Women Try Female Condoms For the First Time

imagesFor most women, the female condom is a mysterious and often scary form of contraception. It’s huge, has two rings at either ends, and can only be described as slimy. For this reason, Buzzfeed made a new video asking women to try the intimidating female condom for the first time. Here’s what they said (check out the hilarious video below).

When the women first opened the package, one remarked that it looked “like an elephant condom.” They also immediately noticed how well lubricated the female condom is: “very slimy.” Then, they tried inserting it, pinching the smaller end with the index fingers and sliding it inside. And as you can imagine, not all of the responses were positive: “it feels like a trash can bag inside of my pussy,” said one woman. Another woman had trouble with hers “popping back out.” Insertion hassles aside, what was sex like with a female condom? The reviews weren’t exactly glowing—“sort of felt like a Ziploc bag,” said one woman. A few said that the guys they were with liked it, but as one woman explained, most women probably wouldn’t be thrilled about using the female condom unless “you’re doing a double dick.”

Meet the Woman Who’s Revolutionizing Condoms

condompinAfter Talia Frenkel worked as a photojournalist for the Red Cross and the United Nations, she decided she wanted to help with the devastating effects of AIDS, which is the top killer of adult women worldwide. So she started L, a condom company that, for every condom sold, donates another to a female entrepreneur in a developing country. “So far, we’re partnered with more than 2,800 women in Swaziland and Uganda. They educate their peers about why this product is important and generate an income—everyone benefits,” says Frenkel.

Not only that, but she also created a condom that doesn’t irritate the skin or have that nasty rubber smell ubiquitous to condoms. And the packaging is different from your usual, drug-store condom—instead of a masculine image targeting guys, “which is out of touch with the modern view of sexuality,” L’s box is more gender-neutral. So far, students in a blind study have really responded to the new condom. Who knew safe sex could be so enjoyable and globally beneficial?

Study Shows Condoms Don’t Make Men Lose Their Boners

losnupoHave you ever blamed a condom for making you lose your boner? Well, new evidence shows the condom is not the culprit after all. A study that surveyed around 500 straight guys aged 18-24 found that the ones who thought the condom was making them go soft were more likely to be suffering from general erectile dysfunction regardless of whether they used a condom or not. It seems the problem isn’t physical but psychological.

One 24-year old thought the condom was making him lose sensitivity, which in turn made him lose his erection—and that only added to the pressure and self-consciousness he felt to perform. One researcher of the study explained, “men who first experience loss of erection when they use condoms might worry about [difficulty] experiencing erections more generally and hence be more vulnerable [to erectile problems].” To make matters worse, a third of the participants didn’t know how to properly put on a condom: “They’re a struggle to put on, especially after a few drinks, and then usually end up inside out, so have to be reapplied by which time either you’ve gone floppy or it’s just horrendously awkward and the moment is lost,” the 24-year old said. Well, besides de-villainizing condoms, this study proves one thing for sure: the importance and need for better sexual education.
