Dotted condoms have specially designed raised dots on the outside to increase excitement and sensation exactly where you want it. Dotted condoms have been created to add extra friction and greater stimulation and enjoyment for the receiving partner, evoking a deeper sexual response from both.
You can?t feel anything when you wear a standard condom, but when you use a ribbed one the extra texture can lead to greater friction and enjoyment. The ridges can add pleasure to both the penis and the vaginal wall giving extra sensation to both of you. Choosing between conventional condoms and textured condoms is entirely up to you as it is such a personal choice. It?s all about having some fun between the sheets experimenting and discovering what feels good for both of you.

Risk of HIV and STDs is directly proportional to number of sexual contacts/exposures.
It is certainly safer to have used condoms, single or double doesn't matter much, but risk is still there.
Take HIV, Hep B and VDRL tests at 90 days after last exposure.
If Hep B negative, take Hep B vaccines.

No problem. We often prescribe such condom for premature ejaculation. But prologed use may decrease sensitivity of penis leading to erectile problem, though very rarely.
Sex during safe period reduces the chances of pregnancy by more than 60%. Safe periods in a female with a menstrual cycle of 28-32 days are roughly calculated as.
- first 7 days of menstrual cycle and
- day 22nd onwards till the last day of menstrual cycle
however this is just a rough guide.
To get the exact safe days, consult a gynecologist.
No. The only surefire way to prevent pregnancy and STDs is abstinence. If you do have sex, use a condom every time to protect against unplanned pregnancy and STDs.
