I feel like finding the second example "bad" hinges on a pessimistic outlook on readers. It's not like most people don't register words quickly (those old enough to be reading smut). A line like that is barely going to "slow" me down, it just makes me go "oh, they're using a condom" and I'm right back in the action.

It reminds me in a distant way of how novice writers will try so hard to vary "he said" "she said" dialogue tags to the point of absurdity, afraid of repetition and not realizing that the tag is virtually invisible to readers; people don't pay any mind to it unless it's made a big deal of or used incorrectly. Unless the condom use is drawn out, a reader's going to have passed over it and continued in two seconds.
