First of all, to address your question about if sex feels different with a condom. In my experience, the difference is barely felt.

I've always stuck to trojan. They seem to be the best for me.

They can range in price... You can buy them in packs of 3, 6, 12, or, in some cases 24, so the price is all based on that. You can easily look at condoms at your local pharmacy. They should be readily displayed.
As for different kinds: there are flavoured condoms, coloured condoms, ribbed condoms, female condoms etc. etc.

You can also probably get condoms for free from any health unit or, if you're in highschool, your school nurse should have them.

Durex Easy-On Pleasuremax are quite good. They're, like the name suggests, easy to get on and have a slight ribbed effect to offer extra stimulation.

*Durex Extra Sensitive: I've tried some, not many. they feel the best. Not too much lube on them, have never been broken on me.
*you can get them on ebay pretty cheap (about 20c each)
*have not tried many.

Well of cause there is the difference. If a guy knows what he is doing there is a huge difference for girls too.

With every guy I've been with, there has been a difference for them and a difference for me. I've tried using some thin trojan condoms but I've had some bad experiences with them so I stick to the normal kind. I personally don't like them, but won't refuse them.

My husband says that he can tell a difference with a condom and deffinately prefers sex with out one. I also prefer sex with out a condom which is why I'm getting an IUD. We tried trojans and durex but lately we'v been using the Lifestyles triple pleasure which feel much better than the others.

To Tell You The Truth
I never felt I had to use a condom. Even after my husband died, I wasn't expecting to have any kind of a sexual relationship. Three years down the road, here I meet somebody. I had never been with anybody but my husband, not a problem with pregnancy risk, and we had sex.

It was over a year later that I found myself with a terrible vaginal infection, and the revelation that he had a new partner, that I went in to be tested.

Fact is I have HPV from unprotected sex with the high risk types.

The new girlfriend says she is fine, he says he is fine, it just must be me. My pap tests came back fine not that long ago.

Condoms may not feel quite the same, but I can tell you, use them. Protect yourselves.

For me, the difference without and without one is very minor.
I use the ultra sensitive 'one' brand condoms. The brand name is simply 'one'. People seem to get confused when I tell them that, they come in a tin can.

Anyhow, the only difference my gf notices is the fact that I'm bigger. I guess the condoms restrict the size a bit. I tried the magnums, but they're not much of a difference. They're more comfortable, I can say that much. But the difference in experience is not worth the price unless you REALLY need it. Some lube fixes the comfort issues just fine with normal condoms.

my boyfriend says that its much better without a condom..HOWEVER unless you are in a stable,trusting, monogomous relationship i would STRONGLY suggest using condoms..you MUST protect yourself from STDs..sad fact:many people infected w/an STD may not even be showing symptoms yet they can STILL pass the STD on to you!!!be careful!yes the bacterial STDs can be cleared however you wouldn't want to contract herpes or HIV or even HPV which can effect your next partner...ok..off my soap box...*I* bein female could also tell a difference w/o the condom..the condoms irritated me..not sure why..but thats why im on birth control now....anyway..just be smart..all these people preaching not to use condoms are probably in a serious stable relatioship..if you're just gonna have sex w/a random girl ALWAYS ALWAYS bring a rubber...trojans are good Smile
