Condoms: A User-Interactive Poll That Proves Little
So I think we can all agree that a guy who tries to pressure someone into going bareback "because it feels better" is a douche.  Safe sex is important, and no one should tell you otherwise.  But the question is, how much does the presence of the condom affect the enjoyment of the sex? 

As such, without comment as to my own personal preferences (which I'll outline in the comments, after you've voted), here's a poll to ask what your experience is with condoms:


Poll #1837537 Condoms
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: None, participants: 320

I have a penis, and for me, the condom experience while giving during sex is:

View Answers
Absolutely no different than going bareback.
6 (4.8%)
Slightly reduced sensation, but not enough to really matter.
39 (31.0%)
Enough to put an unwelcome kink in the experience, but not enough to spoil the pleasure.
42 (33.3%)
Sensation reduced enough to cause issues a significant amount of the time.
23 (18.3%)
So troublesome that it makes sex almost unpleasurable.
6 (4.8%)
So bad that I refuse to use them in all but the direst of circumstances.
2 (1.6%)
Something else, which I will outline in the comments
8 (6.3%)

Admittedly, my audience tends to be very sex-friendly and educated, so I don't know how much this proves.  But it's fun to talk about. 

Personally, if you're talking condom usage, I recommend the "Fire and Ice" condoms, which are thin, the grease washes off easier, and the gel actually provides an increased sensation.  But if y'all have advice for making condom usage easier, please!  Share your wisdom in the comments. 

And if you've found a good dental dam that works, please. Share your holy grail.  Best I've seen is Saran Wrap and lots of lube, and it still kinda sucks.
