I believe I've seen lambskin condoms on the shelf recently. Back in the early 80s, the word had it that lambskin ones transmitted tactile sensation better. They were, however, significantly more expensive so most people just used latex ones. I imagine there are still people who are in a monogamous relationship, are more worried about pregnancy than STDs, and for one reason or another choose to include condoms in their pregnancy-prevention measures.

<overshare>I happen to like some of the thin Japanese-manufactured ones for sensation, myself.</overshare>

In the 80s, though, those brands weren't common, and the common brand (Trojans) were rather thick, leading to the old "shower in a raincoat" sensation.
