Starting Over
People are placed in and taken out of our lives for a multitude of reasons. My faith has me looking upward so I might stay on my path, forward to reach my future and to either side for the ones to walk near me on my journey.

Safe sex, particularly condoms... *Updated*
One of my randoms got me thinking; I was so aware of the condom last night I think it affected my enjoyment. Do I tell him I didn't like the kind he bought? Do we shop for them together? Do I get them on my own? Do we just get tested together and decide we aren't sleeping with anyone else? (I'm getting tested on my own on Friday bc I'm diligent if I have unprotected sex with anyone) My XH and I never used them and the XBF and I didn't either. Do you have a favorite brand? Style? Type? Halp please and thank you!

Re: Safe sex, particularly condoms... *Updated*
This is generally my preference, but it only works if neither of you have had unprotected sex with someone else in the last 6 mos (the length of time it tests on STIs like HIV to be most accurate).
If you still want to use a barrier method like a condom, I'd actually suggest talking to him about it, and then shopping together.

I would make it an experiential game with you bf to try several types of condoms together. It might be a fun adventure for the both of you. I would be concerned if this is something you don't feel comfortable sharing with your bf, open communication will bring you two closer. Your comfort and enjoyment is just as important as his.
OMG!! That's a great response. I like Trojans, ultra sensitive.
