When I was in high school, I was a machine. When I was in college, I could keep the motor running a long time, too. I’m not sure how I was that lucky… maybe it was the utter frequency that I had sex and my proximity to the fabled male sexual peak. Now that I’m in my 30s, E and I have 2 young kids and both have jobs tiring us out, the machine is parked in the garage. We often joke that it would only take an extra 3-5 minutes of E’s time when she says “I’m just too tired.” I freely admit that there are many times the extended pleasure rubbers are a welcome addition to the bedroom. Here are the details:

Other than the lube, this is your basic Trojan with a reservoir tip.

The lube does a good job as a lube as well as a desensitizer. When I need maximum effect (read as: no alcohol and it’s been 3 or 4 weeks since we got it on), I have to put the hat on during foreplay for a few minutes before the actual sex to let it work its desensitizing magic before E’s pussy works hers. The rubber’s kung fu is strong when it has time to warm up, but if I don’t give it the extra minute, then E’s pussy kung fu is stronger. When there has been a lot of alcohol involved or we are having daily romps, the rubber kung fu can be utterly overpowering and unnecessary. Some of these times have lasted so long that we have gotten E to the point that she finishes me off with a hand job rather than continuing with intercourse until my climax. So I have begun to keep some Trojan Ultra Sensitive rubbers bedside as well. I know that sounds strange, using both Extended Pleasure|Trojan extended pleasure and Ultra Sensitive. But the EP is just too strong when we are in a “vaginal warming” period. But they work like a charm during those “vaginal ice ages”, where the US would be WAY TOO sensitive to let me last more than a few minutes.

The product is officially unflavored. I would not characterize it as such. Fresh snowmelt flowing into a stream in the Rockies is unflavored. The lube on this condom is not that Rocky Mountain stream and tastes a little bit strange (and will eventually numb your tongue a bit). It isn’t terrible, but strange. There have been a few occasions after I came during sex, E hadn’t made it to her little nirvana yet, and we had already launched the Doc Johnson Water-proof Egg|Water-proof egg sex toy review across the room to a point of no return for the night. I was obliged to close the deal with some cunnilingus (guys read: SWEET, she forced me to go down on her until she could cum). This is where I discovered the weird taste and shortly after noticed my mouth numbing a little bit. When I re-read this before posting, it sounds like I’m complaining; I’m not. The taste is just a “feature” to be aware of. The smell/taste of these rubbers actually turns me on now, since I associate it with going down on E and making her cum – my favorite sport.

Overall, I give this product a high rating because it does exactly what it says it will do. If you don’t need the desensitizer every time and you know it, make sure to have a selection of other more sensitive rubbers on hand.

Have fun,
