REALITY CONDOMS

QUESTION
What's the story about gay men using the female condom? Does it stay in a man? What about sensation for the top, etc. Where can I get the Reality condom?

ANSWER
Many men have tried the Reality or female condom and some prefer it to traditional latex condoms. Try it, use lots of lube -- either oil-based or water-based as it's made from polyurethane. It stays in the rectum without the inner ring and some receptive men have reported they liked it.

Most drug stores carry it. In San Francisco most Planned Parenthoods have them, and we provide them for free at City Clinic.

To your health,
Dr. K
