This Trojan condom commercial demonstrates the kind of shift in consciousness that has to take place in today’s sexually liberated yet diseased world. More people are waking up to the fact that today’s sexual encounters can come back to haunt you many years later with incurable results.

The primary male resistance to condoms centers on the lack of feeling. The New England Journal of Medicine reported that 41 percent of respondents said they don’t use condoms because they reduce pleasure. This seems to hold true over the long term. In 1996 the Journal of Psychology and Human Sexuality pointed to decreased pleasure as the number one reason for not using condoms.

Well, people are working on this and there are even places where there are condom reviews. There are new condom designs showing up that are backed by clinical trials showing how much more enjoyment people claim to have from using them. The reviewers include you too, ladies. By the way, many women also complain of the lack of feeling associated with condom use.

There are also cultural factors reported here that are involved in condom use, or non-use. For example people under 25 often associate condoms with a lack of trust. They also believe that someone who carries them has sexual experience – perhaps positive for the boys, but often not so for the girls. What is most telling is that young people decide whether or not to use condoms based upon appearances and how well they know the potential partner. It’s interesting how it is harder for us to think of someone who is clean and well dressed as being diseased.

Poorly fitting condoms is one main reason that condoms fail to do their job. One company has come up with a solution by taking the one-size-fits-all approach out of the equation. Another reason for condom failure is slippage but there is a product that can deal with that too. So, the list of reasons NOT to use condoms is getting smaller and smaller.
