    Ah, can't see it anymore on their profile when the last login was--just when the last post was.

    My apologies. Carry on, then.

    Latex alternatives are nessessarily natural skin.

    Polyethylene condoms will block STD's as well as Latex for those with latex allergies, but natural skin types don't. One should not assume that they are safe for one night stands (natural skin ones).

    I appears they do... read on:

    Lambskin

    Condoms made from one of the oldest condom materials, labeled "lambskin" (made from lamb intestines) are still available. They have a greater ability to transmit body warmth and tactile sensation, when compared to synthetic condoms, and are less allergenic than latex. However, there is an increased risk of transmitting STDs compared to latex because of pores in the material, which are thought to be large enough to allow infectious agents to pass through, albeit blocking the passage of sperm.[86] Lambskin condoms are also significantly more expensive than other types.

    I linked the polyethylene ones.

    Polyethylene is a matériel also used in plastic grocery bags. (though the condom is much more effective than a plastic grocery bag and I recommend the condom more than the bag as a form of birth control.)

    Actually, Red Cross found that many people are allergic to latex gloves (latex being the key world not 'gloves'). So as of Jan. lst we are only allowed to use the blue nitrite gloves. Could be the OP's g/f was allergic to latex, that's why he was asking. Its too bad people can't be specific in these posts and misunderstandings wouldn't arise. IMO if that was the case here.

    I don't know if it's a method of birth control but there are men I would only consider having sex with if they had a paper bag (or plastic, I suppose) over their head.

    Is this what you mean?:D

    Your poor bunny avatar...

    This is why I don't think non-fda approved birth control works

    Though I have heard a lot of condom misuse stories that hurt the bunny more...

    4 teens 1 condom

    1st couple put it on

    2nd couple then turned it inside out and used it again

    The second couple got pregnant by the first couple

    They need better health classes in Texas...

    But one very interesting day as a pharm tech

    Heck, FDA approved birth control is not 100% effective either. I can name many many people who followed directions to the T and still have children.
