It's possible she did. Once you know what you're looking for, all you need is a thermometer, your fingers and a chart to keep track of things.

They didn't. They got pregnant and they aborted or they had the child, often dying in childbirth.

But I always found comments like this odd. These things can stretch to fit over your head...how can it be too small for a dick?

paintedlady said:

So how do you know if you are allergic to latex? Did your cooch swell up when you used a condom, or what?!

DexMSR said:

Yeah, but it's a lot of brothas walking around thinking they NEED a Magnum when a Lifestyle will do them just fine. (Present company excluded, I'm sure )

KidaDynamite said:

No, fool! I'm allergic too and latex usually leads to yeast or bacterial infections. That's why it's very important to keep your vaginal pH in check after you have sex or your period. I take acidophilus regularly and I've drastically reduced latex-related issues. Also, that new rePhresh gel is the bomb.

Oh, and condoms are a must. I've lost too many friends to AIDS to even have a debate about IF a dude is using one or not. It's an easy choice for me.

Fucking hell


God, SCNDLS, the science. "Acidophilus??" Wasn't that Yes's fifth album? I would rather masturbate in those circumstances than ever have sex

I mean, with an understanding partner. Just make each other come x

Thoughts?

They choke me... even my Magnums. But I still use them.

It's bigger than that though isn't it??? I was with my last boyfriend for 3 years and I tried the pill for a few months and hated it. So condoms were our only option for birth control and STD prevention. Having a latex allergy under those circumstances was not fun. Yet another example of the BS women gotta put up with just to get some dickie. . . shit ain't fair at all.

blackguitaristz said:

Condoms, including the flavoured ones, taste like shit!

And once again, someone not using condoms for oral but insists on it for sex. Tsk, tsk.

KidaDynamite said:

I had symptoms that seemed like VD. I was freaking out!
I had been uncomfortable in the past, but I thought it was just from friction. THAT time it was bad. I went to the gyno, who sent me to a dermatologist.

Latex gloves make my hands break out, too.

chocolate1 said:

me too.... and I get bad swelling with the latex condoms, not comfortable at all. Makes you want to take an epi-pen to yourself for real! OUCH!

But even the polyurethane ones bother me too. But its just discomfort not anything like the latex.

But see anything, anything is better than those damn awful "female condoms" those are the absolute worst!

paintedlady said:

Lambskin is more pleasant, but they are not as disease-safe.

So, are you condom lovers using them for oral sex as well?

Stymie said:

No.

I know it's odd, but I'm more comfortable having regular vaginal sex with someone than oral. Not that I think it's "dirty" or anything, but to me oral is more personal somehow. For me I don't go down, nor do I expect someone to go down unless I'm really fond of them and know them really well.

No, I can't explain it. I know it doesn't make sense.

I read somewhere that most couples in the olden days used the Rhythm Method which is basically avoiding sex when a woman is ovulating. This has been around for centuries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w...thm_method

Calendar-based methods are various methods of natural birth control that involve counting days of a woman's menstrual cycle in order to achieve or avoid pregnancy. Common names for some of these methods are calendar method, Standard Days Method, rhythm method, and Knaus-Ogino method (named after Hermann Knaus and Kyusaku Ogino). While the failure rates of these methods are high compared to most other methods of birth control, correct use prevents a significant number of pregnancies.

I wonder what it was like b4 condoms, how did any1 w/out getting pregnant all the time?

SCNDLS said:

The calendar method is not very reliable, at all.

What I am talking about is a method that, in addition to calendar, charts daily basal temperature, cervical fluid and cervical position. It's very reliable - but you have to be committed to it.
