New Condom Keeps Him Hard (And You Safe)
May 10, 2011 2 Comments
A new “Viagra condom” is hoping to keep guys erect longer and promote safer sex.
Let’s be honest. Condoms kind of suck. Suck mainly for guys, that is. Men are constantly complaining of a number of things: “I can’t FEEL you” tends to be number one and “I can’t finish with one on–my dick won’t stay hard” comes in a close second. Condoms may not make much of a difference feeling-wise in the sack for us, but it sure as hell is nice to know we don’t have chlamydia or a bun in the oven.
So, the kind folks at Futura Medical and Durex have decided to answer our prayers of safety and pleasure, for both parties involved. The spaceship-name-sounding “CSD 500” condom is apparently the answer we’ve been waiting for. Vasolidating gel inside of the condom promotes blood flow to the penis and helps him maintain an erection. The cool thing about this new Godsend is that its not just for old guys who still want to get it in (good for them, though!), but it is for the whining babies we’re having sex with–the younger guys who complain of not keeping it up without FEELING us.
My initial reaction to the new product was “cool.” But then, I got a little angry at the male species. Do they really need a special condom to stay erect while inside us? Come on. Literally.
Look, you don’t need to FEEL the inside of my vag to know that you’re having sex with me. You’re thrusting and getting a fair amount of pressure on your unit. Shouldn’t that be good enough?
Pithy anger aside, I do think the new line of pleasure-wear is great idea. With the amount of teenage pregnancies, STIs and infections popping up every day, it is smart and responsible to create a product that will promote safety. Maybe even the frat guy who’s been using the “I can’t stay hard” line for years now will give it a try.

Contrary to your belief–which I’m not sure where you got–sexual stimulation for guys is not just about “thrusting and getting a fair amount of pressure on your unit.” There are a bunch of nerve endings in the head of the penis (it’s analogous to the clitoris in that regard), which is where a condom deadens sensation most (at least for me).
Sure, there are guys out there who will try to bullshit their way out of a condom. You even praise the fact that having condoms like these on hand will give them one less reason to get out of wrapping it up.
But if you’re so concerned about “the whining babies [you]’re having sex with,” DON’T HAVE SEX WITH THEM. Personally, I’m not interested in having sex with someone who isn’t concerned with my pleasure, especially when I try to be a conscientious and giving lover.
So before making anymore sweeping generalizations, rethink your partner choices and take an anatomy lesson.
Hey chuck,
I’ll admit that my article was man-bashing and full of sweeping generalizations. I apologize for calling your entire male race whining babies when it comes to condom use.
Speaking frankly though, I care about the pleasure of my partner, my boyfriend, quite a bit. Almost always more than my own. As women, we like to please our men and show them how much we love them. even if it means doing something unsafe.
So, we let him cum inside without a condom because he doesn’t like them and then a number of things can happen. duh.
I think my main attitude toward this post was circling around the assholes I encounter at my college. My Friday nights consist of pulling frat boys off of my wasted friends, trying to put pills in their drinks and get them to have sex with them. So, I am biased recently and I apologize.
This clearly, in no way, means that all me are selfish jerks only trying to get it in. It is unfair to put that label on all of you.
Silly debate aside, these condoms are about safety and promoting the use of rubbers. that’s all that should truly matter and I apologize for bashing your sex.
I got on my feminist high horse and rode off into the sunset on this one…
