Condoms

[I_Own_Charles]

You can buy a variety of kinds that enable/enhance pleasure for both parties using them.

The point in using them is to prevent pregnancy and the spread of STDs.

People around here tell me that Trojans have broken/slipped on them before, but Durex have been pretty reliable.


Please, babies deserve a home and loving parents. Families do not deserve to have their children dying from HIV/AIDS.


Fuck responsibly.

[Hanazawa]

I hear they come in party colors and flavors, too!

[Silverdragon00]

gee, i ca't imagine why this thread was created :roll:

anyway,
You have a great point. While it is true condoms have a chance of not working, it is still better to use them. There are so many teen pregnancies these days because "condoms are too uncomfortable", it is getting ridiculous. Then these babies born as accidents a lot of times don't get the attention and/or teaching of morals they need and can become nusiances to society.

[Arshes Nei]

I'm on birth control and I keep condoms.

[angieness]

I'm sexually active and I use condoms, I'm not on birth control even though I really should look into it. I've never had a problem with Trojans ripping or slipping off before. Regardless of my experiences I know condoms won't always work

[nrr]

I'd have to agree with Ms. Dana "Holier Than Thou Art" Larson up there. Fuck responsibly.

[InvaderPichu]

I don't fuck anything. :(

Maybe if I could find a decent girl I'd get on this whole fucking thing, but so far no luck.

i agree with yah on that Myr. i need to find a decent girl too. ofcourse if worse comes to worse Myr you can always count on "palmula and her five sisters" to get the job done. (lawlz)

but seriously people should be responsible about it, unless you actually want kids and are financialy stable enough to raise them.

[blackdragoon]

I don't fuck anything. :(


why not?

[Wyrwulf]

Condoms are sexy to boot.

[spree]

Condoms had to be designed with the intention of people who are curcumsized, but what about people who aren't? (like me!) :? It's like trying to put on 10 year old pants!

Why can't a guy just withdraw? The condom just blows semen all in it and gets the wang all soaked in it..once your past ejaculation the wang gets super sensitive, you don't want anyone touching it then! Plus you have to take a shower now cause semen lingers.

Condoms are a good idea, but applied poorly.

[ArrowTibbs]

Because that doesn't work generally. Bad idea.

Only if you're sterile or incapable of producing pre-ejaculate fluid (which is precisely why pulling-out doesn't work, not to mention that the majority of men can't time themselves well enough to pull out in time).

And as for wang-sensitivity, if your dick is that sensitive to its own fluid then you are screwed for when you actually DO want to reproduce (which I'm hoping isn't anytime soon). And every man I have known has never had this problem.

Should have used protection!

[Maitryx]

I'm sexually active and don't use condoms. x_x;  I was young and naive (mind you, I was still 18 ) when I first had sex, and the guy I was with didn't like the "constriction" of condoms.  I'm on birth control, so after a year and some odd months of sex with him (we're still together, not that you all wanted to know o_O) I'm not pregnant, and STD free! lol.  But that's a rare story when it comes to sex without protection.  I highly recommend everyone uses it at least until tests for their partner come back clean. o.o;  

Does that make me a hypocrit?

[blackdragoon]

damn!! you were only 10 years old Maitryx? isn't that a little to early to be having smexx??

[Damaratus]

She wasn't 10, she was 18. She just happened to finish her age statement with an 8 followed by a end parenthesis )

8 + ) = 8)

Not to mention that this would only be a sollution to one of the two major problems condoms are supposed to help resolve. Just pulling out won't necessarily prevent your partner from getting certain types of STDs.

[blackdragoon]

oh my bad. it looked like a zero cuz it was round. and if you think i know how to make smileys here in the forums aside from the shock one, then you sir are mistaken.

[Ruiner]

I am pregnant/ill as a result of being sexually active and not using a condom

Haha, having a kid is like a disease.

[Maitryx]

AH! O_O No no, not 10... lol. Yes, due in part to my lack of knowledge that 8 plus ) equaled a cool face... err-- I edited it now. Ehm. Yes. 18. Not 10. x__x;

[quark]

No condoms for me either, but I'm on the birth control patch right now. Although I tend to use condoms when I'm feeling extra super paranoid.
However, if I was the type to hop from bed to bed (which I'm not, I'm a one man kind of gal) then the condoms would be in use every time.
Also, 'fuck responsibly' is awesome. You could probably make some money with that slogan, I think.

[Arshes Nei]

True, there does need to be an option for "I use birth control and I'm sexually active"

[emptyF]

this is more information than i'm willing to divulge. . .suffice to say i'm married and not actively trying to not have children. . .but not trying real hard to have children either.

[Wakboth]

In the real world, I heartily recommend the use of condoms.

[Xan_vega]

Sexually active and no condoms for me. Trying to start a family.

[WolfeByte]

There should be a 'situational condom use' option and a 'monogamous fag, no condom needed' option too.

