I personally don't prefer my boyfriend wearing condoms, I think it takes away from the experience and makes it feel a bit less romantic.

We like condoms because even though I'm on birth control, we feel safer! At 18, we can't take any chances! We're both pretty paranoid!
08/12/2011
Hate them, the way they feel smell etc.
08/12/2011
hate them cus with me they dont reely fit
08/12/2011
not a fan. takes too long to put on LOL
08/12/2011
I hate the way condoms feel, but my fiancee are I aren't ready to bring a child into the world, so we end up using one most of the time.

I have only used a condom twice in my life
08/12/2011
HATE them in my relationship now anyway. They are wonderful for safe sex practice if you or your partner may not be monogamous and I have certainly demanded their usage.

I don't like them, and I'm fluid-bonded with my partner, so we don't use them. They make it difficult for him to maintain an erection and I dislike the texture.

I can't really answer the poll because I don't understand how you set it up. Your question was "Do you prefer sex with or without a condom?" And then the answers were "yes" "no" and "sometimes" for a question that couldn't be answered with a yes or no because you set up TWO questions, opposite of each other in the same sentence.
Confused.

08/15/2011
I prefer sex without them, but recognize the necessity of them. I'm not on birth control and would prefer to stay that way, and my partner has absolutely no problem using a condom. We used to start sex without one and then put one on, then I had a minor pregnancy scare and we decided pre-cum was still too big a risk.

I prefer with no condom, but it doesn't bother me to use one and I'm glad to have them as an option for birth control in our situation.
08/16/2011
I hate condoms with a passion, but that's because I've tried tons and tons of different kinds and I've yet to find one that I'm not seriously allergic to. Being monogamous with my partner (4 years come Halloween) sure helps too.
08/16/2011
The answers available do not fit the question asked, so I can't answer the poll.
As to my opinion of condoms, they're the only birth control option I have, so I love them and always use them!

08/20/2011
I wear them when I'm not in a relationship but I'm currently engaged and we have been tested and get tested together ... so I do not use them ... we are getting married and take it very seriously so neither of us have fears of STDs and I'm on birth control and even if we were to get pregnant it would be okay! This is only my personal opinion though
08/20/2011
Of course I like no condoms better, but I get paranoid even being on the Pill. I want kids with him, just not yet. But hey, even if no condoms is better it still is amazing with them! I'm really thankful I have a man who feels the same way.

My husband had a vasectomy so we could ditch the condoms. The only part of using condoms I liked was the easy cleanup.
08/24/2011
At this point we always use a condom and thats because even though I am on the pill we are in no position for kids right now.
09/12/2011
The only thing I don't really like about them is the smell.
I LOVE that they make clean up easy.
Hubby hates them, period.
That being said we only use them if I'm on antibiotics.

I love them because I'm not sterilized yet and I always insist on two methods of birth control. (I also insist on them for anal) Once I'm sterilized, we'll still use them for anal and during ovulation just to be safe.
09/12/2011
yes, but only because of the extra protection.
09/12/2011
Nope, no condoms. When I was casually dating, I would make the guys wear them though.
09/12/2011
They smell bad, and though the difference is not too severe it feels a lot better without them! (Not to mention more freeing, less hassle before the action ;3) But obviously, if I were to miss a pill and wanted to have sex before I was safe again, I'd use them. The only reason I don't use them is because I'm on the pill.
09/12/2011
They tend to cause icky chafing. I'm on the pill and only having sex with one partner right now so we aren't using them.
09/16/2011
I chose sometimes. I wouldn't mind not using a condom, but he insists. We are only with each other, but he doesn't want any pregnancy.
The reason I chose sometimes though, is because for anal, we don't always use condoms. We always use condoms for vaginal, but sometimes we go bare for anal. It feels good with all our natural lubes and such, but sometimes I don't want his come in my rear.

My husband and I don't always care for how they feel, but will gladly use them out of necessity. We've been exclusive for a very long time, and didn't use condoms for several years while I was on the pill. After I went off the pill and we had our son, I tried to go back to it. My body just doesn't like the hormones the way it used to and I just don't feel right when I take the pill now, so back to condoms we go!
09/19/2011
I'm on the pill so we don't use them.
We never have, because he used one while masturbating once, and he hated it. I wish he'd use it though.

