Hello Susan. My b/f and I was about to have sex and he noticed that the condom was expired, its been terminated since April 10th, that's only a couple days shy of being 2 months old. He asked me what I wanted to do and I said lets use it anyway. Yes, I do acknowledge it was a careless decision on my part but I'm now wondering what is the risk of getting pregnant? Is it high/low? The condom looked and felt fine but that probably doesn't prove much since you can't see visible tears with the naked eye but what are my chances anyway? I've been making dumb decions lately. Anyway Thanks.

2 months is nothing to worry about. But it is dumb to take the risk. Do you want to be pregnant? Abortions are definitely nothing to look forward to. If you are going to have sex you have got to stop make dumb choices or stop having sex. This dumb choice won't do any harm, but the next one might.

No, I def. do not want to get pregnant at all now! I still have a year left of college, I'm 21, my parents would kill me, well of course ot literally but I would be put to shame since they are strict about meeting the 'right' guy, blah blah blah; they still believe i'm a virgin. We haven't spoken about it but I don't go out that much to be having sex like that lol. It's relaly none of their ocncern anyway. Ok, good to know 2 months is not bad. I won't take anymore risks. My question is, what brand is the best condom, which would you recommend? I want to purchas a pack w/ about 50 condoms, there's this great website but I don't know which condom to pick from. I'm not worried about any special kinds like thw lubricated, rugged, her pleasure onces etc, I simply want one that protects against pregnancy. So which would you recommend Susan to be the best kind of condom there is? Also do yu have the package on your website. Thanks!

Only partial answer...talk to your local pharmacy....get their recommendation....many brands have been around for years and are very reliable. You will need to get the right SIZE also.

Oh goodness, MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT SIZE!
I was stuck with a small condom once, it made sex completely uncomfortable, was hard to put on and even HURT to put on.

You guys are over-rating the size issue. Unless a guy is very large or very small - size makes no difference as long as you get a regular size condom. If you are large around - get large ones, if you are small around - get small ones. Length really doesn't matter - a typical condom can cover a guy any woman is willing to let near her.

Lifestyles Ultra Sensitive Condoms $11.00/ 9 condoms
Your typical condom with lubrication. Best choice if you don't know what you want or need. These are the ones I buy for my son.

Thanks all! Nice mom to buy him condoms The size thing, hes 5 inches so any reg. size wil do.

You mentioned that you're in college...If you can't figure out what size condom to buy and you've never used them before (this may not apply to you because you've already had sex) you might consider trying your student health center (as long as you're not attending a religious school or a small college with fewer resources). They often offer free condoms and you can at least try out the kinds they have there to see if you like one. I was involved in a program in my dorm called Student Health Advocates, which basically meant that I learned CPR/first aid, had OTC medicine for people with headaches/colds, and gave out free condoms to anyone who wanted them at (almost) any time of day. Maybe your school has something similar. Another good place to buy condoms is from reputable sex toy shops (I go to Good Vibrations out here in Northern California). They sell condoms individually, so my boyfriend and I got a few different ones before we found our favorite.

From personal experience, don't start buying condoms in bulk until you know that brand works for you and your partner. Susan is right that the length of the penis doesn't matter (every condom I've ever tried has been long enough) but when we were first buying condoms my boyfriend's girth was really an issue. His penis isn't any longer than average, so I guess we didn't think it would be a problem. At first I thought he was just trying to impress me by needing a bigger condom, but then I tried to roll one on him when he was hard and it literally would not roll down without a fight. He was lubed and everything! We tried a few of them (just regular Trojans) and they were all like that. Part of my health advocate training was teaching people how to use condoms correctly, so it wasn't user error...anyway once we got it on he couldn't maintain a full erection because it was too tight. But you could barely even tell that a condom was on him, the latex was stretched so tight it was clear. We just ended up laughing about it and buying wider ones. Those worked fine, so maybe some guys are more sensitive to tight squeezing than others if it isn't really a size issue.

OK so I rambled, but the moral of the story was to start with a 10-pack or less and work your way up.