The sensitivity doesn't have anything to do with semen. I was trying not to say, people licking or touching it after ejaculation. The nerves become droned to feel any slight movement or manipulation which touching, licking, migitation.. etc. It doesn't feel good!

Well lucky me I am a minority of men. Also I never knew human beings had pre-ejaculation fluid. Infact I'm pretty sure they don't, well the men anyways.

:shock:

How old are you, man? Cause - no offence - you seem to continually show this naive sort of ignorance that just boggles my mind. Like... Holy Cow, you know you have to be 13 to be here, right?

Everything you ever wanted to know about sexual fluids prior to ejaculation on a site (http://usearch.cc.columbia.edu/goaskalice/query.html?col=cuweb&col=cuweb&qp=%2Bsite%3Awww.goaskalice.columbia.edu&qs=&qc=&pw=100%25&ws=0&la=&qm=0&st=1&nh=10&lk=1&rf=0&oq=&rq=0&qt=pre-cum&x=0&y=0) where all the kids go to learn stuff their education didn't have the guts to give them.

The internet is an information super-highway there, man. I guess some folks just need a few traffic signs to send them where they need to go. :)

Is there any other virgin furs out there besides myself?

Yes, I admit it. And I keep hearing "maybe you shouldn't tell people that." Well, whatever. At least I can control my hormones at 25 years of age. Saves me a lot of money on condoms, I'll tell you that much.

Condoms, though, good idea. Use them whenever possible. Nothing worse in life than an "oops" baby. And I should know: I have two dead nephews due to "oops" babies.

And anyway, I'm sure some people who said they aren't sexually active doesn't mean they're virgins. Just not currently active. Who knows what they were like in their college days?

Haha I actually respect people more when they wait for that special someone. Don't have to be married to them, just, you know...figure that they're that special person in your life that you adore more than anyone else. It makes me incredibly happy to know that there are still people out there who are like that. I figured that everyone now a days just hops into bed straight away with anything and everything. It's a good thing to realize that I'm wrong...well, at least about this topic, anyway.

To answer your questions:

There's ways to deal with being uncut and condom use. I was with an uncut guy for 2 years, and we never had any issue. And he was nicely hung, I might add.
I don't want to get into the technical thing, but purrhaps you should find a how-to forum or something? Not to be funny. Seriously.


Why can't a guy just withdraw?


The pre-cum has more *signifigantly more* active sperm in it than the main ejaculation, actually. That's why a lot of folks end up pregnant this way.

The condom just blows semen all in it and gets the wang all soaked in it..once your past ejaculation the wang gets super sensitive, you don't want anyone touching it then! Plus you have to take a shower now cause semen lingers.


What's wrong with takin' a shower? And this is a good chance to save water! Shower with a friend. It's for the Earth!


Condoms are a good idea, but applied poorly.


If you want a kid, or your wang to rot and fall off, don't use a condom.

I'm still a virgin.


Ain't no shame in that game. Sometimes I wish I still were a virgin, myself.

Help prevent wang rot. Use a condom, fuck responsibly.

Nothing to be ashamed of if you're still a virgin. I'm more ashamed for losing my virginity at 14, it was a mistake and luckily nothing bad came of it but still, best to wait until you're actually ready.

[PrinceGerafeld]

It's kind of sad, I volunteer at a teen sexual health clinic, and am a strong advocate of using condoms. However, I can't stand using them myself. :( (And I'm a female; I hate the way they feel.) Normally, I use OCP and condoms until my partner has been tested for STDs, though. Even if I hate 'em, it's better than the alternative.

I'm a virgin and hung(woohoo!) and that's how I'll be the rest of my life. I was born with the curse of virgo(guess my zodiac :roll: ) I don't want to get into the prefixes. I'm just extremely desensitized. I honestly have no shame posting my data from experience but I know some people are disturbed by it. ;)

I have alot of forskin even then erect it still hides in there. Like I said, for me putting on that little rubber tube is like putting on 10 year old pants. Its a bitch.. I only tried a condom for experimental uses. I think my wang is too big XD

[Kattywampus]

So then, Mr. Big Wang, get an extra large condom. They make 'em for the more horselike folks around.

[dave hyena]

I think condoms only come in large, extra large and huge sizes to save people the societal-induced shame of having to buy a small size.

[XNexusDragonX]

Heterosexually, having a big wang never got me teh yiffzorrs. Some may agree, big is not always best. Its nice, but not great. I've been fine with using standard durex ones, well.. it was only the once. Though of course, I'm talking length here, not diameter/width. If I get furryfags asking about my assetts, I normally tell em' to pee off.. dirty buggahs.

Yeah, the whole size issue really depends on the woman. A friend of mine has been with oodles of people (over 100, and no, I'm not kidding) and for her, the bigger, the better. But for some other women, the thought of a giant penis headed their way can be a frightening thought.
There was a sex show I watched that discussed penis enlargements, breast enlargements, etc, and they basically said that having a big penis is more to benefit the man than the woman. A man with a big dong gets to swagger around and waggle his penis at everyone and brag about how well hung he is. However, most women really only require about four inches in order to be satisfied. It all depends on the moves the guy has.

