Duh! I know some of you may be thinking after reading this post’s title; that Nonoxynol-9 can increase HIV infection.
Well guess what? My late to the table ass didn’t know because back when the major condom makers decided to stop using Nonoxynol-9 in their lubricants and condoms products back in 2005; I wasn’t really having any sex (basically abstaining, outside of the occasional jack off session), so the news past me by. Well I figured, “Hey I’m a pretty well informed guy, so if I didn’t know maybe others don’t know” and so you have the birth of this post.
I remember years when I was becoming homo-sexually active; I was told to always look for condoms and lube that had the spermicide nonoxynol-9 present. Why?… because nonoxynol-9 helped reduce the risk of contracting chlamydia, gonorrhea and HIV by killing the microorganisms that causes the diseases.
WRONG!…not only is this not fully true nonoxynol-9 increases the risk of contracting these are other STD’s; how?
Nonoxynol-9 is a detergent, even though it’s great for killing sperm it is also great at damaging and deteriorating the cell membrane lining of the rectum making you more susceptible and vulnerable to attack and infection from STD’s.
This is why in 2005 condom manufactures discontinued using Nonoxynol-9 in most of their products. Nonoxynol-9 is still used as a spermicide in a lot of over the counter products like sponges, foams, and gels to prevent pregnancy; but pregnancy is something that gay men do not have to worry about.
So if you didn’t know…any condom is better than no condom; however you should not use any products containing nonoxynol-9 during sexual intercourse and especially anal intercourse.
So Here’s To Many Happy Fuck Sessions! Have Fun and Play Safe!

@ocky I do not know if you are aware of this but nonoxynol-9 also reduces sensation in the penis for a lot of guys. That is why for years I refused to use Trojan magnums because my lack of sensation made me lose my erection on several occasions. For some guys this numbing effect is good because it enables them to go longer but I am already long-winded so the absence of greater sensation made me lose my erection completely. Needless to say I did not start back wearing any kind of Trojan until the last year or two when they changed the formula of the lubrication that they use. If the information that I read is correct they have either greatly reduced the amount or completely taken Nonoxynol 9 out of the Lube they used to coat the Trojan magnums as well as some of the other condoms. Because of the presence of nonoxynol 9 in their lubrication I switched to lifestyles durex, skyns nonlatex and several other brands until the last year or so.
Ocky, I didn’t know this either so I am SUPER LATE to the table!
I know that the spermicide lube used to make “my junk” itch like hell! I found the one without the spermicide and I have been much better.
I’m learning MADD ISH from you guys today!
