Some like this, others find it irritating. Try switching from ribbed to unribbed if your partner has had enough extra stimulation. Colors, Tastes and Smells People occasionally object at first to the taste or smell of latex, but after a few experiences with condoms and enjoyable sex most people find the taste and smell of latex an erotic turn on. Latex itself actually has very little taste. It is the additives that make condom brands distinct.
Some silicone lubricated condoms actually have less taste than many unlubricated condoms.
Be careful about condoms which are scented as the perfume can cause allergies. There is considerable variety in the taste and smell of condom lubricants so pick what you like the best.