Oh, and for the guy who doesn't know about precum and claims that his dick is too large for condoms, please, for the love of God, go to a sex clinic and learn about sex before you actually have it.

I'd use birth control but I don't have enough money to pay as much as they charge for them each month. He pulls out before he ejaculates, I wash after, never have gone without a condom, only have sex about a week after my menstrual cycle. *shrug* The free, cautious ways, basically.

[Maitryx]

Hurray free birth control! You can get them for free in Wisconsin too, from the "Planned Parenthood Program". Which was great until I moved to Arizona. x_x; I flew back to WI for my mom's wedding though and got another 6 month supply. ^^ I'm good til Christmas!

Uhh...what? Purely on a sexual level here, I'd rather be with a guy with smaller packaging, but who has some sweet moves and is a very attentive lover, and who cares about getting me off, than a guy with a huge dong who has no clue what he's doing.
You may not want to believe this, but some women can't get off from penetration alone. It takes more to have good sex than just a big cock.

I am going to try my best to be nice about this.

Withdrawing doesn't work.
Most of the time, you probably don't want to be thinking, "Oh, damn, I'm gonna nut..." and having to remember to pull out.

Plus, think about this:
You're with a girl who claims to have never slept with anyone.
However, the rest of the world knows she's fucked five guys in the past month. Each of those guys has been with two other girls who have been with five other guys. This chain iterates itself seven times.
Do you want to imagine how many people you've slept with in that situation, by proxy? Do you really wanna go into Nasty Nineteenths territory without über Disease AC that a condom can provide?

And, finally, if the condom doesn't fit, get a bigger one. Yes, they do come in various sizes.

In short: No excuses. Rubber up, Rub 'er down.

If a guy is wearing a condom he can ejaculate while still *in* a girl, you don't need to take that many precautions, here, especially if you're mindful of your cycle as you are.

Some clinics offer BC for free (like mine!), so check that out if you can.

Birth control pills can be used to regulate the menstrual cycle, reduce acne, or otherwise maintain certain hormone levels. It's not always used as a contraceptive.

Not really, birth control also helps regulates a woman's cycle. The other reason is, just because you're a lesbian doesn't mean you can't get raped. :/

Sad we have to think of that precaution now... (I mean women regardling rape), with the laws about abortion being chipped away and even getting after the morning after pill, which doesn't even terminate a fertilized egg it just prevents the process from even starting, the only other choice is to have hormonal birth control...and even that is being debated.

I hate condoms =( But non-pregnacy and anti-STDS rule.

So eh.

[Captain Oz]

Stick with gay, no worries of pregnancy, and don't sleep with 100,000 men and less worries about STDs. Thats my way of going at it, and I'm still clean and the only condoms I've ever had I got free at the end of concerts.

Yes, because I hate babies having babies.

Color me strange, but I don't think people should be legally allowed to have children before the age of 21.

(Of course, when you throw the rape cases in, offer the freedom of choice to the mother. Some mothers will keep the child anyway, be it for religious reasons, or otherwise.)

I cannot believe you said this. I'm not sure whether I'm creeped out, or about to laugh so hard, I squirt milk from my nose.
I'm not drinking milk.

Sure, a guy stuffing sausage into the chitterlings of another guy is an effective form of birth control, but, nigra plx, so are condoms, vasectomies, castrations, and Bob Dole.

Oh well.

The Morning After Pill was just recently approved by the FDA for over the counter sale to women over 18. I think that's a big step in the right direction for birth control rights.

I'm so cautious I put a condom on my strap-on most of the time.

I'm actually fully aware of that, but the new strategy from opponents of this is to now attack companies or agencies that would stock the drug.

Good example is how Walmart took a stance. Organizations that have an agenda and don't want the drug around start making noise and attacking a company or store that has a pharmacy to get them to stop stocking the drug. So even if it is ok to get it OTC, you also have to get companies to stock it.

Very true. I was just regarding the FDA's decision as a positive step, however.

I knew the backlash by GodMart and others would happen, as there's even a lot of pharmacies out there that won't even give birth control pills to women who were prescribed them due to religious agenda. *coughCatholicismcough*

It's so easy to say that there are other options, like going to Walgreens instead... but I know that comment would be met with "but some people caaaaaaan't" or something.

[Arshes Nei]

Thank God for Planned Parenthood over in CA. (haa haa I know "GOD")

I mean you can get it for free if you don't have a health care provider, and even if you do, you can always go into their office and just simply ask for condoms, they have no problem giving them out.

>_>

Uhhh I just read the whole thread...laughing and twitching.

there are some things well for me I am a highly sexual person but I don't jump from bed to bed. I stick with one person and then i won't have sex for a while until i get to know someone. THEN i unleash the beast. but I guess I can go through some of the things in one solid post.

