Femidom

Sexual Health

An interesting and worthwhile development in safe sex from South Africa:

The female condom, or Femidom, is leaving behind its image as an unsexy plastic bag, and instead gaining a racier reputation as a sex toy. Women in developed countries may have crossed their legs at the sight of the Femidom, but their sisters in areas with high levels of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases are more appreciative.

The Femidom is the only female-controlled barrier against HIV -- and is more accepted by men who may refuse to use a male condom. This is possibly because the female condom can be put into place hours before any action occurs, thus removing the “kill the passion” moment, when a male condom is brought into play.

Recently an as-yet unpublished study in South Africa found that 80% of men liked the female condom, and the same percentage of women agreed. The men commented that female condoms did not reduce sensation as much as the male condom, and were preferable and less constricting. There are anecdotal reports that men don’t always know that a Femidom is being used.

Or did you arrive here without noticing the "i"?

Safe sex without the squeak

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Femidom. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
