Let me begin by saying that attitude plays a major role in the acceptance of something new and person has to be open to change. I say this because I have never been a fan of condoms. They seem alien to me and I can understand why men balk at the idea of putting one on. Afterall, I hate having mammagrams done because it's just so uncomfortable! Who wants their body parts all squooshed and compressed?! But I have to say that when the choices are between a male condom and a disease, the condom will have its way, no doubt.
So lately I've been sharing with people on my Facebook page information and the idea of using the Female Condom. The only problem I had with my message was that I had never tried it for myself. I believe in teaching from experience so that I can hold a conversation with my audience about the issue at hand. For example, several months back when I started up this blog I went and got tested for HIV although I've been tested before in other states, so that if any questions came up then I could tell about my personal experience with the testing procedures in my current city.
Now that I've tried out a female condom for myself, I think it's importnant to share my experience. I was hoping to find a format or some type of survey that I could just customize. As luck would have it I cannot find any such template so bare with me as I navigate my way through the details of my experience.
For those who have seen my YouTube presenatation:Female Condoms Rock! I followed the same proceedure for setting the condom up for use. After washing my hands I checked the expiration date and kneeded the package for a few seconds to distribute the lubricant. I then tore the package open at the preforated top right corner and removed the condom from its package.
I must tell you that because I have never used anything like a diaphram before I was just a little concerned about inserting the inner ring of the condom. But I got it in place on the very first try and I didn't have any problems with the condom twisting either. It was actually a piece of cake so-to-speak.
Although I demonstrated in my presentation that the larger outter ring will be visible on the outside of the va-gee-gee, seeing is believing. Keeping in mind that everybodys built differently (speaking about the depths of our cavities) when I stood up after inserting my condom I couldn't help but wonder what in the world I would do for 8 hours with 2 inches of the condom sort of dangling down there. I'm just keeping it real with you! Because remember that you can insert the female condom and leave it in place for up to 8 hours before you use it AND the extra material helps to protect more surface area.
Surveys have reported that the outter ring stimulates the clitorous during intercourse. As a result of my experiment, I can now happily tell you that there is truth in that. There were no issues with any pinching of skin or pulling of hair as with male condoms. And although I did notice some noise initially, after applying more lubrication it went away.
Removal of the female condom went just as well as the insertion of it. My report is that it was equally pleasing for both partners. Remember that its material permits it to warm up to the temperature of our va-gee-gees quickly. And overall it felt very natural.
So in conclusion, I am definately won over by the female condom. It is well worth the extra cost and you might be able to get them from the health department for free.
As always, I hope this is helpful.
Peace & Blessings
