Sometimes I just like talking about sex

Ok, fine, my adolescent dream was to be Carrie Bradshaw, just kidding. 

But really, Jezebel had a post about condoms, birth control, and sexual satisfaction.  So of course it caught my eye.  Apparently, the most common reason not to wear a condom is "it feels better without one."  However, a survey was conducted and something interesting was discovered: women who used hormonal birth control and condoms reported the highest level of sexual satisfaction.  They conclude with what you think you should or shouldn't be feeling with a condom has more to with your mind than feeling.  

I don't know if I agree completely mostly because a few days again I read about the 40% of women who don't orgasms, and the 12% of them who think that is ok.  I worry that people, men, women, and most importantly doctors are ready to write off women's sexual issues with it's a "psychological woman thing" without the appropriate studies.  Also, regardless of one's feelings about better with or without a condom you should probably use one anyway...it is just safer even with birth control because you can get other things than pregnant.
