I never use them unless I'm on a one night stand. The reason is i tend to stay with the one girl once I have her and it is usually a choice made by both of us. The barrier between us is unhelpful and reduces the pleasure to both of us both mentally and physically. There is the pill which is a savior but without the pill there is always withdrawal method which when needed has never failed me. You want to be sure you have a good degree of control though which I thankfully have

Unless you and a current partner have had an up to date STD test (some STDs can take several months to appear on tests after contracted), then all the usual reasons - the feel- the inconvenience- the cost- pale in comparison to the real issue- AIDS.
Sure, it's slightly inconvenient and the feel is slightly different, but condoms are still the best contraceptive. Reasonably cheap, different sizes, additional protection against cervical cancer, no internal side-effects from chemicals, no need to regularly visit a doctor etc
I love the "They don't make condoms big enough for me" argument some men have. Hahaha! Hilarious. Unless these men have a disfiguration of the penis that causes it to be larger than his head (which condoms stretch to), then they are a liar.
To answer your question, always a condom.

No matter what is said about condoms (i.e. the "ultrathin" ones feel like you're not wearing one at all) it's not true... It ALWAYS feels better to not wear a condom...
Now that being said, just because it feels better doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. I'd only consider not using a condom after at least several months of a magnanimous relationship, and after you've both been tested and she's on birth control (and takes/uses it regularly, or has the shot which lasts 3 months) Even then, certain STD's such as HPV are undetectable in guys, and only detectable in women when they have a pap smear and something abnormal shows up.
Personally, I can't say that I do use a condom all the time with my girlfriend, but we've been together for a year and 3 months.

In this time period of the human race, to have sexual intercourse without using a condom is the same as playing Russian roulette. Eventually you WILL contract an STD (sexually transmitted disease).
Some can be cured, some, like herpes, cannot.
And did you know that when you contract a sexually transmitted disease your name goes onto a national registry list? Oh, and if you think well then I'll never get treated, well, when the pain gets so bad that you can hardly move, believe me, you'll go get treatment.
Please don't believe that being in a monogamous relationship like marriage makes you safe. Sometimes STDs don't show on the outside of the body or you can be asymptomatic. You might not be your partner's only sexual partner either.
The following link shows examples of what sexually transmitted diseases look like and the pictures are graphic.
Use a condom every time.

I don't use them with my partner because we're monogamous and I am on the Pill. If I have to take antibiotics, then I would use condoms during that time. I don't do one night stands and only have sex in relationships so I don't feel the need although I would ask for a sexual history before sleeping with someone anyway.

If you are having sex with somebody that you are unawhere of them having STD's or not then you will where a condom all the time, even though that still doesn't protect you from everything.
Other wise, if it is with your trusted partner you will not where a condom unless you are afraid to get pregnant. If you don't where one it is more stimulant.

definitly a condom at the start untill you get to know everything that you need to about your partners sexual history i do think sex is better without one just like its better with someone you love but it doesnt always work out like that so safety MUST come first with all the risks out there at the moment and the fact that people have alot more sexual partners than years ago condoms are definitly a MUST

I find that an older man maybe in his 50 is more likley not to wear a condom. They still believe in the you don't look like you have something. A younger guy is more educated and has been brought up thinking that a condom is the way to go.

If I use another method of birth control witrh my husband then I don't use condoms. But if I was sleeping with a new partner then I would definatly use condoms to protect against STDs. Me & my husband were childhood sweethearts so I know I'm not going to catch anything from him!!

When I was active, I put a condom on every time, save for those few times that she wanted to get pregnant
