I just got divorced, so I haven’t needed a condom for 25 years (vasectomy, aids tested, monogamous). I’m hoping to get back in the game and I have no clue about what to get. Lubed? Flavored? Glow-in-the dark? I’m clueless, any suggestions? I’d especially like to hear from folks on the receiving end. 
A vasectomy would rule out the need for condoms, no?
Not if you don’t want to get the itchy-burnies.
You need condoms. Lubed Trojans, perhaps. Anything more exotic than that coming at me ( ribbed, flavored, etc.) should be discussed with your partner as to preference.
Personally I recommend the bright-green Trojans. They’re called Twisted Pleasure. Of course, YMM(and probably will)V.
I’m not big AT ALL - average on a good day. But I recommend Trojan Magnum - they are much more comfortable. I have real trouble with other condoms.

THIS.
Condoms were originally used for disease prevention, and still are today. Gay men use condoms…why do you think that is?
Maybe, now that they’re starting to get married, gay men will start getting pregnant, and they don’t want to have kids yet?
:eek:
Note to self, pick up condoms on my way home. 3 boxes.
Double-up to be sure. 
Yes, the Twisted Pleasures are nice. I recommend them heartily, from the male standpoint.
When it comes to condoms, I’ve never heard much commentary either way from the (female) receiving end, unless they’re allergic to latex, or aren’t allergic to latex but accidentally bought polyurethane condoms (ouch). Studded, twisted, ribbed (for his or her pleasure)… not that different when you get past the first 2-3 inches of the vagina.
I recommend Durex. When I worked at Condoms to Go we used to get a lot of information about the different brands and Trojan had a much higher breakage rate than Durex or Lifestyle. The Durex extra sensitive or Durex For Her Pleasure are the kinds that I have in my dresser drawer right now (I’m a chick, FWIW.)
Durex featherlite - they’re really thin and it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing a raincoat on your dick. I’ve always used them and I’ve never had a condom break on me yet.
Second this. IME Trojan has lived up to its unfortunate namesake.
Oh, and just because they usually don’t make much of a difference doesn’t mean you shouldn’t buy ‘For Her Pleasure’ condoms just for the bonus points!
IME they make a noticable difference, of course YMMV. It can’t be just ribbed or just studded though, they must be the Durex ones that have both ribs and studs.
Durex ALL the way. I couldn’t feel anything through Trojans, on the rare occasions when I used them.
Chicks dig 'em, that’s for sure.
I find them to be on the thick side.
Personally, I’m a fan of Beyond Seven (all varieties) and strangely enough, really like the cheap ass ones they give away free if you buy at Condomania.com. (much like the free ones at Mardi Gras or student health centers).
