(NOTE: This is not a blog about how my life was ruined because I didn't wear protection. Rather, it's a discussion about contraception and my own experiences with the matter)


Always use a condom.

It's a phrase commonly heard whenever there is a discussion about anything related to sex. Caught an STD? How could you be so stupid, always use a condom. I mean, it's so easy. Just use a condom, and you'll never have to worry about unwanted pregnancy and STDs. There really is no good reason not to use one, right?

People are always quick to judge people for not using a condom. It's especially easy for two groups of people: First, women, who often do not feel much of a difference between sex with or without. Second, men who have never had sex without a condom, and thus cannot compare the two. They rarely stop to think: why would someone have sex without a condom on? And to be honest, why would they. They are practising safe sex, and are happy doing so.


My experiences

Allow me to explain my side of the story. I'm a 25 year old guy. I've been in a relationship, which lasted a four years, and ended four years back. She was on birth control, and we never used a condom. At times, when she had forgotten to take her pill, we would use a condom. However, this often led to me losing my erection while putting it on, or I would just not climax during sex. Not much fun for either party, so from then on we would just resort to "other stuff" in those kinds of situations.

After the relationship ended, my trouble with condoms became a huge problem for my sex life. I would occasionally take a girl home, but that never ended well. When I used a condom, either I would have erection problems, leaving both of us unsatisfied, or I would simply not climax, which would lead to a lot of frustration for me. I tried using different kinds of condoms; extra thin, latex-free, extra lube. Nothing solved my problem.

So I began looking for alternatives to condoms. However, it turns out that there are none. Condoms are the only thing that protects against STDs, and since most girls do not mind using one, they will always require you to wear one. Even when they are on birth control. And I cannot blame them: it's the smart thing to do.


What now?

At this point, I've all but lost interest in picking up girls. I have to make an effort to sway a girl, only for the night to end in inevitable frustration. And going up to a girl saying "Hey babe, are you on birth control, STD-free, and OK with not using a condom? If so, wanna come home with me?", well, that doesn't really work either. Although I must admit I haven't tried it yet.

It seems like casual sex just isn't going to work for me. I'll have to find a girlfriend again, who is on birth control, and is OK with not using a condom. However, one does not simply "find a girlfriend", and these requirements, which are not immediately apparent, make it even more difficult.

The point is this: I've gone four years without good sex. Condoms have caused me endless frustration, and if I get an opportunity to have sex without using one, I will gladly do so and accept the risks. The phrase "Always use a condom" is easy to say for some, but do realize that for others the choice to use one may not be as clear.



If you've read this far, first of all, thank you. And second, please comment with your thoughts and your own experiences. I'd very much like to read them.

Why don't you practice jerking off with a condom? Whenever you're in the mood, just put one on and try to get yourself to finish. Keep doing this until you feel comfortable you could do it irl.

I dont use condoms in the relationship im in now and when i have used one on occasion ive struggled to climax at times too.
Ive always thought it to be a blessing since it usually means i can go for over an hour. If i ever get divorced the women will love me. Whats the issue with the girl finishing you off using oral / her hands though?

it just doesn't feel as good with condom, but I never had problem to use condoms with one night stands. In a relationship/with fuckbuddies I do not want to use it tho.

I have done that, and I do finish when I masturbate with a condom on. But unfortunately, it does not translate into climaxing during sex. At least, not for me.

When you masturbate you can control the pressure, which doesn't happen during sex. And normally that wouldn't be a problem, since there's the warmness / wetness to help out. But condoms take that away, and that results in me being unable to climax.

Well yes, the women I have had sex with love the fact that I can last forever. But for me, it's just not the same. That feeling of delaying your climax, switching to some other position, build up again, and then explode at some point... it's just not there. I keep going until I'm bored and then I stop. That's not the way it's supposed to be.

And well, in my experience, girls you take home for a night do not feel like giving head. At least not for the 15+ minutes it would take me to finish. And being finished off with her hands is nice, but that doesn't really do it for me. I mean, I already do that often enough myself.

Well, I have never used one of those. However, I cannot image it feeling much better than a regular condom. After all, you still miss out on the warmth/wetness of the vagina, which is the main problem with condoms.

Maybe start training you PC muscle to hold your erections longer to overcome the problems of putting on the condom?
Maybe also start working out in general and go sunbathing or something to increase your testosterone level.
Finally maybe it helps to watch less porn and jerk off less to increase sensibility and libido?

