Condoms: Shapes, Scents and Sizes
Condoms are sheaths made of thin and elastic rubber or polyurethane used during sexual intercourse. There are condoms available for both men and women. Male condoms are worn over the penis during intercourse and are put on while the penis is at its excited state. Female condoms are worn inside the vagina and are kept in place by two flexible rings at both ends. Female condoms can be put before intercourse.
There are now colored male condoms available in the market. They come in red, green, rainbow colors, neon colors and even glow in the dark colors. Colored condoms are said to make sex more passionate. This is because they give a “twist” or an already ordinary method of contraception and STD prevention.
Condoms also come in different scents and flavors. There are strawberry, banana, apple scented condoms. There are even mint flavored and chocolate flavored condoms. Scented and flavored condoms are usually used in oral sex to prevent transmission of sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/AIDS through from sexual fluids to the mouth.
Although they are very elastic, condoms come in different sizes to perfectly fit the penis. There are certain races whose men have generally bigger penis sizes than men in other races. So sometimes, the phrase “one size fits all” is actually geographically dependent.
Condom manufacturers have also come up with different condom designs. In addition to colored and scented colors, they have developed ribbed, dotted, and even studded condoms available for one’s own preference.
