Men always claim that sex feels different without a condom but women,
Do you think it's different?
Why or why not?

it does feel different with a condom than without.  Many of us guys cannot cum in the bag in intercourse, me, I do it about 1/3 of the time, and it has nothing to with the provider I'm with, or how hot she is.  It either happens or it doesn't.

Like you Ashley, I"m interested to see the ladies' responses, very interesting question.

In my personal life, if I'm considering a boyfriend, he better not grab one off the table, or I'm breaking up with him. I'm professional and use them with clients, but if im going to have a boyfriend then I want the real feeling.
One thing I found out awhile ago in a long relationship I had, is that if the ph balance of both partners isn't compatible, then it can be a problem. My ex was very acidic and I was more alkaline. Our ph's were not compatible. Another thing to keep in mind. I also think that using a condom is a barrier against emotional attachment. Something happens chemically in a person when their fluids start intertwining. When condoms are used, it also helps to control emotional and heart reaction...ie falling in love

It definitely feels different, but being that it's not an option outside my personal life I believe that there are a few things that can be done to make it feel as pleasurable as possible for both parties. I believe the right kind of lubrication as well as the right brand make a huge difference. I also believe that the same holds true for condoms. Not all condoms are created equal!! I find if these two factors are addressed then it can certainly feel amazing and very similiar to sex without one, while still being safe. Win win.

Interesting.  So condoms are a barrier physically-that's the whole point-but emotionally, too. That's a really big deal, don't you think?  Question to Ms Hunter: What brands are best?

It depends on the condom. Most condoms out there are way too thick so I'm constantly on the hunt for the thinnest available. When Crown condoms was manufactured in Japan (back when it had the shiny silver packaging) these condoms felt like nothing was there. But now that they've moved production to Thailand (it now has the blue packaging), they don't feel the same at all.

I've done a lot of research and Okamoto 004,003, and 002 are thinner than Crown. They feel amazing. The only two problems with them are the price and they can be quite tight for those who are large-xl size.

It is very different.  

With a very very good condom, like and Avanti Bare or something like that it can get close.  It just still feels like I'm fucking a warm balloon.  (until I look up and see you there).
