I'm a girl, and there's a chance I may be entering into a sexual relationship with a friend of mine. We are both well aware of the dangers involved in sex and want to practice as safe sex as we can. Trouble is, she's allergic to latex. I know how to make a dental dam out of condoms, but I'd prefer a dental dam(since they're usually bigger), but I'm having a hard time finding latex free dental dams or flavored, latex free, non lubricated condoms. Either would work, but I can't seem to find either. I'd really appreciate any help that could be offered! Thanks!

(First, kudos on you for wanting to stay safe! We like to see that around here )
Have you seen the link at the bottom of the page for Condomania? They are a specialty site and have pretty much every kind of condom you could ask for. Obviously if this is something your parents don't know about than that might not be an option.
There are polyurthane condoms for those who are allergic to latex. I have seen them in many drugstores, so you can look for those. As well, you can use plastic wrap in replace of a dental dam. It works just as well.

You can also use non-microwaveable Saran Wrap for this purpose. Very excellent substitution - cheaper, easier to find, no smell, no latex allergy, etc.

Hi I am still not sure what to do on this site it is my forst time, so this might be the second time asking this. I have been having sex with my boyfriend from April he is my first and only so far. We have never had sex wothout a condom, but being my first I was stressed out and up until early in July, we used the morning after a few times, the thing we talked to a someone at a pharmacy and they told us morning after can be used twice in a menstraul cycle and the only side affect where, vomiting and so on, but nothign serious, I recantly visited a web site and the site said that infertility and life threatining pragnancy are some of the side effects, we used the morning after 5 times, witht the idea that it was not that harmfull, I need to know what are my chances of being infertile? I anyone can help me please.

Posting the same question multiple times is against the board rules, and it won't get you an answer any faster.
