Tickle His Pickle: Your Hands-On Guide to Penis Pleasing (26 page)

Use a condom every time.
They’re not only inexpensive, they’re effective. Be sure he’s wearing it correctly, too (see page 140).

Store your condoms wisely.
Keep a fresh supply on hand. Don’t leave them in the heat or in a wallet. Never re-use them.And toss‘em after their expiration date. If you open one that looks or feels bad, don’t use it.

Stay sober.
Drinking and recreational drugs weaken your assertiveness, lessen your ability to communicate, and make it tougher to focus on putting on a condom correctly. Know when to say ‘when.’

Condom
What
Ifs...

What if
either of you is allergic to latex condoms? It may
be the latex, or the nonoxynol-9 spermicide already on the condom. Try a condom without this spermicide, or a polyurethane condom instead. But be aware: polyurethane is less elastic, so it breaks more often. Do not use condoms made of lambskin, since they will not block the transmission of STDs (but they do block sperm and work to prevent pregnancy).

What if
he’s uncomfortable in condoms? Try
a variety—latex condoms are available in different shapes, sizes and thicknesses, from extra large to snugger fit to wider at the tip. Test-drive a few and find a new favorite!

What if
he’s uncircumcised?
Gently pull back his foreskin, and then unroll the condom to the base of his penis.

What if
you want to share a sex toy?
Germs can cling to porous toy surfaces, such as latex—so don’t share! But if you do, put new condoms on your toys before each use.

What if
you give a handjob without a condom?
You’re safe, as long as you don’t have any fresh cuts, open sores or cracks from chapping on your hands.

What if
I go down without him wearing a condom?
You can catch a STD—even from his pre-come. Be sure he tests clean before taking this risk.

How To Roll-Out A Condom

Put it on him before there is any contact with your mouth, vagina or butt.

Hold it by the tip to squeeze out the air.

No reservoir tip? Leave about ½ inch of space at the tip for his come.

Unroll it over his erect penis, all the way to the base.

After he comes, and before he gets soft, hold the rim of the condom at the base to keep it from slipping off till he is away from you. Then gently remove the condom and flush it, or wrap it in a napkin and toss it in the garbage.

Use a new condom to have sex again.

Sadie Sez:

When lips meet latex.
Pick up a plain, non-lubed condom. Before unrolling it, add a couple of drops of water-based lube inside the tip to create pleasurable friction for him.Then drizzle your favorite flavored lube on the outside for the best taste for you. Or try a flavored condom.

Enjoying Safer Anal Play

Latex.
For the safest finger play, slip into a pair of latex gloves—or try finger cots—!atex finger sleeves. They protect against the spread of germs and can create slipperier, sexier sensations. Always use lube.

Dental dams.
Create a protective layer between you and your guy’s erogenous zone for the safest tongue play. Use plastic wrap from your kitchen, or dental dams—which are rectangular pieces of latex you can buy at fine sex boutiques and online. Hold dental dams flat against the area you’d like to lick and caress and you’re ready to go.
