	Is a holiday romance on the cards?

	How to handle a case of the ex

	Love Machine: Our position selector

Total barrier :
The condom is the only contraception method which also protects you from sexually transmitted diseases, which is a big plus for younger couples. Sometimes, worries about being infected can be very hard to overcome.

Your fertility is safe:
Condoms do not involve hormones, so have no effect on female fertility. Some women need to feel 'fertile' to feel sexy, so condoms are a great choice.

The hassle factor:
Condoms can split, not unroll properly, or get stuck, which all kill the moment somewhat. There's also the fact that one of you needs to remember to buy them in the first place that can sometimes be off-putting, especially on a Sunday when there's nothing open.
Some people feel condoms reduce sex down to mechanics, as the act of putting it on interrupts natural lovemaking. By the time you've dug about by the side of the bed to find them, got it out of the packet and put it on, you could be forgiven for going a little off the boil.

"It's not just the putting it on that's annoying, but once we've finished, we like to lie still for a while together. Condoms make this impossible, I have to come out of my partner quickly to make sure it doesn't fall off, which kind of takes all the tenderness away, " says Julian.
