The Subject heading pretty much says it all. I’ve only had experience with your basic run of the mill condom, but I always see and hear adds for different type, flavors, etc.
What I would like to know is: what type/brand of condom is the best? Or what would you recommend?
There was a thread just a few days ago on this topic. here is the link.
Welcome to the board, BTW. And just a suggestion that this topic would be better suited to IMHO.
[Moderator Hat: ON]
The other thread was in IMHO, which is where this one belongs. I’m moving it over there. If people want it to live, it will. Otherwise, it will sink to the bottom in obscurity. I leave it in the hands of the Teeming Millions.

Thanx guys. As you can see I’m kinda new to the boards. I guess I should’ve performed a search for similar posts first. Will do in the future.
Since you’re new, please allow me to make another suggestion: Don’t have a sig that’s longer than the rest of your message. Pick one line for the sig and use that one.
(HARUMPH! Uh, lookit my sig.)
Go for the industrial grade, glow in the dark, plaid, with rubber spikes type.
No, seriously. The ribbed type is mainly all talk because the ribs are too soft. Glow in the dark is fun - you ‘charge’ it up first with a bright light or do ‘it’ under black light - but most makers warn you that it is not disease preventative, so use it with someone you know real well, or over another rubber. It is OK for birth control. The others are mainly for visual fun.
Always select a good latex condom, preferably one with a spermacide like nonoxynol-9 (sp?) or use a good spermacide jell with it to help prevent AIDS.
Natural condoms, made out of something like pig intestines, do not stop any disease at all, though they are effective birth control. Natural condoms have natural pores in them.
Heck, buy a party pack of rainbow colors and have fun!
I prefer the Emperor’s New Condoms.