1. pre has more semen. I KNOW THIS
2. some guys can't actually pre (my current boyfriend barely pre's as it is.)
3. uncircumsized or not, the pull out technique is not gonna help cause of the pre. (unless you find it kinky to cum on someone's stomach then ok I guess >_>;;; )
4. Even with birthcontrol nothing is guarenteed. I got on BC after having rather unpleasent things happen to me twice AND after having 3 miscarriages. OI!
5. Size doesn't matter but if your like me and can not hurt off of 6inches being in ya than ok then it does. But I have had gigantic monsters and trust crawling away from them is not adivsed. >_>;;;
6. sensitivity- after going back on birthcontrol and not using condoms you kinda do get a bit sensitive but give it time.
7. If you want to have the safest sex DO NOT HAVE SEX AT ALL! sometimes I wish I was still a virgin but alas my hormones got the best of me ^_^;;

and as my favorite quote goes " If you're going to hump, please wrap your junk!"

Fuck 21. People shouldn't be having babies until they're financially set (a.k.a. have money to support the child) and the government knows you can provide well for your child. And no, this does not include the people who live with their parents and call themself having money. *looks around at some people >>* This is for people who are responsible, can take care of themself, have a decent paying job in which they can support themself and the baby.

[Ultraviolet]

1. I waited till I was married to have sex. (of course I am long seperated now, thats beside the point)

2. I've always used condoms.

3. Wouldnt ever sleep with anyone unless Im in love them.

4. Have been attacted for drawing one image with characters using condoms, because appearently its unsexy and drawings dont need condoms *rolls eyes*

Done now ^-^

[cesarin]

agree on #4, hilareius shit.
some guy who was fan of my art once said the same "OMG, I SO HATE CONDOMS, THEY RUIN THE PICTURE, DONT DRAW ANYMORE OF THEM" when I posted a looong old picture of a dragon holding 2 condoms (while doing BJ's to 2 random furs )

[Kattywampus]

That's messed up. I always wondered why more people don't draw their characters using condoms. Maybe people wouldn't be so standoffish about using condoms if they actually showed up regularly in their porn.
Bonus points for Cesarin and Ultraviolet for drawing condoms!

[InvaderPichu]

Not that I'll complain too much if I see condoms in artwork, but in fantasy there are no worries about pregnancy or STDs, so condoms aren't necessary.

Quoted for truth.

It's like 2 the Ranting Gryphon once said about Safe Sex. Drawing furries with condoms sort of ruins the fantasy, implying that these horrible things exist in the wonderful world we've thought up for outselves. And hell, part of the allure of having such fantasy sex is the guarantee that unless you want it, you won't get any pregnancies, and that no STDs exist.

...But yeah, drawing furries using condoms might also put off the stigma AGAINST them.

Remember, kiddies, wear a rubber, save yourself a LOT of grief. =D

Someone, somewhere, has a condom fetish, and wishes that more people would draw them.

Personally I think they look a little silly in porn/art, for sure, but I'm not going to complain at the person who draws them...

[Silverdragon00]

That is just ridiculous, being criticized for condoms in art. Everyone has different tastes, so no one can say that condoms "officially" belong in fantasy art

actually I like a lot with condoms, ifits well drawn, it for my tastes, adds the "kinky" effect. :P
but I what dont understand is people eager to insult or simple harrass someonejust because you drew something that sports a condom..
like the condom would melt your dick..
(or maybe they fear that these transformations with condoms that swallows the entire character comes true?, sort of nightmare? rofl.. )

[TeeGee]

Two old ladies were outside their nursing home, having a smoke when it started to rain. One of the ladies pulled out a condom, cut off the end, put it over her cigarette and continued smoking.

Lady 1: What's that?
Lady 2: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet.
Lady 1: Where did you get it?
Lady 2: You can get them at any drugstore.

The next day ... Lady 1 hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms. The guy looks at her kind of strangely (she is, after all, over 80 years of age), but politely asks what brand she prefers.

Lady 1: It doesn't matter as long as it fits a Camel.

[Ultraviolet]

Invader Pichu and Gar-Yulong- agreed, but this guy wanted a monopoly on my art so to speak. I mean , I'd never drawn condoms in my art before. He had never talked to me before and suddenly he thinks he can come in and tell me what to do or not with my art :P

Evol- I did get praise as well, mind you :)

[Arshes Nei]

Dunno, I think having condoms in fantasy art can send a good message/reminder that they're good to use.

I don't consider it a fetish so much as hey, play it safe(r)

There should be an exam for parenthood.

Well, one other than the practical.

[shy]

This post made me laugh, cringe, get a little funny in the pants...

So I think I'll make a longwinded post about it!

I often wonder about doing a census of furries and their sexual habits. I often laugh when furries tell me they don't get any. Every con I go to ever, all I see is furries getting some. I imagine the STD/VD level is quite high. My suspicions will be confirmed/denied in 10-30 years when furries start dropping like flies.

Wrap it up, kids. Wrap it up.

