From what I can tell, not many seemed to use them back then but surely they existed in the 70s?
Were they really thick and killed sensation?

They were made from old bike inner tubes with a knot on the end.
They enhanced sensation...….. For the receiver.
Nobody used them as there was no HIV fear back then.
Plus women complained they gave them a rash which I know is somewhat ironic.

Word.
Never used em.
Found one inside the couch when looking for change. Kind of yellow and dried out. Smelled like ass.
They ruptured a lot.
They were available in 4 colors: avocado green, harvest gold, copper brown, and burnt orange. Some were also available in shag for her pleasure.
Hard to find. You could only buy them in gas station restrooms.
They were fine. (You had to be sure to leave a space at the end, but that's still a good thing to do now.)
I can't say I've noticed any difference in sensation between those and the ones nowadays.
Hey - did any of you cats growing up in 70s have your mother tell you before going out on a date "don't forget to take a rubber." ?
people still say rubber especially the british (i actually think youre british)
Until the early 80’s when HIV arrived, the only people who used them were couples where the girl wasn’t using any birth control. I would guess that of the first five women I ever had sex with, neither they nor I used any birth control the first time... you would just pull out at the last second. We were very lucky! Not everyone was.
Almost all sex was unprotected because you weren’t likely to catch any STDs unless you went to the Philippines with the Navy or fooled around with hookers. If you did catch something, it was likely easily treated. Never even heard of HPV back then, and never heard of anyone having herpes. It was a much simpler time.
The rubber ones were not popular, but then they started coming out with different materials like lamb skin, lubricated ones, ribbed (“for her pleasure”), receptacle end, and eventually, Magnums. The big deal then was to go to a drug store with a hot looking cashier, and nonchalantly buy a box of Magnums from her, looking for any expression on her face and hoping she would immediately offer to mount you out in the parking lot, or at least offer you her phone number. Of course, this never happened, but probably accounted for vastly more boxes of Magnums being sold than the penis size statistics would have projected demand for.
I used them once but it was a weird orange colour and the woman laughed at it.
Looking back it was an odd time and they weren’t easily available. Some guys who used the services of certain ladies used to cut off a finger from a tradesman’s glove and said it did the trick.
Some had a candy cane design that served to deceive "slow" girls.

This is the funniest thing I've read so far this year!

The worst thing you had to worry about back then was having to buy them breakfast.
Trojan Lubricated in the light blue wrapper.
Ah, great memories.
"Booze and sex sure are great! We're the Class of '78!"
It's funny because boomers say millenials ruined the world with casual sex. Then here they are talking about how they did the exact same thing. Gotta love the dumbest generation to ever live.
Somehow came across one in 8th grade and carried it in my wallet for a while (as if). So yeah, I saw them in the 1970s, but never actually used one until the 1980s. In the 1980s they were made out of burlap and cocaine.
