I don't have any experience with this but I've known guys who have complained about condoms being too small, not being comfortable during sex, and I'm not quite sure if I believe them. Condoms are meant to feel like nothing and I've used condoms on my toys and I feel no difference. Are guys acting on pride and making it up that condoms are uncomfortable or are they actually uncomfortable?

Not if they're fitted correctly. The only issue I have with them is that they dull the sensitivity. My ex wouldnt even fellate me unless i was wearing one, and i was disappointed with that.

its hard to explain, but they can get uncomfortable.

It can be mildly uncomfortable if you don't find the right fit for you, and it does change the sensation. There's no real way to put rubber over the part of your body and for it to feel like nothing.

Nah, not really...you know it's there, and it feels...awkward, but not really uncomfortable. Putting it on can be a pretty comical event if you're not practiced enough though. I'm obviously not.

I don't like them. It reduces sensitivity for me and it takes a really long time to finish. When I first started having sex, it took me about three hours to finish. Also condoms have a chance to break, especially with rough sex. I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable for me, but it was definitely not as pleasurable. She was on birth control, so it was mostly safe sex. I trusted her not to have an STD when we stopped using them, not that I roccomend that.

A vasectomy is more reliable than condoms, after the initial 110 or so days post-surgery. Maybe you could suggest that and printouts of STD testing results if they really don't like condoms.

I wouldn't rip out my insides just so a guy can feel more pleasure. That's like asking him to cut off his testes because I don't like the way cum tastes.

A vasectomy is an outpatient procedure. It involves cutting the tubes that bring sperm out of the scrotum. It is much easier and less painful than tubal ligation, as well as being twice as reliable. Ripping guts out is a bit of an overstatement even for tubal ligation. Most men who get a vasectomy can do it over a long weekend without missing work.

Sperm only accounts for about 1% of semen. The testicles really don't contribute much to the texture, taste, or appearance of semen. That's why these are unaltered when a vasectomy is performed.

And I only meant to suggest suggesting it in a way that makes condoms appear to be a lesser inconvenience.

Condoms may be uncomfortable, but better than herpes for life. Now that would be uncomfortable. Not to mention other STDs that burn and sting.

Use the condom or tell them to get lost.

(PS. If you are female and want to test it out, put a finger condom on your finger then suck on it, you'll see it's not that big a deal for the wearer.)

There are lots of condoms on the market and there are ones that even increase the sensation. It is just a matter of finding the right product.

Just make sure not to use lambskin but use latex or, if allergic to latex, polyurethane.

Yeah, but that's for serious relationships or marriages, I don't think just any guy is going to go through that procedure for a girl he's been dating for a short while or even a few months. And that really isn't an option if you want kids.

You have the right to choose how and who you have sex with. If you want him to wear condoms, then he will have to deal with it. I think the risk of STD's and pregnancy outweigh the increased pleasure for him. The guy will just have to learn to deal with using protection if you want him to wear it. It shouldnt be a big deal.