I just stopped using the pill, so condoms all the time for us until we know we're ready to bring a child into the world. If one happens accidentally, we can handle that, but we'd like to be able to plan a little bit if we can.
09/19/2011
None for us! We're bad! haha but we have both been tested since being together, and gotten the green light. I am on the Implanon, which is the strongest form of birth control available, so i'm not worried!
09/19/2011
Not a big fan. I used to really like the way they felt (latex gloves too. but I still like the gloves ) but not anymore. He doesn't like them either.

We're both 29 atm (I turn 30 in 2 wks) We've been married 8 years and have 2 kids. We don't use them for these reasons. When we were younger and first married we always used them b/c we didn't want the responsibility of a kid until we were ready for them. Neither one of us has STD's, but that's another good reason to always use them though.

I'm all for arousal and comfort but I don't think those are excuses for stupidity. There are admittedly completely legitimate reasons that you can forgo condoms, such as in a long term monogamous relationship where you don't mind if you end up pregnant, but condoms don't only protect against pregnancy!
Maybe I'm paranoid and distrustful, but I don't think I'd give up condom usage myself just because I enter into a monogamous relationship.

I've only had one partner and we have never used a condom. I was on the pill before and now I'm protected by my copper IUD. It's even more effective than the pill so there's no concern for pregnancy, and no concern for STDs since we are monogamous. I would consider that to be safe sex.
10/08/2011
I always use condoms for male partners. I've had sex without a condom a few times, but I was always too nervous to really enjoy the experience.

I don't like condoms, but I'll deal with them for safety's sake, definitely. (Also not on any BC right this minute, so if sex suddenly appeared, a condom would be a necessity.) It's hard for me to enjoy sex as much if I don't feel safe disease and/or pregnancy-wise.
Can't say I've never been bad about it in the heat of the moment, but I'm pretty adamant these days. I've never had a guy say "Oh, condom? Well, never mind the sex then."

I haven't had sex without a condom yet (I haven't had that much sex), but I'm really excited to try it. <//< I'm going to be starting birth control over break so that my boyfriend and I can go condomless in the winter.

Funny thing, when we first started dating my boyfriend said he'd have to be with me for awhile before he wouldn't use a condom. He was very iffy about it haha that made me feel comfortable about his past hooks ups.

I don't use condoms with my boyfriend,as it takes away from the whole spontaneity and fun we have(including some types of 'roleplay'), but I ALWAYS use them (and gloves too,for certain things) with any casual thing. I'm on the depo. shot and have been for almost 4 years now, with a lack of a period for almost 3.
I don't really need to worry about protection from STDs with him, and he rarely comes inside. If a pregnancy were to happen, I've got an emergency abortion fund to take care of that issue.
I prefer to use condoms with those I'm not fluid-bonded with,and since they're non-latex, no chance of ripping. (unless he's got something sharp on his cock....then we've got something different to worry about.)

I like condoms, because..I'm paranoid and don't trust my birth control pill completely.
11/14/2011
I don't like condoms, but I always use them for birth control/STD protection.
11/16/2011
For several reasons, we just don't use condoms.
1) I have a latex allergy. Not a bad one, just some skin irritation if I experience prolonged exposure.
2) Neither of us like how they feel.
3) We're completely monogamous and know we're both clean.
We did buy condoms about a year and a half ago because I was in between birth controls (switching from Depo shots to Implanon) and there was a 2 month time span in which I wasn't on anything... But I think we only used 2 of those condoms before deciding it didn't matter.

Yes, condoms definitely. I used to not care about them much, but not using them is too risky, and messy.
12/05/2011
I had negative reactions to the various hormonal birth control options so it was always condoms. Got used to them but the latex odor was a turnoff for me. I now have an IUD, just love it!
Sometimes we use condoms for anal but have to admit, the clean up using condoms is just so easy....

I'm not on birth control, unfortunately, so we have to use condoms most of the time. We sometimes go with a pull-out method as we got tired of using condoms all the time. I know it's a huge risk, but we don't really hate the idea of having a baby if it happens. Condoms are great in terms of clean-up though!
12/05/2011
I don't think it's less romantic with a condom, but it certainly feels different. My first (non-masturbatory) orgasm happened the first time I had sex without a condom. It helped finding the right size for my boyfriend, but we really don't have any other options as I can't seem to do well on hormonal birth control.
Just hoping he'll get a vasectomy soon. I'm pretty sure he will, he's just working his way up to it, and I'm standing back and letting it be his decision. If I'm ever in surgery for anything else, I'll have my tubes tied at the same time, but I'm not willing to undergo the risk and recovery time for just that. So until then, condoms it is.

