Knowledge about sexual health, sexually transmitted diseases
(STIs) and safe sex has increased in recent times. Condoms still
remain the most effective and easy to use method for
preventing unplanned pregnancies and STIs. So as a savvy,
health conscious young person you have bought a pack of the new
Gold Circle Flex® in anticipation for an intimate experience
with your partner.
At the height of the romantic mood you reach for the condom and
your partner starts to protest. In our previous article we talked
about how to negotiate condom use, you can read it here if you
missed it. We have a few tips that will crank up the heat in the
bedroom (or where ever you prefer to get busy), make condom use
an erotic experience for both of you and guarantee that your
partner will be asking for a repeat performance sometime in the
near future.
1. Before you try out any sexual acrobatics, master the basic way
to open and put on a condom. Gold Circle Flex®, and most
other condoms, has an insert that describes the correct way to put
on and remove a condom. The pack also has a serrated edge that
makes it easy to open. Do not use your teeth to open. It is taken
for granted that men know how to put on and remove a condom.
This is often not true. Both men and women need to practice on
their own before bringing it to the bedroom where the rush of the
moment might make things a little difficult to get a handle on.
Cucumbers and bananas are some props women can use to practice.
2 . A little lubricant goes a long way to improve sensation for both
partners. Don’t use too much or it will cause the condom to slide
off. Also make sure the lubricant you use is water based. Gold
Circle Flex® comes already lubricated so a tiny dab before the
condom goes on is all you need.
3. Give your imagination free rein. From naughty talk to using
appendages other than your hands to put on the condom, let your
partner tell you their fantasy and don’t be shy to act on your own
fantasies. The key here is to know your partner and what he/she
wants. We polled opinions and; feet, your mouth and breasts are a
few other appendages that can be employed to put on a condom.
4. Toys are allowed in the bedroom; ribbed condoms like Gold
Circle Flex® create added sensation. If you can bear even
more pleasure you can introduce sex toys like the vibrating ring.
This is a (usually) plastic ring that fits at the end of the shaft
around the base of the condom. There are different types; most
have a nub that faces the clitoris and heightens pleasure for both the
man and the woman.
5. Try different positions; putting the condom on from behind or
from a 69 position is sure to get both of you stimulated in ways
conventional positions would not.
6. Patience has its rewards; orgasm control, or edging as it is
popularly called, is a sexual technique that involves maintaining a
heightened state of sexual arousal for as long as possible before
reaching orgasm. Edging prolongs the pleasurable sensation that is
usually experienced in the build up to orgasm. If you have the will
power to try this technique, you can use other means of arousal
and slip the condom on for coitus when his nerve endings are at
their most sensitized just before you both make the decision to
orgasm. This creates a greater and more pleasurable experience for
you both.
Using condoms does not have to be awkward or any less fun. In
fact, with these tips, you would probably think all your fantasies
have come true. The ribbed and strawberry flavored Gold
Circle Flex® is designed with features to maximize pleasure
and enhance satisfaction. It ensures pleasurable safety while you
build trust and commitment in your relationship. Gold Circle
Flex® is available in major malls, supermarkets and pharmacies
near you and is sold at a very affordable one hundred and fifty
naira.
