Condom Monologues and other websites dedicated to safe sexual well-being are excluded by default from Google’s AdSense program because we are “sexual in intent or may not be considered family-safe, such as sexual aids, devices and fetishes”.  In their policy, AdSense bans “adult content” that include “SOME treatments of topics such as sexual health and sexual tips or advice“, and yet websites like Ashley Madison, which encourages cheating partners and affairs gets huge promotions.  See their policy here.

Recently, one of those websites, Hot Ice Project, wrote an open letter to Google about the hypocrisy of AdSense.  Hot Ice Inc. writes, “…we thought we will be helping women interested in latest feminine hygiene products and marital aid items… And yes, comfort tampons, female condoms, dildoes, vibrators, lubricants, sex education tapes, butt plugs and cock rings ARE perfectly legitimate marital aid products.  Millions and millions of people around the world use those. Annual sales of 14.3 billion dollars with double digit growth rate cannot possibly be supported by few perverts hovering in dark alleys.”  Read full letter here.

Hot Ice Inc is an online store that premiers women novelty products.  In such a male-dominated industry of dildos and vibrators, it is one of the only blogs where women can discuss their needs, seek advise and shop.  Their products include lubricants, female condoms, stringless tampons and advice on how to safely use them, as well as a line dedicated to wedding nights and honeymoons.  In an interview with M.O., Founder and CEO Luba Ilyasova says that in her years of working in finance, she has never faced the kind of stigma and penalties that are associated with being labeled ”adult business”.

We agree that in the funny world of sex know-how, what gets censored or silenced contributes to ignorance- a leading cause of STIs, HIV/AIDS, sexual cancers, unwanted pregnancies, gender and sexual abuse, sexuality discrimination, low self-worth….Who determines what is appropriate and inappropriate content affects the kind of exposure online communities receive.  But what is the solution to the problem?  Is it time for AdSense to refine their “mature content” policy?

According to Global Industry Analysts, Inc. (2010) and others, Durex is the most popular brand of condoms in Europe.  Their line offers 9 different latex condoms, with the top choices being Durex Love, Extra Sensitive and Ultimate Feeling.  Durex produced the very first male condom to be made of polyurethane, which is suited for users who are allergic to latex.  Durex Avanti BARE is their non-latex upgrade made of polyisoprene, a synthetic version of latex with the same elasticity, but without the scent or allergies. In 2004, Durex ceased production of condoms containing Nonoxynol-9.  Durex also puts a substantial amount of money into sexual wellbeing research and STI prevention programs worldwide.

Best Condom:

Reviewing various sources including Undercover Condoms, Condom Choice, Consumer Report, etc. the hot picks of Durex are tied between Durex Love, Extra Sensitive and Ultimate Feeling, but these latexes are likely to change as MicroSheer polyurethane and polyisoprene become more mainstream technology.  Durex’s top selling non-latex condom is Avanti BARE.

Durex Love gets its reputation as easy to put on, easy to please.  Thinner than standard latex, built with a little extra headroom and length (8.0in/203mm) for somewhat larger than average guys and are specially shaped for easy roll-on.  It is made with 25% more lubricant than the standard condom for an extra silky smooth and natural feel.  It is a 6 time winner on Condom Depot’s World’s Best Condom Award.  Love scores on our personal top list too and is highly recommended: here’s our review.

Durex Extra Sensitive is as thin as you can get with latex condoms at .0019 thickness, which is 20% thinner than standard condoms.  It was awarded most reliable and dependable condom in 2005 by Consumer Report Magazine and is a 6 times winner on Condom Depot’s World’s Best Condoms Award.

Durex Ultimate Feeling equals the same thickness and lubrication as Extra Sensitive.  The only difference with this pop pick is its textured rib.  In 2011, it was rated as one of the top condoms for sensation by Live Strong.  If you or your partner enjoy over 58 lines of ribbed stimulation, this condom is a safe choice.

Not so hot:

We found Durex Performax with one of the lowest ratings from Undercover Condoms, Condom Depot and Condomman.  Users complain about numbness, taste, smell, and lose of erection.  However, it was rated one of the most reliable condoms by Consumer Report Magazine.  Not recommended if early ejaculation is not a concern.  There are no readily available criticisms about the Durex company. The main criticism we found was by one sex educator and medical research, Dr. Petra Boynton, who argues that the Durex Global Sex Survey lacks ethical validity and academic standards.  However, we have not yet found other sources validating her claims. This section is still undergoing research.

