I'd rather not. You give up way too muck sensation wearing one. However, when with another woman, it's a given to wear one.

Don’t normally use them with my woman. We tried them for birth control. If I’m up real hard and the condole is tight on my cock it’s a delicious feeling, and reduces the sensitivity so I take longer inside her though the orgasm feels the same. I sometimes masturbate with a condom on for that nice tight feeling of a condom squeezing my cock and for a different wanking experience.

Natural feels best. But if we need BC, STD protection, or simply an easy way to prevent the cum from running down her leg (having sex in less private settings), a condom is a good thing. And if the guy wants to last longer, it slows us down.

I hate those things.

The Fantasies that run in my head are better then a man wearing a condom.

Yes I know the risks. Each must decide for themselves.

I need to live life to the fullest and condoms are not part of a full life.

And yes I am test very frequently.

Never liked them, never will. In the past they have broken on me, come off during sex even though it was so tight it was basically cutting off my blood circulation, and you always feel the woman much much less than you do when bare, no matter what they say.

Yes they are.

I won't wear them.

Aside from all the physical and operation problems that might make condoms undesirable,
think about this: If you have to have a shield between you and the person you are fucking,
should you be fucking?

P.S. to the OP: there are a lot of options other than condoms, most all of which probably better; so, why not find a compromise solution and not insist your guy accept the very option?


Better question:
If a guy is not prepared to take his part in preventing STDs and Babies, should you be fucking?

Funny discussion and nice collection of the usual crap excuses not to wear one.

My 2 pennies:
No, they are not that bad. Yes, especially on first entrance it feels nicer without. Yes it can cause a shot pause in proceedings. Anyway, for all your great lovers out in this thread, is the part where your cock is inside her really the only "sex" bit?

They at worst mildly annoying for me. Often I'm unaware its on. If my cock is ready for a good orgasm I'll have one with no problem from the rubber.

They were designed for a purpose. But pleasure, comfort and feeling were not part of the design requirements

Not a guy, but here's my view on condoms.

One, not only do they taste bad, they leave a bad taste behind, so that when you're sucking and licking and stroking him back to hardness, you don't taste your own fluids mixed together, you taste latex.

Two, at least with me, him wearing a condom sort of kills the mood, because all I can think of is whether or not he is enjoying himself, whether or not he's resenting me for decreasing his pleasure.

And three, I am crazy allergic to latex, like hundreds of thousands of others who have repeated occupational exposure to latex, in the form of gloves. This is why pretty much every healthcare facility everywhere has switched to nitrile gloves. And it's not a minor thing--latex allergy can range from mild irritation to full-on anaphylaxis, which sort of bad. I tend towards the severe reaction end--I break out in hives, my throat gets itchy, etc. And since you never know if your body is going to modify its immune response to the next latex encounter, a condom could very well induce anaphylactic shock, which if not treated immediately leads to death. Not awesome.

Full disclosure--I've not actually used a condom with a partner for ~20 years, because I've had an extremely limited number of partners and I know and trust them--although I did make both of them go submit to a battery of STI tests prior to engaging in sex. So there's that.

For those who have an allergy to latex and absolutely have to fuck random strangers, there are a couple of companies that make non-latex polyurethane (or similar) condoms, which would be a way around the latex allergy thing. I suppose if I were to be suddenly thrust out into the dating world again I'd keep those at hand. I don't know if polyurethane leaves behind a bad taste, but I suspect that it would, and if not, the spermicidal lubricant most certainly would be awful.

Finally, I'd recommend that everyone be vaccinated against two of the more insidious STI's, hepatitis B and HPV, because mistakes happen.

I use them with my current sugar daddy. He's 20 years older than me and has had a lot more sex than me, so we use them. It still feels like a penis when it's inside you.

Not if you're planning a family or interested in some sort of STD. Don't try to do manly things if you're not ready to step up and take the necessary steps for a little responsibility. Go back to playing your ebox

I don't love them, but I love the consequences of going without a whole lot less. So for casual partners, it's always been "no glove, no love." Turned down a hot redhead during an intense makeout session once because there weren't condoms available (should have gone forward with something else, but I was young and foolish).

My favorite story on this topic was a young girl (too young to be sexually active, IMO, but it's a different world than when I was fourteen) who responded to "I don't feel as much when I wear a condom" with "honey, you ain't gonna feel nothin' if you don't!"

I quite liked wearing a condom.

I am circumcisied and have a very sensitive penis head so a condom helps me to last longer.

Also, there is no mess leaking out of my wife the next day, if she has to work. Pads do collect drips but the odour is still there.

In my opinion, they aren't ideal but it's better that an unexpected pregnancy or an STD.

If a partner wants me to wear one, I respect their decision and do it. Yes, it can reduce stimulation for guys but I can still finish. Yes a condom that is too small can pinch and hurt. I get larger condoms, not for length unfortunately but for comfort due to girth. Also I buy the right condoms, not the cheapest ones. They make thin ones with special lube for better stimulation which I like very much, I once bought sheep skin condoms for a partner with latex allergies. I've had a vasectomy so for me it's really more about respect and protection.

Not great but serve a purpose when needed.

Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?

Admittedly, condoms aren't really sexy and so they never feature in my stories. But most of the sex I've had has been with one on, at least until I've known my partner a significant amount of time and am fairly certain that they're free of STDs and taking other precautions against pregnancy (or if we're at a point where pregnancy wouldn't be unwelcome if it did happen).

Don't believe everything that you read.

I prefer it actually, in a committed relationship and we’re both surgically fixed so kids aren’t an option anymore.

Less mess, no awkward cumshots, I last longer, I can bust and thrust (basically keep on going after nutting) without breaking stride, and I find the drawing out of the orgasm makes it much more intense.

In terms of getting pleasure from sex, yeah, condoms are bad.

So bad, I've never been able to cum in a condom.

They are awful. There are times when Id rather watch tv than have sex with a condom. They just dull 80% of any feeling you get. Having a wank or a blow job is much more enjoyable.