Hate them. It doesn't feel as good at all, don't feel as close to your partner, etc. It helps to lessen anxiety over becoming pregnant though, even though I'm already on birth control.
12/05/2011
I dont really like them but sometimes its a good idea to use one. If you have multiple partners or no birth control method id use one. Im on BC and monogamous with the s/o so we dont usr them. And you can always make using one more sexy. Slide it on for your partner with your hand while touching them with your free hand or use your mouth. Go condom shopping and have fun picking out different styles together.
12/05/2011
Condoms take away some sensation and it's expensive to use condoms everytime you have sex if you do it 2-5 times a day
12/05/2011
i like them because i feel so much safer. i can enjoy it better
12/07/2011
One word; Lubrication.
12/07/2011
We don't use condoms because Trojans, a common brand, has something in them I'm allergic to. I got a kidney infection when I last used them and was almost hospitalized. I had a reaction and wasn't aware.
We also don't use them because he goes limp at the sight of a condom wrapper. Can't really keep it hard with one on.
We're just happier without them.
But I'm on the Depo shot and haven't had a period since January, so no need to worry about babies.

Both me and him hate the condoms. However we are not in a position to have kids right now.
01/07/2012
I voted "No" but we really should be using one since I'm not yet on birth control. If my boyfriend gets me pregnant, that's just a bridge we'll have to cross but I hope that never happens. If I happened to have sex with another man (That will never happen), I would definitely make them wear a condom.
01/09/2012
I really do not like condoms. I'm on the Pill now, and it worked perfectly for me the last time I was on it, but fluid-bonding is a big step. Also... I wasn't using condoms with my ex, because I was on the Pill, and just found out that he left me with HPV, probably from some of his cheating.
01/09/2012
Since I can't use hormonal birth control, condoms are our only form of BC. It took us awhile to find the right condom (he'd go limp as soon as it was on), so there were times we were careless and he pulled out. Now that we have the perfect condom, though, there are no excuses anymore.
01/09/2012
Well, I like being safe so I am sure glad they exist even if they feel crappy!
01/09/2012
i dont like them,but make sure 2 have them,rather be safe than sorry.

02/12/2012
My boyfriend and I sometimes use them. I'm on the Pill, but we use condoms for anal sex mostly to contain mess and because of bacteria, bleh.
02/12/2012
We only used condoms for the first 3 weeks of our relationship. I can't really feel the difference. He doesn't care about it that much, but isn't a big fan of them. We're on the pill and feel safe with it, but the added safety of a condom as well is nice. We're at the point in our relationship that if we have an "accident" it's not a huge deal. We've been together for nearly 3 years and will both be graduating from college in May. We've lived together for a while now and will likely get married someday, so a throwing a baby in the mix isn't something we want right now, but we wouldn't be devastated if happened.
02/13/2012
I prefer it without, but we always make sure to wear a condom because we're not ready right now for another kid.
02/13/2012
When your in a mutually monogamous relationship where you know you are safe and can trust one another you can finally use other forms of birth control. Thanks God, cause condoms make me feel like I'm fucking plastic first and a vagina second, which I am.
02/13/2012
I do not like them sam I am, however I do keep a stash on hand for the occasional one night stand
02/13/2012
I like condoms
02/13/2012
I used to be overly demanding of them, but it seems what was causing my problem with them was an evil latex allergy, and there is NO way I can afford those lambskin ones, and I don't trust the non-latex, non-lambskin ones because they're so thin and weird and too breakable. It isn't super often that I have sex anyways. My ex wasn't a fan of them either, but he was willing to wear them for me when I wanted them. It turned out though that crazy enough, my hormonal birth control ended up working well enough. Now I'm on an IUD, and we'll see what happens. If I do have sex again anytime soon, it won't be until at least summer...
02/13/2012
I hate hate hate the smell and I used to be really sensitive to latex. It would burn and almost itch after having sex with one
02/13/2012
Partner and I have to be tested otherwise condom is a must. Birth control is also a huge deal so condom only lessens the risk even more since my future does not involve babies any time soon. Oral sex is fun with or without. Anal MUST have a condom since it is a safety issue and prevents male UTI.
02/13/2012
We are commited to each other in our marriage and do not use them however i am on birth control cuz we do not need another little one running around anytime soon
02/14/2012
This is not a yes/no question. It is either/or. I don't like condoms. I don't like how they feel.
02/14/2012
I don't like them, I don't like the way they feel and neither does my partner. Unfortunately at this point in my life it is necessary for me.
02/14/2012
My bf is trans so we don't need condoms, we have used them before to keep toys cleaner but it is just easier to use the toys as is
02/14/2012
I find that they're usually irritating to me, regardless of material. They make things dry up faster.
02/14/2012
I'm sure sex feels better without them but I've never not used condoms nor can I afford not to because I can't risk a pregnancy at this point in my life.

