" Using condoms, while absolutely necessary (ABSOLUTELY necessary, no exceptions, especially if my 18-year-old sister is reading this) can be kind of a bummer sometimes. Something that should be the most intimate moment between you and your partner can end up in slippery chemical-lube weirdness or otherwise unnatural un-sexytimes due to love gloves. But now there&amp;#039;s a new, dare we say, sweeter option for safe sex thanks to photojournalist Talia Frenkel, the lady behind L. Condoms, a woman-friendlier alternative with natural Malaysian latex and lube that won&amp;#039;t get all weird on you. Frenkel noticed that all the prophylactics on the market were marketed for men, particularly indicated by their brand names \u2014 Magnum, Trojan, Armor. &amp;quot;Why do I feel I&amp;#039;m entering an artillery unit?&amp;quot; she told co.Exist about her thought process. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s nothing sleek or sexy or sophisticated about them. It&amp;#039;s fire and ice. And, what girl wants fire and ice in her?&amp;quot;  So she took it upon herself to come up with a more natural and lovemaking-encouraging alternative. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s about looking at the ingredients and deciding what women would want in their bodies.&amp;quot; (Besides, we all know guys aren&amp;#039;t psyched about using mass-market condoms anyway.) But the best part is, using L. Condoms comes with a philanthropic bonus \u2014 every time one is bought, another is sent to Africa as a push to cut the rate of HIV infections and other sexually transmitted diseases. Nine out of ten countries with high STD rates suffer from a shortage of available prophylactics. Follow Anna on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
