Oyuki kigan 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I saw the antipersirant thread, and thought that this was a product that needed addressing. In Canada, my Japanese friends said they never used Canadian condoms (no jokes from the peanut (shit, bad pun) gallery, please) because the didn't trust them. And Canadian friends in japan had the same misgivings about japanese condoms. Personally, i just like the ones that come wrapped like omamori, with the kanji 'Kon' (ima, now), 'Do' (the do in ondo, temperature), and 'Mu' (dream, yume) written on it.

fjef 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 isn't that simply because the Canadian ones fall off and the Japanese ones break? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Never used one. Heard bad things. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Cant go past the "big boy" brand - with a picture of a horse head on the front to boost your ego. I think that I will take a few packs of those home for gifts. anyone else think that the regular ones here tend to be a little short? Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 What bad things did you hear? And i know people are gonna bring up the'size' issue, but i'm not sure that is the real reason. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Bad things? Just generally not too good (I heard - too small, not lubricated, weak, etc) If I were to use a condom, it would be from my stock of Durex from the UK. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 As you would expect, there are international standards for condoms, so one wonders what the big deal is. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 had a few bad experiences with J-condoms. Dont remember what they were but were ones at love hotels (maybe that was the problem eh) After that stopped using J-condoms and only use trojans now. Kinda a hassle getting em from the States but dont want any Yama Jr's runnin around Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 The only descent J-condoms I think are the Big-man (the one with the stallion cover not the big nose guy) and some that you can only find in condomania called Bazooka. The Big-man-Stallion ones are pretty lame because they are colored black!!!! Not the best color for a condom I guess. The Bazooka ones are better but they come in a box with 3 condoms inside for 500 yen. It is even cheaper to go to shopland than buy condoms here and do it yourself at home. I usually order my Trojans from the internet or I restock whenever I go buck home. The restocking process actually is kind of funny, because last time, I went to the lady at cash-register with 8 packs of Trojans. You should have seen her face! Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Are you sure you dont mean Big Boy Tsondaboy? Havent seen any "big mans" around - perhaps its a level up I should investigate. Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I got a friend to send a supply on when I first came here. He was kind enough to do me the favor. Apparently the lady looked very surprised when he went up to the counter with about 100. He apparently broke the silence by saying "I'm having an orgy tonight". Link to post Share on other sites

kintaro 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Curtis, just out of curiosity, since you've advertised your intention to have at least preparations for 100 sexual encounters, how ya' doin? Link to post Share on other sites

Lame colour though! Link to post Share on other sites
nzlegend 1 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 My sister used to get durex for me from NZ, she used to ask her doc for prescription and for $4 dollars - yes $4 she got a large cardboard box full 12 boxes of 12 - a gross of johnnies for $4 bucks! crazy! Doctors prescriptions are the way forward! Got a family member in NZ? then get yourself hooked up! I had a little racket going for while - selling them to the boys at a profit.

indosnm 0 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I think that sometimes people feel more comfortable with the brands that they know hence people going for the ones from home. Same thing with many things such as toothpaste, ointments etc etc I often hear people saying that this & that from home is much better than the one's here. I think it boils down to familiarity (sp?) condoms are terrible things. Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I think you are correct, Indosnm (on the familiarity thing). However, I believe condoms are a good thing as abstinence is impossible. Take the HIV AIDS situation in Afrika for example. Link to post Share on other sites

Quote: According to UNAIDS statistics, among Japanese who are sexually active, the rate of condom use is 80%. Even so, the rate of AIDS infections has risen 14%, the same rate that it has been increasing in sub-Saharan Africa Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 14% in japan? is that serious? Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ja.html According to world fact book it's : "less than 0.1% (2003 est.)" of course, there could have been a lot of promiscuity between 2003 and 2005 Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Sava, the cia factbook talks about current rate or exsisting cases, this article by the UNAIDS talks about a rise of 14% in HIV cases . Kinda different specs (?). Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 > of course, there could have been a lot of promiscuity between 2003 and 2005 There has. And many Japanese still don't appreciate that the AIDs risk is now from promiscuous Japanese and not dirty foreigners. Link to post Share on other sites

Like all the J-Men sex trips to China and Thailand... didnt they hire like 100+ women to have a huge orgy with?? Does anybody here like glow-in-the-dark condoms?? I quite fancy them Link to post Share on other sites
