More options are great I suppose, but as a gem-xer I don't get the modern revolt against the condom. Modern condoms are pretty damn thin / good and are a form of male birth control with bonus of very good disease prevention, have next to no side effects, and minimize messes too.

Modern?

Has it increased in some way over time? I think men not wanting to wear condoms because of how they feel is a tale as old as the condom itself.

I think for those that have grown up with porn in their palms it is different yes. Admittedly that's my impression and that of my peer group. I'm not aware of data on the matter.