Prefer without, but as it's my primary form of birth control - they're rather necessary.

We've been having sex for almost three years and we've never used a condom... I feel the same way, it would take away from the experience. If I was sleeping with multiple partners or something it would be wise to, but since we've both only had one sexual partner(eachother) its not a big deal, so long as he doesn't "do anything" inside of me.

I am married and have my tubes tied I don't need them but my hubs and I have never really used them
04/29/2012
I never liked the feel of condoms, plus with my girlfriend on birth control it is not a high priority.
04/29/2012
I dont like them but at this point in time i dont want any kids so condoms are a must....I wish we didnt have t use them
04/29/2012
Not a huge fan, but we use them.
04/30/2012
I hate condoms. And I'm on the pill, feeling plenty safe. So I avoid them like the plague.
04/30/2012
Never had sex but i love masturbating with no condom.

I hate condoms.

I hate condoms. They annoy me and I just can't seem to keep wet enough with them. Probably because they annoy me. I still used them of course, prefer not though. After I'm been with my partner a while and know for sure we are both clean, I do stop using them.
04/30/2012
HATE THEM. I'm allergic to most of the lubricants they come with. There are very few options to buy unlubricated condoms and apply your own. Unfortunately sometimes they are required for safety reasons.
05/01/2012
i cant have sex without a condom that is why i have noone to have sex with and i stick to my pocket pussies. i cant feel anything with a condom on. the purpose is for plearure but im not getting any the condom is covering my dick and i cant feel how good the vagina feels
05/01/2012
nope
05/02/2012
Dislike them.

I voted sometimes. Because I always demand a condom because I am terrified of getting pregnant and/or getting an STI. I like to protect myself from anything that could compromise my health. But they are somehow impersonal and can take away from the great feeling of a naked penis.... But I always choose a condom, even though they can be kind of annoying

I hate them. They take away the natural texture. They smell and they make me itch (no matter the material).
05/09/2012
I don't prefer condoms, but since they prevent me from getting pregnant, I like them. Haven't found a pill that doesn't make me go crazy and puke my guts out yet
05/09/2012
No I don't wear a condom. But I have been witht he same girl for 2 years. we live together, work together. see each other literally 24/7. so i'm not worried. and she on bc. but if she does get prego it'll be ok. lol
05/18/2012
No married for 10 years together for 20.
05/18/2012
No condoms for us. We don't like them and I'm on the Mirena IUD. So we're good. lol
06/08/2012
I don't like condoms at all but always use them unless I'm in a monogamous, long-term relationship and on birth control...and myself and my partner have been tested and such. They might bug me but they're useful.
06/08/2012
No condoms we are married I'm on the pill and if i do get pregnant we won't worry it will just be earlier then planed, and I really want a child!
06/08/2012
I've actually never had sex without a condom. 1. I don't want to get pregnant, even though I am also on the pill. 2. My BF has an STD he worries he could pass on to me.
Overall, I feel safer and more comfortable knowing we're using a condom. I don't feel the condom once he is inside of me. I know he doesn't like the condom much.

No, because we are fluid bonded and I don't like the way condoms feel or smell.
06/24/2012
We generally do not use condoms but we are in our mid-late 20s and getting married. Condoms take away from the feel and make it less romantic. They hurt him sometimes as well. The only time we have is when I have been on an anti-biotic otherwise we use birthcontrol
06/25/2012
No condoms for us. I don't think we've used one since high school so almost 10 years ago? We've been together for a LONG time and I've been on the pill since I was 16 so no need for a condom. Personally, I don't like them and I hate the way they smell.
07/09/2012
for me, condoms are the safest option without messing with my hormones like birth control does
07/09/2012
i prefer without but i dont want anymore kids yet so i use them

Hate em! Takes so much of the feeling away, we feel so much closer without one. We used them for a few years though, but now I've got an IUD (I HIGHLY recommend them if you hate condoms/pills!) and I'm on HRT (hormone replacement therapy, I'm transsexual) so I'll be sterile soon anyways, thank GOD! The only way we're ever going to use a condom again is to cover jelly toys

I was on the pill for less than 2 months before I stopped because I reacted so badly. I got a Mirena and I love it. The hormones are lower and more localized so I haven't reacted as badly. Plus, there is always non-hormonal IUDs too.