I wish I could have been more helpful but giving advice in this situation is pretty difficult. If you want to be hooking up with near-strangers, you need the protection. I'm fortunate enough to be in a long-term relationship with my girlfriend and we've worked all the contraception stuff already, so I've never had this issue.

Maybe it's primarily psychological? I'd consider looking up ways to trick your mind into...uh... getting turned on? :/

Yes use a condom. I had a similar problem. What it all came down to for me was being able to practice penetration and endurance, and posture in the legs.

I don't think you can train a muscle to sustain your erection. It's just about blood flow I believe. Anyway, the last couple of times I didn't have problems staying erect, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Masturbating less definitely works. I mean, if I were to not touch myself for 2 weeks then sure, I could climax with a condom. But the thing is that I do not have a steady sexual partner, so I cannot really predict when it's going to happen. And I really don't want to stop masturbating for that long every time I have sex. I've tried ~3 days without masturbating before sex, without results.

True, but no luck so far. The girls I know are either not on birth control, or they want you to use a condom anyway.

Thanks! Yeah, I've tried some different ones, and there's definitely a difference. But I haven't found a kind that works yet. In the end, it's all the same "showering with a raincoat on" feeling.

Well, I thought it was psychological at first. But during the past few months I've been sleeping with a beautiful woman that I have a very special connection with, and even then it just doesn't happen for me. I can hardly express the frustration. It's the reason I ended that affair (along with the fact that she doesn't want to be exclusive, but that's something for another blog). Thanks for your comments though!

Interesting. Well, I believe that for me the problem doesn't lie there. I've had enough practice, both with and without condom, and it just the stimulation to the penis that's lacking.

There is no easy solution. Cutting back on masturbation is your best bet (or finding a trustworthy partner). It doesn't just have to be never, just less often can help. Also I would suggest toning down the type of porn. Wherever you fall on the 'hardcore' scale consider taking it down a few notches. This should help reinvigorate the part of your brain that should be getting excited just from getting her naked and at your disposal.

That should help continue your success with maintaining an erection and get you closer to climaxing. As for the general sensation, there are some creams that you can use to increase sensation but they also increase the risk of the condom failing for one reason or another. Otherwise, you pretty much are stuck playing STD roulette or finding someone you trust.

EDIT realized I was talking to the wrong person but the info was the point and generic enough

I made it for about three weeks one time, and though it didn't end with me getting lucky, it did make things MUCH faster. If I were you I'd try it for 1-2 weeks at a time. It might help

Why don't you make it your goal to find a girl that you want to get serious with, without any immediate plans for sex? I think many girls would appreciate that as well.

Once you get serious enough with the girl that she might be the one you want to marry, that might be the time to rely on birth control rather than condoms. This may not be an ideal solution, but it's better than 'giving up on girls' most likely.

I was thinking this same thing.

Another thing you can do is, along with research, look into feel enhancers and things like that. This problem isn't just you, its a lot of people. While I don't suffer from this, I do know that the reduced sensation is no fun for us. I'd say that you should look into the enhancers, and do some serious research into this for your sexual health, even if it means contacting a sexual health adviser. But I would say that Micro's answer is definitely what I would go with in the mean-time.

The peace of mind using a condom gives me is totally worth it. I have to admot though for me using or not using a condom doesnt make a huge difference to me. Guess I could consider myself lucky.

woh where did marriage come into the picture?? find a girl on birthcontrol. or, practice the withdrawal method. It's a lot more reliable than people think.

Have you tried extra thin condoms or lambskin?

Once you get serious enough with the girl that she might be the one you want to marry, that might be the time to rely on birth control rather than condoms. This may not be an ideal solution, but it's better than 'giving up on girls' most likely.

woh where did marriage come into the picture?? find a girl on birthcontrol. or, practice the withdrawal method. It's a lot more reliable than people think.

Have you tried extra thin condoms or lambskin?

Marriage comes into the picture when you want to be somewhat responsible and yet have sex without a condom. You don't need to get married for that, but you should at least be serious enough about the girl that marriage could be in the picture.

I definitely want to find a girl to have a serious relationship with. But relationships and sex go hand in hand, at least for me. A relationship with bad sex is just a bad relationship. And unfortunately, this whole condom issue is kind of a make-or-break thing for me when it comes to having good sex.

