Newbie Condom concern

[Guest R**do***in]

Ok, I've tried searching the board to find an answer to this question.

Please forgive me if it has been answered alread

 

As some who is new to this and wanting to be safe

 

Is it a industry standard to "assume" your SP has the condom(s)

 

I feel that I wouldn't want to show up with a incorrect brand and offend any SP.

 

Do we as Gents leave it to the SP to take care of "cover" ?

I'm not sure how you would offend an SP with the wrong brand? If you showed up with anything from one of the major reputable brands such as Trojan, Durex, Lifestyles...etc, I'm sure you will be more than fine. Unless of course you had one that looked like it had spent a few years sitting in your wallet or it was a "no-name" brand that resembled a cheap party favour.

 

I would hate the generalize, but it seems that any responsible SP will be prepared and have some condoms handy.

 

But looking at it from a different perspective, with there being so many different body types, shapes and sizes; if there is a specific brand and style that suits you best, it's probably in your best interest to show up with a few. It just might be the difference in making it the best experience for yourself and the SP!

It has been my experience to have an unopened box of condoms rather than a couple loose ones. It gives the ladies an added measure of security that they have not been tampered with.

 

Some ladies will take requests if you have a particular brand or style preference.

 

Don't be shy about asking the lady about her condom preference (or yours) when setting up the appointment.

 

Remember to ask first. She may have an allergy or sensitivity to some brands, spermicides, and lubricants used.

The short answer is yes, it is industry standard ;)

 

I cannot speak for everyone but I would have to say that most, if not all the ladies provide the condoms and some are very well prepared; some of us have different brands and sizes (and flavours for CBJ) available to accomodate a gentleman's preference/need.

 

This might be a little off topic but worth mentioning:

If you were ever concerned about, for example, let's say size, you should communicate your concern to the lady in question and she might just go out and buy what you need (if she doesn't already have it) or she might tell you to go buy a brand new box (keep the receipt in the bag to show her you just bought the box of condoms). Most ladies will prefer option one as they will be 100% certain the condoms have not been tempered with or left in an uncontrolled environment (heat or cold). I always prefer to buy my own also because I am allergic to certain products (spermicide) they add to certain types of condoms and the results are not pleasant at all.

 

Something else to consider: she might be allergic to latex so latex-free condoms will be nessecary... Flavoured condoms might be a no-no for intercourse as her body might not tolerate the sugar and that will cause an infection, etc.

 

Good luck with your new quest!