Anyway, I see no problem in condoms. Well I love them. I don't have much of a choice, all forms of chemical birth control turn me into a raging she-boar. Not the sexy kind either. And my God do I love having sex like all the time. I do not forsee ever not having sex, I don't care how old I get. But condoms come in different styles, colors, lubricants ["Mint Tingle" is my favorite by far] and even shapes. Shapes! Who'd have thunk it. You can make them fun. And I recommend Durex [they're cheaper]. It's much easier to masturbate a man with a condom on, cleaner if you care about clean-up [especially after intercourse]. They're fun to use with a vibrator on a man [whether inserted anally or applied directly to the penis w/ a condom on]. Teeth applied directly to a penis tends to hurt but overtop a condom the sensation is a bit different for some. Enjoyable for some. Condoms also have quite a few bondage uses.

I think most of the stigma of using condoms is not because of the condom itself, but more because people are so programmed to think that all sex is, is "Insert Tab A into Slot B. Push. Done!" You get worked up, you shag, you cum, goodnight baby. While that is in fact sex, it's sexual intercourse, it should never be all there is to a sexual experience [and the reason why many women feel jilted in their sexual endeavors: another topic completely]. Anyway, how absolutely boring. Many sexual experiences are had with no penetration at all, but when they are, slow down for a moment and put on a condom.

Have fun with it. Make it a part of the experience. It is pretty selfish of men not to, and pretty ignorant of women as well. While not all men experience a large amount of pre-cum it does happen and there is sperm in that ejaculation and it will fertalize an egg. Cum itself, obviously, does it's thing. And no, chemical birth control is not enough if you are engaging with multiple partners. When having penetrative sex of any sort [oral, anal, vaginal] an amount of friction occurs. Abrasions to the skin, whether you feel them or not, are like little doors to your blood stream. Blood is where the HIV [and their cousins] go. 1+1= If you are having sex without a condom and your partner is carrying some kind of nasty, there is much more likely that you will contract a disease from them.

Aaaand if you are one of those who are allergic to latex, they make them in other materials. If you just can't handle the condom there are sponges, spermicides, female condoms and other insertables. Just take a look at the sexual health section at your local grocer. All those other boxes aren't for show. Unfortunately after that you are more or less on your own... Getting your tubes tied in this country is more difficult than most would imagine. A lot of doctors just won't do it until you've had children and can otherwise prove you can't/don't want to have more.

Vasectomies on the other hand are much easier for men to obtain [usually through your local Planned Parenthood clinic] and are reversable [for some]. They are not bad for you- Sperm is still created inside of you and that which is left unused is absorbed back into your body. You do still ejaculate. There is just no sperm in the fluid.

Anyway... Safe sex! It's great. Have some. Have seconds!

[XNexusDragonX]

Thanks Shy. I wont quote you, as it'll take up half a page. Hehe. Anyway.. Thats pretty much how I feel. I enjoy interactions, I'm always active, though I choose not too.. it just causes hassle generally. Though theres a big variety of products out there avaliable in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Whether people have had bad experiences in the past, its only polite to use protection. Not that I would, but if I were with anyone other than my partner.. hygiene comes first. As you can imagine, everyone has their own levels of personal hygiene when it comes to self-appearance, mine are rather high. I sometimes carry over the idea of protection to my Fursona and characters.

[shy]

Yep. I find condoms on furry porn pretty sexy. I don't think the "realism" kills the buzz at all. Anymore or less than a condom on a video porn star. I just find it fun. Furry is a mixed bag but it's all fantasy. Fantasy is built on our reality. Even the most wild dream is based on something we percieved, as warped as it might be. And we've all seen the weird sort of fantasies "people like us" diddle ourselves every night over.

So, even if it's too far out, you don't like it, don't deny it:
Some people dig the condom.

[darkfoxx]

Fun thread ^.^

A warning tho: I see a lot of people mentioning the fun condoms, glow in the dark, ribbed, or whatever... But be warned!!

Usually these are just that, fun items, and help NOTHING in preventing pregnancies or STDs! So if using them, carefully read the box, and wear a normal condom along with it if needed.

Also, never rely on just one failsafe system: use condoms in combination with sperm killing lubricants, and chemical birth control, and more if possible.
NASA has *every* system aboard the Space Shuttle in threefold, in the case of failure of the first and even the second... and even there, sometimes things go very wrong.

(To the person mentioning withdrawing before ejaculation: pre has a higher spermcount then semen even in some cases... great way to get someone pregnant.)

Indeed, its just a novelty thing. Having not had much interaction with females, I'd always assume the use of protection, its just common sense. Any interaction would be declined otherwise.

[darkfoxx]

Assuming protection is used by the other party however, is not so much common sense. Birth control pills can be forgotten, pessariums can fail. And neither help against STD's...

The ony time not using a condom is common sense, is if you're absolutely monogamous, both partners were tested for any STD imaginable, and in the case of a heterosexual couple, if they're both certain a little bundle of joy would be a great addition to the family.

If any else, better to be safe then sorry!

