This week’s national condom week, and in case you hadn’t been thinking about male or female condoms it’s a good time to reflect about what they can bring to your sex lives.
Long gone are the days where condoms are thick, smelly and come with the spermicidal pessary that bleaches your boyfriends carpet (yes I’m talking personal experience here).
Nowadays condom manufacturers have caught on to the opportunities offered by making condoms sexy so not only do we have a huge range of size/shape combos, we also get ones with different textures, colours, flavours and lubes to go with them that can increase sensitivity or prolong sex. In short, condoms are the new sex toys. Even adverts for condoms and lube have got good
So hopefully you’ll join in the celebrations this week and think about using condoms and what that can do to enhance your sexual health – and pleasure. Even if you don’t usually use them for contraception, give a flavoured or textured one a go – it all adds to the fun.
And to keep us in the mood Logan Levkoff’s written an Ode to Condoms. While here’s my guide for busting those ‘condoms don’t fit me’ type excuses. Seriously, don’t make me come over and spank you for not gloving up.

You could send someone you fancy a naughty condom e card. Or check out this podcast from the BMJ on the importance of condoms fitting.
Finally Scarleteen asks us to celebrate your ‘condomversary’ – the number of years you’ve been using condoms.
What’s your number?
