I was initially not too sure about trying the Fire & Ice condoms after hearing about them. The name was enticing and portrayed something I thought I might like. However, many reviews I read online stated that the burning sensations caused by these condoms was too much to endure. I finally decided to buy a variety pack which had these condoms in it. It was a nice find. Personally, as a female, I found the condoms to be a nice variation of typical sex. The sensations are nice and last even after sex has ended leaving you remembering the great time you had. However, they are not something that provides an intense orgasm-inducing sensation. It is more of a nice feeling than a great feeling.

My boyfriend says that they seem to feel a bit thicker than other condoms we have used. For this reason when I give him the choice of choosing which condom to use, he typically does not jump right to them. I do not really tend to be conscious of condom thickness during sex, so that aspect of these condoms was not so noticeable to me as it was to him.

If you like using the sexy trick of putting a condom on with your mouth, I would not recommend doing that with these. They do not taste good at all. This is to be expected, as they are not intended for oral use.

I am not too sure about how these would be for anal sex. I personally do not think that the burning sensation would be desirable in the anus, but I suppose that is for each individual to decide.

From my boyfriend's perspective: He did not notice a lot of the heat, but did notice more of the cold. It lasted for a little bit after taking the condom off. Overall, they are not bad, but did not have the "pizazz" he had hoped for.