I actually don't recommend this. Since prophylactics are a little fragile, it's generally not a wise idea to double up on them unless you want one of them breaking.

I'd only stop using condoms after being with a guy for 6 months.

[dendora]

Ick, I really hate condoms, but I still use 'em. Birth control made me go a little cluck cluck and I lost my sex drive totally (ironic) so now they're kinda crucial.
Don't use the with-drawal method either, take it from me, it doesn't work!

[Arshes Nei]

Though it's racial it's a good example why condoms are a good backup.

Many Black women are now infected STDs and HIV at an alarming rate. The thing is that some of this is racial because Black women are told to stay within the bounds of their own ethnicity, and there is a very bad rate of Black men going to jail and contracting the diseases and transmitting them to their partners.

It's a really good article not just because of race, but I think class has a lot to do with people's stereotypes of birth control.

Used condoms before I got on the pill. Do not use them now because I'm strict about taking my birth control and I've been with the same partner for over 3 years now (and same with him) so I'm not at risk for any STDs.

But to have sex without a condom when you're not 100% certain your partner is STD-free, or to have sex without a condom if you are (or your partner is if you are male and she is female) not on some sort of birth control when you don't want children, is moronic in my opinion. Everyone says, "Oh, one time won't hurt, it won't happen to me." And sure, often it won't, but often it will as well. Why take the risk?

Well that's the point even if you're in a monogamous relationship too. It doesn't matter if you've been with the same partner for 3 years, it only takes one slipup to get an STD from that partner. You can never be 100% sure that your partner is faithful either.

When I was just solely on birth control, I was also regularly checked up for any STDs as well. I could love my partner to death, but there is never 100% certainty your partner is STD free just because you're with them for a long time. It's just an assumption with faith and trust.

When I was just solely on birth control, I was also regularly checked up for any STDs as well. I could love my partner to death, but there is never 100% certainty your partner is STD free just because you're with them for a long time. It's just an assumption with faith and trust.


Haha I have faith and trust that if my partner cheats on me that he'll use a condom, so that when I find out about his wanderin', it won't be the syphilis that kills him, it'll be my unholy wrath.

[eulalea]

I'm on birth control, and I have condoms for days when it's not safe to fuck without them.

I'm EXTREMELY monogamous, and so is my partner, and we're both sure that we're clean of diseases.

He also pulls out.

[eulalea]

Color me strange, but I don't think people should be legally allowed to have children before the age of 21.



Fuck 21. People shouldn't be having babies until they're financially set (a.k.a. have money to support the child) and the government knows you can provide well for your child. And no, this does not include the people who live with their parents and call themself having money. *looks around at some people >>* This is for people who are responsible, can take care of themself, have a decent paying job in which they can support themself and the baby.


You do realize the human race would become extinct then, right?

.....And that's...A bad thing? xD lol haha, jk.

Aieee! D: Hey wait... Pokepoke? With what?

Er, anyhow, I dont mind condoms... But in my Furry Porn? Meh, id rather not, simply because porn should be arousing, and condoms arent to me. But condoms ARE essential if you want to have sex, hetrosexually, and dont want pregnancy. And, EVEN THEN, theyre not 100% reliable. For non-hetrosexual sex, theyre just for hygiene I guess - Never a bad thing, but not essential. Hell, I prefer NOT to use them IF I can get away with it (IE, homosexual sex)! ^..^

Oh, and those who complain about condoms not fitting? Trust me, there are some that will. I had that problem, until I suppressed my ego enough to go and ask at a pharmacy (drug store) for some larger ones. They had plenty of sizes and, yes, some that fit even the larger gentleman. Note to those who are well hung: Youre nothing special really. My feet are big too, but I dont brag about those! ^..~

Someone, somewhere, has a condom fetish, and wishes that more people would draw them.

Personally I think they look a little silly in porn/art, for sure, but I'm not going to complain at the person who draws them...

So, yeah... a little fetish for condoms in pictures... never hurts.

There should be an exam for parenthood.
Well, one other than the practical.
There's other things that need exams while we're at it... :)


I also recommend cleaning up after yourself too. I heard a very bad con story where someone disrespected a room that they didn't even pay for.
And yet another reason I won't go to a furry convention.

XD. I dont use condoms, but when i do get the chance to fuck im gonna do it responcibly. Whomever im doing it must show me proof from a doctor that they are clean/got tested recently. I in return must show them the same thing. Im gay though, and id only yiff with very close friends at most. Though, id much rather save the experience for when i truely meet someone special.

So far they're only available in Africa much to my dismay. Something tells me it won't be long before other countries start catching on. Come on Trojan, we're counting on you!

[Rave]

Statistics have shown that less well educated and more impoverished communities tend to have higher disease rates by far as well as more unwanted pregnancies. A relatively low level of condom use is probably connected with this. It's true that stats can be fudged to fit the politics of a researcher, but in this case, the stat differences between the groups studied were so extreme as to be hard to dispute.

