Top 6 reasons why safe sex is so much more pleasurable
Generally, in school we’re taught about how safe sex is key to avoiding life and health altering implications like unwanted pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections or Diseases (STI/STDs), but they never spoke about the pleasures and enjoyment that comes with having safe sex.
Due to being misguided, many teenagers become adults who practice in non-safe ways because they think it’s more pleasurable when it can cause more problems than orgasms — so we’ve come up with the top 6 reasons why safe sex can make your night that much more enjoyable!
Preparation is key
You’ve had a great night with your partner and things start to get a little heated when you go home together – there’s deep kissing, touching and light hair tugging – you’re both ready to hit the sheets for a heated session. The lighting is right, your bedroom is free from any floor-drobe mess, and you wore their favourite perfume; you both get undressed and into bed, continually kissing… but wait, where did you put the condoms? Your bedside table? Nope. Underwear drawer? Nope. The bathroom cabinet? Nope!
Breaking away from the love-haze with your partner to search the whole house for protection might deflate the mood (and something else). My advice is while you get yourself and bedroom ready for potential sex before your date, remember to have the condoms within reach and ready to go for minimal searching and maximum pleasure!
Give yourself peace of mind
It probably goes without saying, but we’re going to say it anyway: whether you’ve had sex without using a condom and were on a form of contraception such as the pill, IUD, rod, or just doing the ol’ pull out, your chances of contracting or transmitting an STD or becoming pregnant are way higher than when you use a condom in conjunction with female contraception.
There might be a moment when you think you’re having the best sex of your life, sans condom, but for you and your partner we know there’s a little voice at the back of your mind warning you that you could get pregnant or contract something not so sexy. Give yourself and your partner peace of mind knowing you’re well protected – then you can focus on having a great time instead of the consequences of your orgasm.
Time to get ribbed
Condoms aren’t just a plastic thing to wrap around your ding-a-ling! While they serve to protect against STDs and pregnancy, condoms can actually make sex more fun, if you know which ones to choose!
If you’re looking to spice things up in the bedroom, why not try a ribbed condom that adds friction to your sex session in the best way. It creates a more sensual experience for both lovers and livens up the ride – check out the Dotted Condoms for more information.
Flavourful fun for everyone
Foreplay is one of the best ways to ensure a pleasurable night for you and your partner; the lead up to sex is fantastic to get your libido going and allows for a long night of fun, rather than a 30-second pop off! Why not take your foreplay game to the next level and introduce flavoured condoms to the mix?
Being protected during oral means there’s a lower risk of catching anything your partner may or may not know they have! Taking away the taste of rubber and adding a sense of Cola or Watermelon to oral can make you and your partner’s experience that much tastier – you’ll be able to really get into it and enjoy your fave flavour while driving your partner crazy!
Anal-yse this
Whether it be for pleasure, being practical or wanting to try something new, having anal sex doesn’t mean all caution can be thrown to the wind! While you obviously can’t get preggers from anal, diseases can still be transmitted or received this way, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Another great reason why you should use protection with anal is the pleasure factor – especially if it’s your first time attempting it! Moments Condoms are built for safety and pleasure for both partners, they’re doused in lubricant to make sure you’re all set, even if you’re not so wet.
Slippery when wet
Speaking of lubricant, have you used any lately? It might not seem necessary if you or your partner seem to get pretty squirt-emoji when you get down and dirty, but adding lube to the mix can actually protect the condom a lot more, thus safer sex and more enjoyment.
Did you know if there’s too much friction or if you switch positions frequently it can cause the condom to break down and eventually give way? Let’s be honest, condoms aren’t bulletproof though ours are pretty lubed-up, by adding more you can make your night much better by making it wetter! Try a flavoured lube to add to your oral or simply find a sweet fragrant lube that works for you both.
