my own due to such issues, but I may. I'm not a 'condom connoisseur' and don't need anything that can only be bought on a specialty website. The thin variety of the regular stock has worked fine for me.

I read the suggestion elsewhere in this thread for an ISO ad but, in truth, I'd be more interested in finding the right provider than the right condom. While a 'condom fitting' seems like an interesting idea, I'm still young and things like finding the right position can also fix the same problem.

Been doing it for years now and haven't ever had it be a  problem with her.  I don't bring it up until the time comes for the plastic to come out and she reaches for her stash. At that point  I just say ask if we can use my brand because I like them and they fit me well, etc.  Often she'll give them a quick look to see what kind they are , but  nobody has ever questioned or made an issue of it.

Sounds to me like you are overly concerned about it. If you bring the subject up too early and / or she senses you are nervous,  she might think you are up to no good.  

These solve a lot of condom sensitivity issues.
