Ok Gals - Dish:

SO, I'm standing in the "Family Planning" aisle at Savon the other day looking at the vast selection of condoms.  

-Regular - Sure
-Lubricated - Make sense.
-Extra Large - OK. I get those ... well I don't GET those , I mean I understand  ...  Oh never mind ...
-Sheepskin: For people allergic to Latex I guess.

But here's where I start to get onto uncertain ground -
-Ribbed - For her pleasure
-Her Pleasure - Specially designed Ridges (sounds like a potato chip add) and Knobs for her extra pleasure; and
-Ultrapleasure - the latest in rib technology with something added on the inside apparently for my pleasure too?

Question:

Do ribbed condoms really make a difference or is this another case of marketing for marketing sake (If so, how come I diidn't  get too be in the focus group?), like appealing looking and tasting dog food (I've seen what dogs eat.  Trust me.  They don't care!)?

Inquiring minds want too know.

and Oh, BTW:  

Considering the growing popularity of CBJ's, why hasn't someone come out with flavored condoms?   Maybe I'll call my patent attorney friend.  hmmmm

1) The Sheepskin condoms are worthless in any use to prevent STDs.  They do not prevent the transmission of the HIV virus (in fact they say this on the package).  It is much better to use the new polyurethane condoms, as those are great for people with allergies to latex, or want more heat transmission.

2) I tried the "For her pleasure" condoms with my SO just for fun, and she said that she noticed absolutely no difference at all.  Of course everybody is different so others might see some difference, but not in this single case.

3) They make flavored condoms.  They have mint flavored ones, and I have also seen chocolate flavored ones too.

there are lots of flavored condoms made.  the best brand i know of is Lifestyles, who to my knowledge manufactures strawberry, vanilla (!) and banana (hold the puns please). they probably make other flavors too, but i don't know what.  their non-lubricated comes with a minty powder, but i find the dry latex less than yummy when the powder wears off. i have also sampled grape, by another company whose name eludes me, which is okay because they reminded me of cough syrup. (better than nonoxynol-9 flavor, though, i assure you.)

Personally I am very sensitive. Had a guy use them once and couldh't figure out for the life of me why I was getting dry and sore so quick. When he pulled out he asked how I liked the ribbed condomns. I personally hate them, they hurt. Soon as we went back to the regular one's I was again happy camper.
On the other hand I have a lady friend who really loves them but she likes things realy rough.


To each their own,

Wonder if they make broccoli or carrot flavored ones?  Hey, I worry that the lady won't get time for a balanced meal, and good nutrition is so important these days.  Am I a nice guy or what?  Then again, persimmon would make for a better bj as it makes one's mouth pucker up. But with my luck, in my haste at the store, I'd grab the one box of anchovy flavored ones and wonder why cats were following me around.

I'm not even on the same PLANET as some here as far as experience is concerned, but in my brief time in "the hobby" the lady has always provided the covers.

1. I'm pretty sure the ladies have been interested in having a good time themselves.

2. I've yet to see a bumpy condom.

Hence the title of my post.
