The female condom demystified


As part of my orientation, I got to participate in a counselor training last week. We were training counselors on the logistics of our community education program. The topic of condom distribution came up and the moderator mentioned female condoms and the counselors curiously asked for an explanation on how to use female condoms. So I've seen a fair share of female condom demonstrations, but this one was by far the best and I have to admit, I was even blushing some points.

We all got female condoms and the moderator walked us through on how to pinch it just right to insert it into the vagina. And then he perfectly demonstrated the most ample positions for a woman to insert the condom, one leg up on the desk with your legs spread eagle or a two legged squat with your both legs spread wide. To see a full grown man candidly squat into these positions was priceless. He then told us that men can also insert into the woman and demonstrated with his hand how a man can have just as much fun doing it as well.

He then went in for a more up close demonstration and created a mock vagina with his hand to show the proper placement over the labia. He started off using his finger to show the correct way to penetrate, but felt that wasn't sufficient and then asked if we had an artificial penis, which we did! As we handed it over to him he commented on how it was a really good artificial penis. So after he had the proper tools he proceeded to show us the correct penetration and then the incorrect penetration.

Just as quickly as he started the demonstration he ended it and reminded us to wash our hands when it was all over. And then someone asked if it was toxic to which he replied with, "non, ce n'est pas toxique!" and licked the lube off his fingers like it was leftover candy. "Pas toxique"

And then my co-worker asked me if I knew about the female condom, I said, "yea sure." And then he asked, "have you used one before?" And I replied with, "oh no, I haven't actually" and just laughed and then said, "pas encore!" (not yet) and he just laughed at me and repeated my words, "pas encore" I have to say after that demonstration, I'm sold and want to try it.