And about the marriage thing: I do not have plans to get married, at all. It's an outdated concept if you ask me. Maybe it's because my parents are divorced. In any case, I do not really agree with the fact that there has to be some kind of 'seriousness' before you can have sex without a condom. Once you have slept with each other a few times, get tested for STDs and then rely on the woman's birth control from there. Being in a comitted relationship shouldn't have anything to do with this.

I half agree with you. When I say "the girl you might want to marry" I really mean the girl you want to be in a long-term exclusive relationship with. Whether this technically involves marriage or not isn't actually that important to me, although I'm sure some traditionalists will disagree.

Personally, I wouldn't trust a girl to be 100% careful with their birth control if they aren't the girl I'm willing to get into a marriage-level relationship with. Furthermore, I wouldn't trust them to be exclusive. If you get your fuckbuddy tested for STDs, what's to stop them from sleeping with other men and catching something after the fact?

You're completely correct. I should always use a condom in this case. But that's kind of the point: it's not fun for me when using a condom. So yes, I am willing to take some risks. Unfortunately, I haven't found a woman who is OK with that.

You can still get STIs (they don't call them STDs anymore) even if you use condoms btw. Still use them.

Well, I have never used one of those. However, I cannot image it feeling much better than a regular condom. After all, you still miss out on the warmth/wetness of the vagina, which is the main problem with condoms.


With a regular condom you also miss out on a lot of friction, which this *would* reintroduce. I've never used one, but Erika Moen (author of DAR, Bucko, etc) reviewed them with her husband at http://www.ohjoysextoy.com/internalcondom/ (NSFW) and they viewed them very positively. I'll quote the husband here:

"With an external condom, the penis is completely wrapped up, so there's less friction on your dick. The condom absorbs most of that action, not you. With the internal condom, however, it's loosely lining the vaginal walls. As you're fucking there's actual friction on your cock, which feels wonderful! With enough lube, I would even say it's ALMOST as good as bareback."

So, maybe don't dismiss them quite so readily. The husband did mention that they're somewhat unsightly, however.

Khenra,

Your situation is almost so damn close to mine when it comes to condoms, it is almost scary.
I'm however in a bit more luck than you, since i've been seeing a girl lately who has a "spiral" (anti-conception) and we both got tested on STD's.

I've had the same problem since forever. There is some foreplay, you get hard, she gets wet. Some more foreplay, and once the condom comes over your dick and it all just softens up, or it doesn't feel as good. IMO it's such a hassle, but at the same time it is an important hassle...

I wish I could give you advice on how to work around this, but unfortunately I don't. I usually don't pick up girls after one night out, because I'm not really interested in easy sex. It always goes in steps for me and as such, it becomes easier to talk about sex beforehand.
I've also tried all kinds of different stuff, but the only one that works for me is getting drunk to such an level, that you can "confuse" your dick.... haha.....

It usually ends up with heating eachother up and before the moment of infiltration, you just ask if she has birth-control / STD. So far, I've got no children and no STD's (got tested as of 2 weeks ago :o ).

At this moment I'm having great sex with a great and smart girl. So just don't give up :D

I think you should run time trials on opening and then putting on the condom so that your condom-usage will be quicker than your phallic deflation. If you can quickly open the package and put it on in the space of 10 seconds, you shouldn't have any problems (I think) unless you require continuous and vigorous stimulation to maintain even the weakest of erections, and if this is the case, I think you might want to seriously consider cialis or viagra.

This is terrible advice. If anything, you should masturbate more so you can be ready to get hard and ejaculate at any time, in any situation.

DAE use condoms at first, and after like ~half a dozen times and her saying shes on a BC that you stop using them?

I already have trouble busting with new relationships as it is, with condoms I pretty much can't at all.

What usually ends up happening is we bang a couple of times, where I'll be dripping sweat, she came a few times, is sore/tired and we stop. She feels like she did something wrong, or something is wrong with me even if I try and explain it.

It seems that it's even more important for the girl to get her man off than it is for the man to get the girl off. Like the girl's take serious internal issue with it. Where as guys are just like "It's a challenge!" even if she is just one of the ~50% of women who simply can't orgasm even with masturbation.

And eventually she just rips it off and then I'm good.

Bleh
