13 Best Gay Condom Brands For Maximum Pleasure & Safety!

When people think of condoms, they usually think of them as a form of birth control, but it also has other important uses beyond that – something that gay condom brands know all-to-well.

Outside of preventing pregnancy, condoms are an invaluable asset in the prevention of sexually transmitted infections. In both gay and straight relationships, it is important to use condoms during sex, especially in situations where the sexual health status of your partner cannot be confidently ascertained.

While the prevalence of barebacking has increased as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has become more readily available and the science behind HIV became more clear (including undetectable = untransmittable or U=U), there are still many sexual transmitted diseases to be concerned about and that you would not want to catch. It is always better to be safe then sorry.

Among queer men, gay condom brands ascertained really particularly important, especially for those who engage in anal sex. Because the nature of vaginal sex and anal penetration is different, gay men need to buy condoms that are more suited to their unique needs.

These include gay condoms that have been specially reinforced for extra protection while still maintaining enough sensitivity for mutual pleasure to be enjoyed. Any adjustment being made to the condom such as ribbing, adding flavors, colors, etc also has to take into consideration the unique nature of gay sex.

And to mention, when it comes to sharing gay sex toys, condoms are a also must. Plastics, rubber, and even medical-grade silicone can be difficult to clean effectively (sometimes even alcohol isn’t enough), and therefore excellent breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses. If you share things like anal butt plugs or dildos, using gay condoms can help you enjoy safer sex and to prevent infection from spreading from person to person. Remember – before you start using the sex toy, and anytime you switch who is using it, put a new condom on it. Simple.

Luckily, there are many different brands of gay condoms on the market today,  including well-known ones such as Durex, Skyn, Trojan, etc. Each of these brands also has dozens of varieties,  so we have to admit it could get a little difficult choosing the one that’ll bring you the most pleasure.

Wink Closer Condoms

For years the Japanese have been hailed and acknowledged as world experts in minimalism. Their culture is all about getting more out of less, and they follow this rule in every aspect of their lives. That is why I wasn’t surprised to find that the Wink condoms are made by a Japanese company, Okamoto, which is sometimes called the number one condom maker in Japan.

Whether this claim is true or not,  Okamoto has established itself as a producer of high-quality natural runner items,  and this condom pays homage to that. Firstly it is one of the thinnest commercially available condoms,  making sure that you feel every tough and stroke. It also has a natural feel and smell for those who that squeaky feel and rubbery smell might put off, and finally, it’s comfortable, especially with a silky-smooth lubricant, a must-have for any quality condom.

Each piece is also electronically tested individually to ensure the highest quality.

FC2 Female Condom

No, you didn’t click on the wrong link by mistake. Although it’s marketed as a female condom and made with women in mind, this condom has been touted by some bottoms as the best thing since sliced bread.

It also allows the feeling of body heat during sex, something that is missing in latex condoms.

Some people also enjoy the sensation of the two rings built into the condom. It comes with a silicon-based lube, just like male condoms,  but unlike them,  it can be used with water- or oil-based lubricants as well. They also give bottoms more control and agency over their sexual health.
