The Condom Monologues

Okay, I admit it.  I was lured by its original tin casing and flashy print designs.  Each new (circular not square) wrapper is crafted and submitted into a contest and then voted by consumers.  Imagine primary school art teachers incorporating this competition into their curriculum!  I also liked the fact that this condom company donates 5% of its sales to the ONE Voice Foundation, a sex education and health group.  But be warned by the hype:  A circular condom wrapper does not necessarily make it easier to open.  More importantly, this condom broke on me (or in me, I should say), despite the company priding itself on using “leading-edge manufacturing tecnhnology”, with it’s trade mark ingrediant, Sensatex (the same company that helped invent Spray On Condoms- more about that in another post).  Yes, these condoms are sheer and smooth.  But ”Super Sensitive”?  Personally, I find them no more sensitive then a regular Durex or Lifestyles.  More over, lubricant is especially necessary for these condoms.  Otherwise you risk uncomfortability and malfunction.      

Hi World and Condom Monologuers alike! 

Since the launch of Condom Monologues in late Febuary, 2008, we’ve developed many ideas for what topics and issues could be shared here.  Initially, and most importantly, Condom Monologues was created to converge our experiences and knowledges of condom sex.  As of now, our Condom Reviews and Stories have slowly grown and our Condom Size Chart (the most visited page here) has been updated to help people understand condom fitting and branding.  We have been welcomed by over 11,000 visitors and are confident that this number will increase as we begin to diversify the site.     

One aspect that we will improve is to include more information about female condoms and dental dams.  We would like to give both technical information, such as how to use condoms, how condoms should fit, and also to give more personal stories from an array of sexualities.  We want to clear some health-facts confussion, particularly on issues of lubricants and STD transmission.  Furthermore, we aim to increase the number of charted condom sizes and brands reviewed.

Other ideas are 1) Include a Condom History page, that talks about the invention of the condom technology and the folklores that have followed. 2) A Sex Education page that covers policy issues, such as the United State’s Abstinence Only Program.  3) A Condoms in Cinema page to pay tribute to all those films that acknowledge the realities of sex and “sexify” condom use. 4) A Funnies page containig condom jokes and ridiculous condom stories.       

Ideas are bursting and bustling across this website.  We absolutely need to hear your thoughts as to how to improve Condom Monologues.  What condom topics would you like to see covered here?

Thanks!  The Condom Monologues Team
