Post below prompted me to ask how many gents & ladies are allergic to latex ? If you are what do you prefer to use as a replacement for latex ?

I know it does bother me after a while .

I hate using anything with  spermicide on it ..
That stuff tastes nasty !!!

Layla  the curious one !

yea, i get a rash on my cock and its itchy. First time with a provider I thought I had an STD but tests showed nothing. Then I was told i might be allergic to latex. It isnt a big deal just annoying.
What do I prefer instead......hell, certainly not STDs so I will suffer

By Trojan that is good but they do not stretch as much as the latex....i'm not allergic per se, but latex makes me itchy!

Dear Zayzha:
Perhaps you should go to condomania online. They would have polyurethane condoms and would be able to persue further questions with you such as brands. PS I was wondering would you have a dermatological reaction to latex with you respect to material?

For your itchiness, try using a silicon lube inside the condom (just a bit! A little goes a long way).

You can buy Beyond Sevens at most condom websites; I like www.condomdepot.com, good place, discrete packaging, woman-owned (you go, girl!). Beyond Sevens are extremely thin. They tend to fit a bit snug, however.

Have fun!

Dang, I thought this was about women that like to wear latex

First, to the person who said he's not allergic, he just itches, that's an allergic reaction, albeit a mild one. Keep in mind that allergies can get worse with continued exposure. I, too, had a mild dermatitis as my only response to latex until, one day, at the dentist office, my gums began to swell significantly on being touched by a latex glove.

All medical offices now have non-latex gloves available, either universally or merely for the asking. Ask.

As to condoms, you have two choices of which I'm aware. One, already mentioned, is polyurethane. Trojans Supra, for example. I, too, find these quite snug and frankly difficult to roll down the shaft.

The other option, not mentioned yet, is Lamb's skin. I really don't have much experience with these. Some say they feel great. What I note is they are very expensive, about twice the cost of the polyurethrane option.

Are these still available? I used to use lambskin condoms back in the 70's. I thought that they were pulled in the 80's with the advent of HIV, as they were thought to be an ineffective barrier to viruses. I used to use them with my SO as birth control only. I seem to recall even back then that there were warnings about these for use other than as a pure contraceptive. Have they been re-engineered in the intevening decades? If not, I don't see how they would be a viable alternative for the allergic hobbiest.
