Knowing plenty of people who have had them fail, I'll pass. One of my good friends had one fail and it's put a fear of them in me about that.
I just got a vasectomy. Any questions or comments?

I just chose to date a girl who has had a hysterectomy and who consented to bloodwork. Problem solved. However, not all women have had that devilbox exorcised, and I am considering for the future.
That said, doubling up has been shown to not provide any increase in protection, as the condoms can slide against each other and are actually MORE likely to develop a breech, per the studies we were told about in highschool, FWIW.
You know how much thought I put into analyzing everything else? I'm flippant about that, compared to my devotion to preserving my life and limb regarding STD's/Spawn.

I'm not sure if it was user error or what, but I used to break them all them time, I mean never at the wrong time, but in the middle of the deed they would just break, I would simply strap on another and carry on, but girls used to get so nervous.
Further, you're still fertile for about six weeks. As for the STD, I think it's more for people in monogamous relationships.

I didn't trust the girl who said she had a hysterectomy, either. I looked for supporting evidence beyond just the scars. People just say stuff.
However, condoms don't do so well at preventing STD's, either, except for HEP/HIV, which have very VERY low transmission rates, anyway. The main issues is HPV (little/no protection---get your Guardasil series), and HSVI and II (only 60% effective). Estimates show that 1/4-5 women have HSVI/II, and roughly 1/5-9 men. 90% do not know they are carriers. Bloodwork. IGG antibody screening. Etc.
I really need to leave this thread before my OCD takes off.
Boy, if I had the balls to tell you guys a story!
common... you know you wanna.
And I have to go to work in about 15 minutes so make it quick. 
Happens if you don't use lube, or she doesn't provide it. Condoms dry out crazy bad I have found sometimes. Lube. Buy it and use it. People I know who do, RARELY if ever break them.
The guy it failed on--he said he looked at it as he threw it away (hell, I did the same thing before I flushed them, just a cursory glance or two to see that the reservoir is in tact) and he never once noticed one that was compromised to the naked eye. Must have been a small imperfection/lesion in the condom.
I questioned him extensively, as I was the guy who cleaned that issue up, and wanted to know WHY the failure occurred. He says he always put it on before doing ANYTHING, not one of those "okay I'm close throw 'er on!" type deals.
The only thing I can think of is a product flaw, or a slight tear during usage, or sabotage.

This is why semi-open relationships are good. There is no reason to lie, so people don't, at least, in my experience. I stopped trying to actually DATE chics when I was 21. It's too much hassle and all that mess, and I don't have any weird jealousy issues or anything to prove, so why not?
I have never been a "hook up" kind of person. Open relationships to me would feel trashy. Just my personal thoughts on the matter, and not judging. I guess I am just old fashioned. I like romance and girly things. The warm and fuzzies... sometimes being that way sucks though. But, that's me and how I am.

I have spuns some yarns on here, but this story would only be told face to face to someone I know, and they could not be wired.
I wasn't there, but neither of the two were reported to me.Condoms only fail if the person using them fails or cheaps out on dollar general condoms.
I better duck out of this thread... My g/f's dad posts here

Well, nothings full proof, but I love and trust my wife, so I don't worry.
I'm not judging, either, but warm fuzzies and the like are about like the Easter bunny and other such in my mind. Nice and fun and all that, but I don't believe in them as anything more than passing emotions that some girl has felt for plenty of guys before me, and will feel plenty of times after she's forgotten who I am. I'd rather approach with honesty.
hi ho hi ho, it's off to work I go. Thanks for the interesting conversation guys.
Ho. Work.
I like that sentence, it has some nice words in it!
I work because I owe, I owe, because Joel and the crew at Noveske and user TDH won't stop taking my money :P
