ok so im 23yrs old and live an alternative lifestyle. i am happy with my choice and have opened up more sexually with woman. now..heres the kicker..

ive never been to the doctor..for an actually conformation of this but going all natural with a bio guy or fingers..i have no problem staying wet..but if a condom is added...or a ..say strap-on *with a condom* i dry up faster than a spilt glass of water in the desert. could i be allergic to rubber or latex items? i wear gloves and silly bands with no problem..could it centralized to that area or is it some kinda MENTAL mombo jumbo about it being a condom...??

safe sex, whether u clean it between uses and between partners its better to have a condom on it. just in case there is a an invisible nick or cut in the surface u cant see a condom is sanitary...im a germ stickler namely because i get YI at the drop of a hat...

[Masurao]

well..if in not deathly allergic to it in other areas hands ect why is it that id have such a negative reaction..once its involved...thats what kinda makes me think its maybe a mental issue :x but thats dumb because straps cant get you preggos...

I am latex sensitive and what you describe is exactly what happens to me with a latex condom. You go from nice and juicy to dry as the desert in about 10 seconds. I don't how but that is what happens.

Most solid toys can be run through the dishwasher to really clean. Stay away from the cheap "jelly" type, they contain toxins.

ok when u say *jelly* u mean the ones that are slightly see through? *in any range of colors*
and by *toxins* u mean things that could upset the delicate balance of my..lady..errm environment?
that sounds like im mocking or that im slow..i just want to make sure im not..missing any points.

That's exactly how I am. Latex gloves on my hands, no problem. Latex condom, whew, badbad problem.

Just like any other product, some toys are made from better quality materials than others. Some are made from stuff that might be ok for a decorative item to hang on the wall but not to put in your body. These are really not regulated and many come from countries with rather poor track records in the quality control department. There are some shops and on line stores that specialize in non toxic adult products. Smitten Kitten is one I'm familiar with, I'm sure there are others.
