Phil, 28, male condom
We keep plenty around, so we always have them.
You can’t argue with Phil and his girlfriend when they say condoms are easy to get and use. We also love Phil’s observation that they help guys last longer.
Sure, he’ll admit there’s a little loss of sensation, but he thinks it’s totally a reasonable price to pay to be safe. And his girlfriend likes that condoms are a hormone-free birth control method.
A lot of guys knock condoms because they are like a barrier when you want things to be really tactile and intimate. But for Phil, he knows that benefits like protecting against STIs and pregnancy far outweigh not using a condom when it counts.
