I always have felt like condoms added a little "spice" to the sexual experience. I always let the "putting" on be a part of the foreplay and the taking off part of the conclusion. Like a metal of honor or achievement award in a way!! Something really erotic about seeing a cum filled condom hanging off a penis. They have always been a little erotic to me, although I do find sex much better without one. As far as disposal, I have always flushed them, but after reading some of the other comments with regard to this, I think, I'll go to the knot and throw away method know