Condoms are NOT an absolutely safe protection against anything though. But it's a hell of a lot better than nothing, and realities like the one I just referenced at the beginning of my post here imply that condoms make for less disease in a community in comparison to the alternative.

I don't like condoms in fantasy drawings, but I think people would do well to use condoms in real life.

[tigermist]

Well the whole size issue...in m/m sex bigger deffinantly might seem fun but eh ever tried shoving a cucumber through a bottle opening XD. As far as any sex goes wear a damn condom the last thing we need are more kids having kids. I walked through my old high school and saw no less than three current students pushing strollers. Not to mention disease, you'll be thankfull when later on in life you still have a fully funstional sexual organ. Getting the ciph and dying a slowly agonizing death by cock rot isn't somehting I have on my list of things to do in life. Thats why its before we shimmy cover the jimmy.

p.s. the genius with who opted for the pull out method and who didnt knot what pre-ejaculatory fluid is... you may want to do a lil research before you try to fabricate a post.

[Ahkahna]

You can buy a variety of kinds that enable/enhance pleasure for both parties using them.

The point in using them is to prevent pregnancy and the spread of STDs.

People around here tell me that Trojans have broken/slipped on them before, but Durex have been pretty reliable.


Please, babies deserve a home and loving parents. Families do not deserve to have their children dying from HIV/AIDS.


Fuck responsibly.



A friend of mine said the following:

"I cannot use a condom named after a wooden horse filled with little men who later snuck out of said horse and slaughtered the people within."

I just thought it was worth sharing XD

It's why I use anything but Troian condoms.

[Ulfhednar]

[mild rant] damn. I can't believe how any people don't like them, especially the number of females. Even when my girlfriend said she was going on birth control, the first words out of my mouth were that I was still going to use a condom. Simply because I don't want a kid right now, I'm not even out of highschool yet. That would really fuck things up. Now in about a decade if my partner and I are financially stable enough, I would love to have a kid, but untill then, I'll be damned.

As for "constriction". Bullshit. if you feel constricted, but a bigger size.

As for speading stds, I'd say make sure your partner is clean before hand anyway, but I'm one to damn a person for sleeping around anyway. [/end rant]

oddly enough I found this thread not long after me and my gf talked about this kind of thing.

It's not so bad if a girl on hormonal birth control chooses to skip the condoms, imho. As long as it's within a loving, loyal relationship, that is strictly exclusive, I don't see a problem with it. Hormonal birth control is actually more effective than condoms, if used right.
However, I gotta say kudos to you for sticking with the condoms on top of the birth control, because aside from having no sex at all, that is probably the best way to keep from making babies. Plus, you've got the added bonus of cutting down on the chance of getting STDs.

[I_Own_Charles]

Pretty much any walk-in clinic offers STD testing of various types. Depending on the clinic, I wager you can get tested for free or for a small fee (I'd assume no more than $50, but more likely $10-$20...getting tested is a thing your government WANTS you to do, so I don't think they'd deter people from it by overcharging!). My clinic does testing for free but that's because my tuition helps fund it. I'm 99% sure you can get HIV/AIDS tested for free pretty much anywhere.

Just google it, I'm sure you'll find the answers you need.

If you're american:

http://www.cdcnpin.org/scripts/index.asp
http://www.hivtest.org/

Sites ran by the US CDC, will apparently let you search for HIV testing by zip code, specifying a search for free testing locations and everything.

And I'd find a similar site for Canada, but every major city in Canada has clinics that will do STD tests free and anonamously, or any doctor can refer you to the nearest hospital - even in rural areas - where you can get tested for free as well.

[InvaderPichu]

I believe a full sexual health check would be a bit more than just STD testing.

But I've had neither, so I'm not entirely sure.

[Defiler Wyrm]

In this day and age, with some 6.4 BILLIONS humans crawling all over this poor little rock like fleas on a crippled dog's back, with untold millions of already-spawned children in need of good homes, there is NO legitimate reason for anyone to breed anymore. End of story. Every lame-ass excuse I've ever heard always boils down to the parents being a] lazy, irresponsible brats, b] unconscionably selfish, or c] both.

A safe-playing fur is a smart-playing fur! :3

But yes, I use condoms before I hump. And Durex has been my reliable brand, and I completely trust them. Plus they have all sorts of nifty stuff that can make sex even more exciting! Fweee. :3 Meanwhile, Trojan has been known for breaking/slipping during sex, and I wouldn't recommend using said brand, but yeah, you know, everyone has their own choices of the brand they want to use...

Although I've seen glow-in-the-dark condoms at a sex store somewhere on Davie Street in Vancouver, I kid you not. If only Durex had that... that's so totally cool. XD

And there's a store in Indonesia that sells... and I'm not lying... DURIAN flavored condoms. Ewwww! As if the fruit doesn't smell nasty enough already, now they gotta make it into a condom? What kind of sick, twisted person would make that? And a local fur (who won't be named) recently purchased them. Which means doom for the Vancouver Area furs in the Lower Mainland.

