using lube/condom

[quietgrl]

I keep hearing stories about women being allergic to lube and condom at one time in their life and i was wondering is that a "normal" reaction.My other question is to the men on the board.Has any man had an allergic reaction to latex condom?

i have never had any kind of reaction to lube or to condoms, i havnt used a condom in like 6 years but as far as lube and women are concerned i have never seen a women having any kind of reaction to it. if you need it and end up buying some i recommend spending a little extra money and getting the good stuff, its much better all around

yes, people can be allergic to just about anything, including lube and latex. but they have condoms that are made of things other than latex, and different kinds of lubes. just shop around for a different product if there is trouble with it.

I notice women being allergic to lube and condom but i have never heard of a man being allergic to lube or condom

It happens just isnt as often as you do a female because you have to think, while yea the guys penis is a sensitive area its not quite as sensitive as a womans part..

If more women are allergic to latex that may just be a coincidence. Generally those who develop an allergy to latex are those that are exposed to it frequently as in frequent hospitalizations where they are handled with latex gloves, workers whom work with latex frequently such as health care workers, and those with food allergies to foods such as avocados, potatoes, bananas, tomatoes, chestnuts, kiwi fruit, and papaya are more prone to have a latex allergy.

 

As far as the lube goes, it may just be a sensitivity to certain componants in the lube- just like if a person is more sensitive to a skin product/makeup/perfume that they use- and it stands to reason that since women tend to use more of these products they are more likely to develop sensitivities to them.
