When the condom broke...

[starzysky.livejournal.com]

What were YOU doing when the condom broke?

Were things kinda dry?  Was it in some crazy position?  Was it at the end of a 45 minute romp in the hay?

I'm just curious b/c I've never had a condom break & I've never even felt like it could break.  But now I'm basically using condoms only for birth control, so it would be nice to hear if there were any common problems that cause breakage....

TIA!

It's true, though, isn't it. Rogering form behind + non-latex condom (I was using Durex Avanti) = broken condoms. I've also noticed that the factor "Wide cock" acts as a catalyst in the "Broken condom" reaction!

Also, non-latex condom + girl on top = condom escaping and getting lodged inside girl. It was hilarious. Fantastic things, these non-latex condoms. If I had any other option, I'd go for it, but alas! I am allergic to latex.

Yay, rompage!

Avanti here too. And yeah, those wide pipes definitely make the pipe-laying a bit more, um, adventurous, as far as condom useage goes. ;)

I've had the escaping issue as well with them. I make a practice of reaching down/back/under and checking regularly to make sure the silly things are still ON when frolicking. This time, I didn't even know the damn thing had broken because everything still felt kosher at the base --- it had totally broken at the TIP and was only discovered after the fact. A bit of crying over 'spilled milk' that time due to having to relay the incident to our respective primary partners. oops.

I'm allergic to latex too, so my only options are of the non-latex variety... the Avantis, the Trojan Supras, or the female condoms (which I haven't tried yet, but I think I might soon for other reasons).

I assume that's polyurethane for non-latex? The lambskin ones... 10 years, no breaks. (Also no slip-outs that didn't leave the end of the condom outside and grabbable before any of the wrigglers made a break for it.)

Of course, the lambskin ones aren't suitable for disease-prevention.

And we weren't using them in combination with desks or pianos.

Yep, polyurethane. I've never heard of lambskin ones. Are they actually made of lambskin? :O

[archangelbeth]

Trojan Naturalamb is the brand, I believe, but they don't advertise them on their site! (This makes me twitchy.) Yes, I believe they are actually made of lamb intestines, just like the olden times. Only without being tied with ribbons. (Being made of lamb/sheep may be why they're not on the site right now...) They probably don't have as much stretch as other kinds, but they're very tough.

LOL, yeah, they're made of lamb intestinal membrane (http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/1835.html). First time I had sex my partner accidentally bought them (was nervous @ the store and didn't read the box). Which was especially funny since I was/am a vegetarian. (We used them anyway.)
