How's it hangin? The bigger the penis, the better the sex.
Well actually, women do not prefer a larger than-average penis. What God gave
you usually works just fine.
12 inches…EVERY man's dream.
Yep, according to our sex gurus, the size of an average man's erection is about
five to seven inches .
The size of a man's hands and feet preview the size of his love muscle.
Not really or Abe Lincoln might be more famous as a lover than as the "Great
Emancipator. " (Although, if this were true, Lincoln's zipper would have been
known as the great emancipator!).
The way your lover sucks those spaghetti strands off his fork suggests how
he'll please you in bed.
Well…it could certainly tell you how he thinks he'd like to perform but is not a
sure fire gauge for success.
The most popular adult sex toy is the vibrator.
Not exactly. A vibrating pager has usurped that position. The pager is worn by
eager women and men who stick it in their pants and hope someone calls!
French men are better lovers.
Well... don't know about that for sure but, according to our experts, the French
kiss became popular because it was the only way the French could find to make
each other stop talking. Whatever…it sure was picked up by other countries and
popularized!
- Use a new condom before each sex act.
- Use only latex condoms. (Lambskin provides no protection from STDs.)
- Open the package carefully. Never bite it or use scissors.
- Put on a condom when the penis is erect, but before sexual penetrations.
- Hold the condom by the tip and unroll it so it covers the entire erect
penis.
- If the condom doesn't have a "reservoir end," squeeze tip of condom to
remove air.
- If the penis is uncircumcised, pull the foreskin back before putting on
the condom.
- After ejaculation, hold the condom close to the base of the penis and
carefully withdraw.
- Immediately throw away used condoms.
- If you feel a condom break while having intercourse, stop and withdraw immediately.
IS YOUR CONDOM ON UPSIDE DOWN?
No doubt condoms will make headlines as long as AIDS is an epidemic. Despite what reporters and consumers think, there still are a lot of misconceptions about these latex lifesavers. The consumer information specialists at Ansell Personal Products, maker of LifeStyles and other condoms, want to share some surprising facts that may make you laugh.
THE BARE FACTS
1. The most common condom mistake is putting on the condom upside down. It should unroll smoothly and easily from the rim on the outside. "If you have to struggle, or if takes more than a few seconds to put on a condom, it's inside out," says Carol Carrozza, Director of Marketing for Ansell Personal Products. To take off the condom, don't try to roll it back up. Hold it near the rim and slide it off.
2. People ask about condom sizes. It's not like buying a shirt. There generally are three sizes available and size differences are subtle. For example, LifeStyles Ultra Sensitive is a standard condom size. The LifeStyles Form Fit condom is contoured to provide a snugger fit for those who prefer it. Ansell also offers a Mega condom which is just 2 mm larger than the standard size. But sorry, guys, they don't get bigger than this, despite what you claim to need.
3. Use a latex condom. The Centers for Disease Control says that for the sexually active, latex condoms provide the best protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Latex also offers variety. It can be molded into condoms with bumps, ridges, and different shapes to provide different sensations.
4. Condoms are like cartons of milk. Both have a shelf life and an expiration date on the package. Don't buy old milk or use a condom that's expired. Condoms with spermicide have a shelf life of three years; those without spermicide have a shelf life of five years.
5. The worst place to carry a condom is your back pocket. Think about how a stick of gum looks after a day in your back pocket, and you'll know why a shirt pocket makes more sense for carrying a condom. Don't store condoms for a long time in your glove compartment, pocket, wallet, or purse. Lengthy exposure to heat can break down the latex. And in a purse, keys, pens, or other sharp objects can damage a condom if it's not in a protective case.
6. The foil packet has a tear strip; use it. You can damage the condom by tearing open the package with your teeth or something sharp. Also, once the condom is out of the package, handle it gently. Jewelry and fingernails often are culprits in tearing condoms.
7. Another common mistake is to pull the condom on too tightly, with no room at the tip. If the condom doesn't have a reservoir tip, squeeze the end to remove air, and leave a little room at the end. This is the origin of the condom nickname "Jimmy Hat."
8. Body oil, ice cream and whipped cream are fun, but they're not good lubricants for latex condoms because they can damage the latex. Use only water-based lubricants. The package will be clearly marked.
9. If you feel a condom break, stop and withdraw immediately. Then use another condom. If another condom in the same package should break, keep the unused condoms and call the manufacturer. Lot number tracking will help get to the source of the problem. Ansell has a toll-free consumer line at 1-800-633-0909 if you have any questions about condoms.
10. Most people don't realize that condoms are classified as medical devices. Their production and marketing are regulated by the Food & Drug Administration.
There are stringent quality controls and testing that Ansell uses in the manufacture of condoms. The company has a quality assurance and testing program that meets standards for more than 100 countries worldwide, and its condoms must meet more than 24 international requirements.
PASSING THE TEST
1. Every single condom is tested electronically for holes.
2. In addition, samples of every batch of condoms undergo inflation testing. A typical condom will inflate to about three feet high and one foot wide before it bursts.
3. Samples of every batch of condoms also are tested for water leakage. A condom must hold 300 ml [10.2 oz.] of water without leaking.
4. Finally, other samples of condoms are stretched lengthwise and crosswise to test for tensile strength and elongation.
5. Ansell voluntarily retains samples of every batch of condoms produced. They can be used as control samples in future quality tests.
How to reduce stress from extended commutes
What's the best kind of condom?
There are so many condoms out there, so many choices
and so little time. There are condoms marketed and labeled as "ultrasensitive,"
and these are usually thinner and provide more warmth and direct contact. When
you buy or choose condoms, look for the ones with the word "ultrasensitive." In
addition, using water-based lubrication can increase the pleasure and decrease
the risk of small tears or cuts that allow STDs and HIV entry into a partner.
There's a newish condom called Pleasure Plus that has a pouch near the head for
larger and uncut penises. It also has ribs and lube on the pouch for extra
sensation. On the Condomania Web site, they have a hokey but effective Condom
Wizard, which can help you decide which to try. They also sell condom samplers
so you can try a few and see which you like enough to buy more of.
The truth about barebacking
On
barebacking, my boyfriend (top) has had three negative tests over nine months
and I have had one. Are we pretty well OK?
If you mean negative HIV tests, then it is unlikely
that either of you are HIV infected, but to be sure, both partners need to be
monogamous and you should get another test.
The risk of barebacking, however, goes beyond HIV. People can transmit herpes,
gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia to each other, too -- so both partners should
also be tested and treated, if infected, for these infections. There should be
testing of the urine and rectum for gonorrhea and chlamydia. Both of these are
treatable infections and can lay dormant in your body without symptoms. Ask your
doctor for a full spectrum of STD tests for the different places you have sex --
throat, penis and/or rectum.
If either of you are barebacking with each other and having other
partners, it's important to have safe sex with the other partners so you don't
bring anything home.