Anyway, enough of my constant rambling... yes, I use condoms, yes, I play safe so I play smart and responsibly.

And so should you, fuzzies! ;) Even if you're tested, it's always wise to play safe just to make sure. Better safe than sorry, I always say...

There's a local hospital in Port Coquitlam (Elgin Medical Clinic) I go to whenever I have an appointment to see my family doctor, and they happen to do blood tests for free, as far as I know.

There may be hospitals somewhere in Canada that do the same thing, but at a price, and I haven't found one yet. Probably Vancouver.

For the furs out there who are virgins and are not ashamed, I fully respect you, as you are saving your virginity until that special certain time, and when you choose to lose your virginity is of your own time and nobody else's.

If anyone out there who is a virgin and is ashamed of it, don't, because there's absolutely no shame in being a virgin, unless, of course, you're totally desperate and want sex right away. To which I say, wait for the right time, and then you can do what you want. It's your body.

Myself, however, there is not a single hint of virginity left in this body of mine, and I really do miss my virginity. Oh well, such as life, I suppose.

Maybe it's just the area where I live (lol Florida), but I've always been told that doctors will not usually preform that type of surgery on younger people. It has something to do with wanting to make sure the individual really doesn't want kids or something.

[I_Own_Charles]

Sometimes they can 'untie' the tubes and get your system to start working again. But they recommend an IUD first.

I was thinking of getting one since my body doesn't seem to be too happy about hormonal therapy. :-/ Though I hear bodies in general don't like IUDs either.

Naw, I'm pretty sure they're gonna give us shit about it here in Texas, too. It horks me off to think that they'd deny people such a wonderful and socially-necessary procedure on the off chance that someone decides later that they DO want to be a selfish twit.

Though I hear bodies in general don't like IUDs either.
Not really, no. If I remember correctly there's an unnerving failure/rejection/complication rate with those. Surface piercings are tricky enough — imagine how uppity your body would get over having a piece of chemical-laden metal stuffed up into a mucus membrane-lined organ that sheds regularly.

Though it's racial it's a good example why condoms are a good backup.

Many Black women are now infected STDs and HIV at an alarming rate. The thing is that some of this is racial because Black women are told to stay within the bounds of their own ethnicity, and there is a very bad rate of Black men going to jail and contracting the diseases and transmitting them to their partners.

Oh and I don't use condoms but I would if i was sexually active with men. They don't really make condoms for women's fingers o.O. They have dental dams for cunnilingus though, but if you know you're partner is safe this really isn't necessary. I didn't start having sex until i was 20. I refused to entertain the idea of sex until i was mentally ready for the idea of maybe having to support a child or dealing with std's.

And yes as this thread stresses STD's std's std's pregnancy many see as they can just have an abortion but there is no cure for AIDs.

That's awfully young. I'm surprised the doctors gave it to you, because usually they won't give it to someone so young, just in case the patient changes their mind about baby making in the future.
I've heard stories about doctors refusing young women certain birth controls, just because some of the hormonal methods will screw around with her system so that she'll have difficulty conceiving, should she ever change her mind and want children in the future.

[kontonno]

I see a world plagued by ignorance. Emphasis on such things might seem like the moral thing to do. Of course, sometimes it's letting people learn the hard way that educates best.

Condoms... they're inexpensive, quite effective and easy to get a hold of. Anyone who doesn't use them is simply asking for it. How can I have pity on someone who brings such things upon themselves?

[Get-dancing]

I think that's one of those sayings like God says share which he kind never really does. It was a blessing when the Bible was written and there weren't billions of people on the Earth. And don't start saying things from the Bible, the Bible also says that you can sell your daughter into slavery and if she tries to come back to punish her and send her back to her Master. Yeah boy the Bible surely teaches babies are a gift...if they're male.

The old testament does, afaik. It kind of lost it's credibility after Jesus casued the new one to be written. As it happens, there's a whole lot of good, smart stuff written in that second part of Fax from God.

Using a condom is not showing disrespect to God, however - at least not to the christian God. God did supposedly told us to venture into the world and reproduce - and we did. Today, we settle down, so we don't need to reproduce, either. [edit: At least not at the rate of &($( rabbits, for earth's sake!]

God did not "invent" sex just for mindless reproduction. It's like saying He gave us knees just so that we can kneel down and pray. Something close to 100% of our organs have multiple functions. There is a reasoning to this ( unless, of course, You don't belive in God [which is fine by me, by the way] - then, the Term would be practical function or something ) , and I see no reason why we should neglect the fun aspect of sex. If God didn't want us to have fun, he wouldn't have given us erogene zones. Plain and simple. He did, however, bless us with a free will, so that we can decide betweed good and evil. And, as someone already stated, bearing child after child into the world with the knowledge You can't provide a decent future for them is a far greater sin than using a condom. You are not detroying life by preventing it to come to existance. If that would be so, being single would be the greatest sin, and we'd have to fuck like cra
