  There may be no easy, clear cut answer to that. Human sexuality is complex and a lot of what we respond to is rather Pavlovian.

  And a serious answer: I honestly don't like them. I'm sensitive to some brands lubricants, and can't do the spermicide, so that might have an effect. But the main thing I get is that it makes it feel more like... I don't know, fake or dildo-like? I always imagine it is much more noticable to men, mostly because of where nerves are located. A penis has many more feeling nerve endings than vaginal walls, so the points where a woman would notice a condom are somewhat less than where a man would. Spouse says it is a huge difference :: I imagine it is since Bill Gates put up money to try to improve them so that use was higher. Edit: I forgot the percentages. I'd say it probably knocks off 20-40%: Thankfully female physiology allows for different sorts of "pleasure points", as compared to likely 40-60% for men, from what I can tell.
