Intimate Protection: Condoms, Dental Dams and Other Allies of Safe Pleasure

Ok, let's be clear: safe sex is sexy. There's nothing more attractive than a partner who knows how to take care of themselves and the other person. 😏 But protecting yourself doesn't just mean using the classic condom. The world of intimate protection is bigger than you think! So, if you want to enjoy pleasure without worries, here's the definitive guide on condoms, dental dams and other protection tools. 🔥

🏆 1. Condoms: The King of Protection

The male condom is the most famous and used, but did you know that there are different types, materials and characteristics?

💡 Which one to choose?

✅ In latex → The most common, elastic and resistant.
✅ Latex-free (polyurethane, polyisoprene) → Perfect for allergy sufferers!
✅ Ultra-thin → For greater sensitivity (almost like not having one).
✅ Stimulating → With reliefs or textures to increase pleasure.
✅ Delay Agents → With a light anesthetic to prolong the game.
✅ Flavored → Perfect for oral sex, with flavors ranging from fruity to chocolatey.

⚠️ Attention!

• Never use oil or Vaseline with latex , they will break it! A water-based or silicone-based lubricant is better.
• Always check the expiration date (yes, even condoms expire).

💡 Pro Tip: If you want maximum safety, choose condoms with spermaticidal lubricant.

💁‍♀️ 2. Female condom: the little-known alternative

Surprise: there is also a female condom!

🔹 What is it? A thin polyurethane glove that is inserted into the vagina before intercourse.
🔹 Why use it?
✅ It protects as much as the male one.
✅ It can be inserted before intercourse, without "interruptions" at the peak moment.
✅ You are not dependent on the use of your partner.

🔹 Against?
🤔 It is less common, so it can be difficult to find in stores.

💡 Pro Tip: If you want to try it, start with a little lube to make insertion easier.

😘 3. Dental Dam: The Superhero of Oral Sex

Have you ever heard of a dental dam ? If not, don't panic: you're in good company! But trust us, it's a secret weapon for safe oral sex.

🔹 What is it? A thin sheet of latex (or polyurethane) that is placed between the mouth and the intimate area during cunnilingus or rimming.
🔹 Why use it?
✅ Protects against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
✅ Maintains contact without risks.
✅ There are also flavored ones , for a more pleasant experience.

💡 Pro Tip: If you don't have a dental dam handy, you can cut a condom and open it up like a sheet. It still works!

🍑 4. Latex gloves: for the safest touch

Yes, latex gloves aren’t just for doctors! If you love manual stimulation (especially anal), a glove is a smart choice.

✅ Protects against microcuts and bacteria (especially for anal sex).
✅ Reduces the risk of STI transmission .
✅ Make play easier with lubricants (latex holds water-based products better).

💡 Pro Tip: For a smoother experience, use powder-free gloves and pair them with a good lube.

⚡ 5. Sex Toys and Protection: Yes, it's necessary!

If you think sex toys are immune to infection… think again! They need protection too.

🔹 How to protect yourself?
✅ Use a condom on shared sex toys.
✅ Avoid switching a toy from anal to vaginal without washing it first!
✅ Always clean your toys before and after use.

💡 Pro Tip: If you want to share your sex toys with your partner, choose non-porous materials (medical silicone, glass, steel) for easier cleaning.

🤔 6. Which protection should I choose?

It depends on what you are looking for! Here is a quick summary to help you choose the best solution:

💥 For penetrative sex? → Male or female condom
💋 For oral sex? → Dental dam or flavored condoms
🍑 For anal sex? → Condom + lots of lube

🔥Safe sex isn't just protection, it's freedom!
