You can make this as personal or impersonal as you want, but what do you think of them in general? I know some people think they're gross; others feel they damage the sensory experience (smell/texture/sight). But obviously, they're one of the most popular forms of contraception out there, so despite any perceived drawbacks, a lot of people are willing to use them.
I personally have no problem with most kinds, but find some of the newer varieties to be a little on the strange side. And what the hell is with Trojan's new vibrating ring?

Condoms are cool for the random hook-up... much better than waking up with an STD a couple days later. Condoms = not so cool in a steady relationship (although if you're minus protection, you definitely want the girl to be on the pill/diaphragm). Some girls have bad reactions to the pill though sosometimes condoms are just a necessity. But it's not as fun.
I hear the girls LOVE the vibrating ring... its kinda akward to use though

I guess they could be a detriment to the sensory experience, but I'm terrified of becoming pregnant, so I use a combination of pills and condoms to be on the safe side, and I have to say, I'm still quite satisfied. :]

Damn that's playing it really safe. Awesome :D
I think condom's suck. The whole putting it on ordeal and stuff ruins the flow of the event.

I prefer the pill but I'm glad condoms exist. The Trojan commercials are just really weird.

Eh... you can find some creative ways to incorporate them into the routine. :]
But I say too much! Hehe...

Hahaha I love this! I prefer the standard condom... what's the point of having a flavored condom... my vagina can't taste... and I don't want to blow a condom... there's a reason that blow jobs exist... I think... and it's because you can't get pregnant from swallowing...
My favorite condom experience was a birthday gift we put together for one of my best guy friends... we got him a "ice cream sundae" condom collection... we had vanilla, chocolate, banana, and mint condoms... it was hilarious.

I rather be condom less. You do get better sensations from not using them but people get to careless and think "well just this once I won't use one" and it always becomes a pattern and will end up getting something. I'm on the pill as it is but I rather be safe.
I think what annoys be about people not using condoms is their reasons. I have two friends that can't use latex condoms because they are allergic. But I know some people are like "I'm catholic and its against my religion" Wtf... lol really?

Yeah, I've heard that bizarre excuse too. You can't use condoms because you're a Catholic, but you're totally okay with pre-marital sex...
I guess it's just people putting their hypocritical framework in place for later use in adulthood.

I hate condoms personally. It doesn't feel as good, it ruins the flow, and the smell/taste can ruin certain activities...
I'm not really into random hook ups, so this is all from a steady relationship perspective.

Condoms are good if you're single and sleeping around - no one wants the clap - but if you're on the Pill, they're sort of unnecessary in committed relationships.
I used to be super paranoid about contraception, and insisted on using both the Pill and using condoms (no babies! no babies!). But then I talked to some of my friends who'd only used the Pill for years, and none of them had ever gotten pregnant. Not that that doesn't happen, but with a 99% effectiveness rate, it's pretty safe. And for me, not using a condom is definitely worth the trade-up in sensation. It's way better without.
And as for that vibrating ring, I've definitely been tempted to try it just for fun, but I've heard that it's kind of ineffective. Apparently, you need to hold the ring right near your clit in order to feel anything, and that sort of interferes with the general motion of the situation.

I'm personally paranoid enough to dwell on that one percent. In my current relationship we use both.