I love them and I'm a lesbian. Lubrication and safety for sharing, all that good stuff.

I love condoms because they make me feel safer, they look either hot or hilarious, and I just love artificial augmentation of anything and everything (as long as it's healthy).

We use condoms because she isn't comfortable with hormonal birth control....I'd rather use condoms than not have sex.
07/16/2012
Certainly glad they exist, prefer without.
07/16/2012
We use them when we need them, they cost more than my birth control and can be forgotten in the heat of the moment...
07/16/2012
Condoms are awesome, STI prevention is just as important as pregnancy prevention, but alas they aren't the funnest things in the world. The health positives are way more important than the smell or cost factor though.
07/21/2012
I like condoms because they protect against pregnancy. But I do not like them, because sex is more fun without them. I will be excited when me and my partner get married and decide to have kids.
07/22/2012
less comfortable/sexy, less spur of the moment.
07/22/2012
My current partner and I stopped using them when we both got a clean bill of health from the Doc.
He has had a vasectomy for 13 years and I am pretty certain that I can't have children, so pregnancy isn't really a worry for us.
I always insist on condoms until I know that we are both clean, or if we seeing other partners who we aren't fluid bonded with. My current Partner is married and his wife and I talk about our sexual health regularly, she really feels the same way I do about the whole condom issue.

I really don't like the feel of condoms. I've tried a lot of different kinds and never found one worth using a second time. Nothing compares to the natural feel. I'm on the pill, and willing to risk that 1% chance.

For me condoms were just individually-wrapped UTI activators in a box. Hated them.

I said yes, as there was no other. Safety first, but it would be nice to not use them

Sex with a condom is like eating candy with the wrapper still on.

I am NOT a fan of condoms at all... It's just a mental thing for me, I don't like them. I've tried female contraceptives and they're even worse though, I never recommend them to anyone. I've been having sex for a few years now and I'm finally comfortable not wearing a condom while taking birth control pills though--after all, the main reason I got them was so that I didn't have to wear a condom!

No condoms. We are married and she is on birth control. COndoms suck haha

I say sometimes for a few reasons:
My partner is on the pill, and we are both disease free, so we normally do not use condoms. We also practice coitus interruptus (pull-out).
Unless I have recently had an orgasm, or not irrigated my urethra since my last orgasm, in which case we use a condom.

Ugh, it's true, I hate the feel of condoms. The smell sucks, the sticky lube they come with usually feels awful. Even if there's adequate lube, the friction is always different in an unpleasant way...almost plasticky
01/18/2013
Condoms feel gross and oily and sometimes the colors look unappealing.
I acknowledge they're good for safety reasons, though. i.e. to avoid STIs.
It depends. I've only ever done it without a condom, but sometimes use condoms on toys. Idk how that works out

We use condoms...been through stuff without them, so I prefer to be safe. Besides, my birth control just messed with my emotions too much and I haven't had the ability to get on something other than ortho yet. Things might change once I do, but who knows, they might not.
01/18/2013
Don't like the oily feel of some, don't like the color of many, don't like how difficult it is to put on some sex toys, don't like how they make cleaning toys a bother
Do like how they make me feel safer, how they're fun to collect and look at in the packaging, wearing them as necklaces

Condoms make me feel safer. Unless I have been with a partner for a very long time and feel confident about my birth control method, I refuse to have sex without a condom.
02/12/2013
I'm on the pill and condoms also kind of irritated my lady parts so I voted no. When we first stopped using condoms my boyfriend was a bit anxious but after over 5 years of us being on the pill and having no babies he's fine with it now. He didn't like using condoms either because they were pretty tight on him.

As a nurse I strongly encourage the use of condoms if you are not in a monogamous relationship (one that you are confident there is no chance they are sleeping with someone else) and that person has been STD screened (where you have seen the results) since their last time having sex with someone else
Or if you don't want to get pregnant. Birth control is not 100% effective and there are a number of other things that can make it less effective.
