After seeing row upon row of “her pleasure” condoms at the pharmacy, I wondered if there were any “his and his” condoms on the market–and if so, are they actually designed differently than “his and hers” condoms, or is it pure marketing schtick. Anyone in the know who can help me out?
My WAG is that they’re the same thing. A “her pleasure” condom has extra bumps or ridges or whatever on the outside, to enhance a woman’s experience. Wouldn’t the same condoms enhance a same-sex bottom’s experience?
I used to volunteer at a needle-exchange program on Hotel Street in downtown Honolulu. We also gave out free condoms including some extra-strength ones that were specially made for anal sex. So yes, they are made differently.
Fun fact: Receptive (marketed as “vaginal”) condoms can be used anally as well. There’s a flexible ring inside that holds it in place in the vagina; remove this and it works for penile-anal sex as well.
I have butt sex with my boyfriend. We use regular condoms. You just have to know how to use them… and lube it up. Never ripped one in my life. As far as I know… you really can’t feel the bumps in the condom when you are not actually… wearing it. I think that harder bumps could be a hazard as well.
They could call them… “Gaynal” condoms.
Sorry, but the thread title just made my mind create* that word, and now I generously share it with you!

Okay, LMGTFY. Strictly in the name of fighting iggorance, of course!
Result: Yeah, that word’s out there.