Trojan (at least in North America) is to condoms as Kleenex is to tissues.  It’s original manufacturer, Young’s Rubber Company, was the first to develop the latex condom in 1920 and has had a monopoly in drugstores ever since.  According to market research firm, SymphonyIRI Group, in 2010, Trojan took 70% of the US condom market bringing in about $270 million annually).

Trojan’s Magnum line offers some of the largest of the crop, both long by wide.  Their Magnum XL is 8.1in/206mm length and 2.3in/55.88mm width (Durex XXL is 9.5in/241mm).  The rule of thumb: If you measure greater than 5.2in/132mm in girth, than Magnum condoms may be best for you.  If your girth is greater than 5.8in/147mm you might consider Magnum XL.

Best Condom:

Among their 27 condoms variations we found Trojan Supra with the highest rating by numerous independent sources, such as Slate Mag (2005), Undercover Condoms, CondomUSA, and Condom Jungle.  This condom is not made of latex, but of microsheer polyurethane (more on this soon), which bills it as “ultra thin” (not to be confused with Trojan’s Ultra Thin latex version).  One major draw back: the Supra is only available with Nonoxynol-9, a spermicidal chemical.

Trojan Extended Pleasure is also popularly rated by the same sources.  It contains a special lubricant (benzocaine, a common anesthetic) that is very effective in preventing early ejaculation.  Personally, I found this condom to be unreliable and messy.  Here is my review from a few years ago. If you do try this condom, be careful not to spill the large glob of lubricant that sits at the tip.  It tastes and smells funny.

Not so hot:

On the flip side of Trojan’s dominance, Condom Depot’s annual condom awards reports Trojan condoms scoring low for four consecutive years.  Their reviews complain about a lack of sensitivity, dryness, and an overt latex smell.

At time of writing we don’t have the sizing for Kimono Microthin Condoms in our Condom Size Chart but we plan to add them all very soon…. Simply because the Kimon range are an excellent addition to the great range of condoms available.

The Kimono MicroThin is a well know Japanese condom that is special because it is said to be 38% thinner than average condoms. In fact they are America’s Thinnest Latex Condom, according to the packaging! This is awesome because less barrier makes the condoms theoretically closer to the feeling of having sex without a condom. Having sex without a condom feels great but it’s not worth compromising health and possible pregnency for a small difference in feeling…. And the Kimono MicroThin range make it less of an issue!

The Kimono MicroThin Range comes in 3 types. Standard MicroThin, MicroThin with Aqua and MicroThin Large… all are excellent choices and pretty cheap just to try and out and see if they are right for you.

As an added bonus the awesomeness of 50 years of Japanese development has meant that these condoms exceed all US standards for condom safety and strength…. bonus!

If you have used these condoms before then we would very much like to know how you find them and what you think of them in comparison to others of the market.

Thanks.

The reason so many people ask, What Condom Size Am I is because the condom sizing and how to measure ourselves is not very clear.

Choosing the right condom is essential as many breakages or failures are due to people just using the wrong sized condoms. If a condom feels too baggy it may slip off or not hold your ejaculation in which could result in the transmission of disease or unwanted pregnancy. Even worse if the condom is too tight it may cause you pain and could burst or tear during sexual intercourse.

So how do you answer the question…..

What Condom Size Am I?

The first thing you need to do is measure the size of your penis. This isn’t too hard and their are three main measurements you need to take. First from the base of your penis which is the part where the condom would stop rolling (no need to put the condom over your testicles!) and measure up to the tip of your penis…. This is your length. Then try and measure the straight width of your penis at the thickest part (the base). Lastly you need to wrap the tape measure around the circumference of your penis and take that measurement too if at all possible.

Now you have the measurements you can go over to our article called Condom Size Chart. There you will find charts for average penis sizes so you will be able to roughly determine where you sit on the scale…. Then just scroll down and you will see a bunch of condoms from major condom brands (Durex, Trojan and Lifestyles with more being added soon!).

Durex has the most comprehensive sizing so that may be your best first choice but you can experiment and try with others too.

Just make sure you don’t engage in proper sexual intercourse if a condom does not fit! So firstly answer the question “What Condom Size Am I?” for yourself and then check against the chart and get a hold of your best fit.

Let us know if you have any questions at all and we will always do our best to fully answer them. Don’t be embarrassed and use a fake name if you really need to. We will never judge you for your questions.

If you have anything that requires a longer answer we will even write it up into a full post.

Thanks for reading and we hope this article helped.
