Reply to comment by CheckOutDisMuthaFuka in TIL that although lambskin condoms protect against pregnancy, they are not effective at preventing the transmission of STDs. by bigbbypddingsnatchr

Terrible? No. Except they don't protect against STDs. Lol.

That's.... Pretty terrible if you ask me.

But I do also recall hearing that they were subpar as birth control as well. But that's 100% anecdotal.

My point being why would people bother buying them when there are superior and easy to get latex condoms? Is there some other benefit that I'm not aware of?

Bc many people are allergic to latex ....

And lambskin condoms are thinner and transmit heat better.

They feel better.

My wife doesn't do well with any female contraceptives, and so instead of making her suffer, I wear condoms. I have no fear of STI's, so that detractor is out. If both stop pregnancy, I'm going to go with the one that feels better.

Or in my case, the one I can afford, so I still use latex. But, if I could afford it, I'd switch.

Latex allergy. Wanting to actually feel sex. Those who don’t want kids right now who are in fluid bonded relationships.
