Sexual gratification is both a psychological and physical game, and condoms are made to protect you and your partner from unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. Wearing a condom is a sign of trust and love. It's saying to your partner, "I care enough to give you ultimate pleasure and protect us from any unplanned consequences." Once worry is out of the equation, you're free to concentrate on giving or receiving the most pleasurable bedroom moments.
But for some women, penetration involving a traditional condom can make it more difficult to climax. The natural warm feeling of the penis is unfortunately covered and restricted, which may prevent your partner from feeling your full intensity.
To fix this downside, manufacturers created dotted condoms to increase sensation during intercourse. Other textures such as ribs, studs, or a combination of two are also available. The dots are strategically placed around the shaft to give extra friction, leading to a tingling sensation and enjoyment for the receiving partner.
Dotted condoms add extra excitement for both you and your partner, making for an intensely satisfying experience and a confidence boost that goes a long way in spicing up your sex life. If you're looking for more fun between the sheets, here are a few factors to consider when buying dotted condoms.
Factors to Consider when Choosing Dotted Condoms
Size Matters
For protection as well as pleasure, it's extremely important to get a fitting condom. Too small, and it risks breakage during use, or numbs sensation. Too large, and it risks slipping off — and constantly pulling it back up is no fun.
An ill-fitting condom can cause loss of erection, difficulty climaxing, and puts you both at risk. Measure to get the right size so it delivers the right snug fit, a longer-lasting erection, and a deeper fullness — so the dots press properly during sex. When it fits well, you no longer worry about breakage or slip-off, leaving you free to focus on the pleasure.
Consider an Ultra-thin Design
The point of a dotted condom is to increase sensation. An ultra-thin design makes it more pleasurable for both of you — the thin coating mimics the feeling of wearing nothing at all, allowing more heat transfer for a more sensual session, while the dots increase friction and excitement for your partner.
When choosing the design, pay attention to the pattern of the dots. Designs with more texture toward the base of the shaft increase stimulation where it counts.
Consider a Climax-Control Advantage
As much as you want to please your partner, it helps to think about yourself too. The extra friction of dotted condoms can be intense, so consider one with climax control — coated with a mild numbing lubricant that reduces sensitivity and delays ejaculation, helping you last longer.
Just be careful when putting it on so you don't transfer the numbing effect to your partner.
Consider Sensational Dotted Condoms
Beyond friction, sensational condoms add a warming, tingling, or cooling sensation to the whole experience, heightening excitement for both partners. Try the different sensations to discover which one intensifies your play best.
Consider the Material
Dotted condoms are commonly made from latex, polyisoprene, or polyurethane. Latex is the most common, but some people are allergic — polyisoprene and polyurethane make great alternatives. All are non-porous and effective at preventing pregnancy and STDs. Just check the expiration date before use; condoms deteriorate over time.
