But that all might be about to change, at least for dudes. Durex has a new condom out that promises to enhance erections with a gel inside the tip that contains Zanifil. The over-the-counter drug boosts blood flow in the penis, which leads to firmer, larger and longer-lasting erections for men who might find that condoms dampen their enthusiasm for doing the deed.
Zanifil is frighteningly based on the chemical nitroglycerin, which relaxes the muscles in blood-vessel walls, therby increasing blood flow — which actually makes sense because that’s how it helps people not have heart attacks. Zanifil also employs a delivery system that allows medicine to permeate the skin quickly.
And there’s something to look forward to! Futura, the company that makes Zanifil, is also making a topical spray that helps delay ejaculation, which should be available in the United States next year. It’s all around good news today for penises.

A man died today after applying to much friction to his condom during sex, the head of his penis was blown off which caused him to lose all of his blood! In other news, a prostitute had her head blown off today…….

Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 12:57 PMThe problem with condoms is not whether they diminish an erection, it’s all about the fact that there is a VERY noticeable latex barrier between yourself and your partner. Even the ultra-sheer ones still render sensations almost barely noticeable.
Until they come up with a condom that doesn’t diminish the feelings of intimacy, men (and their partners) will always dislike using them.

Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 6:19 PMWhile men will always dislike them, I think they’re working well on the fairer sex.
To a girl who’s never had unprotected sex, they’re not going to have a problem with it and will probably be disgusted with ejaculation.
To any guy who’s ever beaten off, they’ll know it’s not right.

Cautious One
Thursday, December 8, 2011 at 1:33 PMPerhaps a gentle reminder that the combination of viagra (as mentioned in the title) and nitrates (heart medications, amyl, etc) is dangerous.
Here is one article describing the effect: http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/102/20/2516.full
Don’t mean to be a downer, just suspect caution should be used with the article heading…..
ps. did she say ‘penis’??? hehe

I’d rather a single partner for safety.

Friday, December 9, 2011 at 3:56 AMWait, what’s the point of having Viagra inside something you can only put on if you already have an erection?
