Having sex should be a pleasurable experience for both men and women, but when condoms get in the way of a good time, it can really spoil the experience. Many men experience loss of sensation and other discomfort when using a condom.
why do you need condoms
The first thing to remember is that condoms not only protect you from unwanted pregnancy but also from sexually transmitted diseases and infections, so they are important. Even if your sexual partner is on birth control, you still want to use protection against catching something, especially if you just met them.
get rid of condoms
If you’ve been with someone for a while, you’ve both had health checks, and she’s taking other types of birth control, then you can stop using condoms. If she is not on some form of birth control then she may want to consider this. There are a multitude of options available, not just the birth control pill. The IUD is a device that is inserted into the uterus and provides contraception for at least five years without having to do anything (such as remember to take a pill every day). Research her options with her and get condoms out of her life.
if you need to use them
Unless you’re in a long-term exclusive relationship, then you simply can’t (or shouldn’t) have sex without one, even if you’ve had a vasectomy or she’s on the pill. As a friend once told me, you never know what’s lurking down there. So if you can’t live without them, you should try to improve the experience. Here are some tips:
- Choose your type of condom carefully
- You can buy thinner condoms that are specifically designed to prevent “loss of sensation” (such as Lifestyles Ultra Sensitive)
- Be careful because thinner condoms can break more easily, so you may need to control it or be a little more gentle.
- If you don’t like condoms because they give you hives or a rash, itch, or make you dizzy, it’s probably because you’re allergic to latex. It’s time for another material (see your options below).
- Add Texture – Some condoms come ribbed, studded, and even marbled to add more sensation for both of you.
- Get your right size. Don’t look for the largest size in the store just to impress the cashier. There is a chance that she might fall off during intercourse and then hit you trying to impress a baby. Also, if you get one that’s too small or just tight, it could break while you’re inside her. The only way is to buy a few options and see which ones fit the best. Beyond Seven is a good brand to try for those who are well endowed.
- Have him wear one. Yes, there are condoms for her, made of Polyurethane that can be inserted hours before sex. But if she doesn’t do it correctly, you could get pregnant or catch a disease.
Comparing Material Types
- Latex (rubber): can cause allergic reactions, protect against STDs and pregnancy, but like most contraceptives, not 100%.
- Polyurethane (such as Trojan Supra or Avanti Polyurethane): This can be good for regaining some feel because the material warms up with your body heat (so you can at least get close to actual contact feel).
- Tactylon – similar to polyurethane.
- Sheepskin – can be expensive and does not protect against STDs, including HIV.
- polyisoprene – (darling) latex-free and super soft to stretch with you and enhance sensations.
You may be telling yourself but I want sex without condoms! You are not alone in the battle. Many men don’t like (even hate) wearing them, but you have to think about their purpose. In most situations, it’s simply not feasible to leave protection out of the equation. You have to remember that if there were no condoms, you might not be having sex at all. So consider yourself lucky they were invented and try to make the experience as comfortable as possible by buying the right ones.
