I am well past my condom buying days being safely married, but I always wonder about those machines in the toilets with those many styles of condoms
(i) whos pleasure are the ribbed condoms for - the man or or the womans?
(ii) do they work or just a marketing con
as you can tell I am pretty naive bout sex, but hey, the information may come in useful again some day
From what I know, the ribs are generally “for her pleasure”, and I’ve only been told they feel “weird”. I guess wether it works or not is a personal preference.
Actually im selfish…i wear them inside out for MY pleasure!
poppachubby, George Carlin called…and he is pissed!
Never used the ones from the machines, but the regular “for her pleasure” drugstore ones do absolutely nothing extra-special for me. Nothing. Nada. Zip.
I’d call it marketing BS, for the most part, but I’m sure there are some women who go nuts for the things.
I’ve used the Trojan ribbed ones a few times - during the act, they really don’t feel much different from my perspective than unribbed.
I bought a ribbed condom from a bar bathroom machine once. It had a name like “Savage Bliss” or something. The “ribs” were more pronounced than those on a Trojan, and they were segmented, rather than being rings all the way around the condom.
I tried it out with my then-girlfriend. The effect was, um, dramatic. I thought she was going to smash the passenger side door open with her head. She liked it. Very much. Demanded I get more of them. Of course, she was naturally very sensitive to sexual stimulation anyway, but her reaction to these condoms was far and above her normal response.
I’ve never gotten anything from those, either. Maybe the placebo effect works on some people.
actually the best ones i’ve tried were polyurethane,not latex.EXELLENT sensantion transfer…
Do fundamentalists believe that a condom for men has one less rib than a condom for women? 
tx for the replies. I guess they might work for some women, though the informal survey here suggests not for the majority
Why on Earth would they market a condom asa Trojan?
What the fuck is inside it? :eek:
oh don’t worry, it’s just a little prick.
There’s a tradition in parts of Indonesia of implanting pebbles under the skin of the penis, so you never have to go without ribs. :eek:
For its manly associations: the Trojans were mighty warriors. Read The Iliad.
