Oh there's tons of kinds. I would just go shopping and see what you find. Some you have to put in ahead of time, some you use like lube, some are a film, some are a gel, you'll just have to see what you can find and read the directions Wink.

Just be careful, some women (including me) get really irritated and sore when I use spermicide.

Good for you for being so careful though!

Well it's not necessarily going to happen to you, it's just fairly common, so watch out for it. Yeah, in grocery stores and target and stuff, by the condoms. Or drugs stores. If you can't find much, you can always look online- there's everything you could want online!

I'm glad I've been helpful. Smile

you might be able to find some at a sex shop? I am not really sure.

You could try the spremicide on yourself while you arent having sex that way you can see what it does and it wont ruin the mood if it starts to burn or irritate you. Or maybe right before a shower you could rub some on yourself. No one likes a fun sex session to end like that.

its normal to be embarresed. Its taken me awhile to get over those fears too. But with a trusting partner it can turn into a lot of fun and even a form of foreplay. My hubby and I sometimes just go look at the sex shops and by the time we get home we are all over each other. Just make fun of it and it wont seem like the big responsibility it is. Over time you will feel more comfortable.

I used to be really embarrassed too. I remember once my husband and I (we weren't yet married) went to a gas station to buy condoms and picked up some superglue as well (we broke something, I can't remember) so we got up to the counter with condoms and superglue and I looked at the girl and I was like "these won't be used together" lol.

ok, so it's not really that funny. Laughing
