You are probably asking yourself what the hell would a married man with 3 children know about condoms? especially when you realise that the same man and his wife are in the process of trying for child number 4 (not at this particular moment of time I may add, maybe after I finish writing this article though) wink wink!

I will answer your question though of how I got to know so much about condoms and it probably is not in the way that you think.

I was walking through my local town centre one Saturday about 15 years ago, at the tender age of 20 something or other, when a stunning red head approached me, I thought to myself "it's my lucky day" until i noticed the red clipboard that she was carrying, and she asked me if I would mind answering a few questions for a consumer survey, I replied yes and she started asking me the normal questions, name address, marital status, I had hoped that when I answered single that she would start flirting with me but there wasn't even a glimmer of a spark in her eyes. then she started asking about my shopping habits do I buy brand names or store labels and so on and so on, after the interview she thanked me and informed me that for my participation in the survey I would be entered into a prize draw where I could win up to £5000.00 worth of the Items discussed during the survey.

I forgot all about the survey until about 6 months later I recieved a letter, thanking me for taking part and congratulations you have won 4th prize in the prize draw for those who participted in the survey and to please expect a package delivery in the next few days.

I couldn't wait, I was very excited and I told all of my friends and family that I was to recieve a prize, My Mom and Dad were over the moon, and they were as excited as I was.

Every day for the next week I eagerly awaited the mailman, Monday nothing, Tuesday nothing, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, no mail on Sunday and finally on the next Monday The Package arrived, Mom rushed to the door to  greet the mailman and signed for it, came back in and handed it to me, she was very proud of my achievement and my dad although he didn't say anything showed a glimmer of pride in his eyes too, that pride soon turned to shock and then they were both rolling around the floor in a fit of laughter as I slowly opened the package to reveal my Fourth prize, I opened the attached letter first, all it said was "congratulations, we at surveys are us hope that you will make good use of your prize."

I opened the package to reveal a box, it was a very nice stylish white wooden box with brass edging about the same size as a cigar box and My mom piped up "ooh! it looks like a nice cutlery set," I agreed and set about the cellophane wrapping, I opened the box and found another box inside, this time the room went silent for what seemed like an eternity, then in unison my Mom, my Dad and myself were rolling around the floor.

I had won a selection of 250 condoms, I like the note accompanying them was hoping to make good use of them too.

There were Regular condoms, flavoured condoms, ribbed condoms, spiked condoms, they came in different textures and different colors and some had strategicaly placed bumps on them, there were even some condoms that glowed in the dark.

Even to this day I get remarks about my wonderful fourth place prize.

So now you know why I know so much about condoms even though I am a married man with three kids trying for a fourth.

Most men if you ask them would say that they dont like condoms because the most common reason is that they have less sensation during intercourse and it doesn't feel as good for them.

Dont listen to those feeble excuses, yes there maybe a litte less sensation but not enough to spoil the experience and with less sensation down below it adds the advantage of helping him to last that little bit longer to help satisfy his partner more.

Before I go into reviewing the different types of condoms I must stress that if you are expecting any explicit sexual content you should visit a porn site because you will be sorely dissapointed with this article.

I must also stress that this was a long time before I met my Future wife.

and I did have a regular girlfriend at the time who was more than willing to try them out with me.

Flavoured condoms are just regular condoms with added color and flavoring, they come in many tastes from all types of fruit, cola, chocolate and in alcohol flavours, being a Scot I liked the idea of whisky flavoured condoms.

They work the same way as regular condoms, you hold the tip and roll them on to the erect penis.

Flavour you can taste the flavour but the spermicide taste from the condom overpowers the flavoring after a minute or so.

Dotted and ribbed condoms are similar to regular condoms but on the outside they have a dotted surface or a regularly spaced ribbing along the shaft, on they feel just like a regular condom but, when in use they tickle the girl inside giving her a little more pleasure.

These became a favorite in that relationship more than any other.

If I was using condoms today these are the ones that I would buy

Spiked and Bumpy Condoms do feel slightly different,although they do not retract fron the pleasure or the excitement of the experience, they add no extra pleasure to the male but they are very effective with the lady,sending her wild.

they may look like something out of the torture chamber but they are made from soft latex and are made for her pleasure without the pain.

Glow in the dark condoms are great if you want to have a little fun in the bedroom, but rather than enhance the moment they had us laughing so hard that the electricity was lost between us and the moment was gone.

good for power outages when you can use them to find your way around in the dark. or if you ar trying to save the planet you could switch off the lights and cozy up together and read a good book.

It was a fun time for both of us, infact it was so enjoyable for her that when we split the white wooden box with the brass edging around the same size as a cigar box, that I had won for fourth place in a prize draw dissapeared never to be seen by me again.
