Are condoms really that bad?

I'm so sick of hearing guys bitching about having to wear condoms. Like, they can't be that bad or they wouldn't be the most popular form of birth control.

I know that without a condom is going to feel better, but they can't be that bad right?

Like sorry dude no glove no love.
It is much harder to have an orgasm with a condom on. The upside is I can fuck for a really longtime with a condom on. The downside is she might get sore or we run out of time.

If I were single, wearing a condom would be much better than an unwanted pregnancy or catching an STD. You can get creative about how to finish off.
they tend to leave nasty taste in your mouth :-)
Yeah the only problem with condoms is they are unpleasant during oral sex so I prefer to get tested asap so we don't have to use them for protection from STDs. But the technology is so good these days that for contraception during lovemaking they are ideal.
They've always been too tight on me....

Seriously though.....I never minded them when I was single.
"Being male is a matter of birth.
Being a man is a matter of age.
Being a gentleman is a matter of choice."
It's hard to get them in the right size. And your foreskin can't move in it which slows down your orgasm.
slows things down but that can be a good thing. Getting them on can be a problem particularly if you get skin rather than the condom when pulling it on.
Personally, I don't notice much difference between wearing a condom and going bareback, at least when it comes to sensation. As such, I almost always wear a condom for all of the obvious benefits.

However, lately, I've begun to notice disadvantages which I had not previously considered. First, putting one on can get in the way of foreplay. The overwhelming majority of the time I can grab one and put it one without stopping what I am doing but sometimes I can't find them, I can't get the thing open, or it's not rolling on properly. These are all pretty minor gripes but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that it can kill the mood a little. Second, it causes discomfort on her end. The texture of the condom is far rougher than my cock and without using lube, it's significantly less pleasurable for her.

Admittedly, I've had sex without a condom but it is not my usual routine. Every time that it has happened I have left the decision to forgo one up to her. She'll know far better than I as to where she is in her cycle and how well she has kept up with her birth control.

I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?

I feel more comfortable wearing one knowing I have taken precautions for myself and her. A guy should be prepared to wear a condom and be responsible for having one.

Seen too many guys ignore the risks and then can't believe they are about to be a daddy. Just dumb.
It's not a problem for me in any way; they can even help me last longer at times.

And to guys who complain about finding condoms that are big enough for them: these things are extensible enough to be put around your arm or your head, I don't quite see what the issue is (especially since some brands sell X-large versions). I've tried putting one around my arm once, and it wasn't even uncomfortable or blocking my circulation:


In the past, I've had trouble getting it up if I know I have to put one on. Purely psychological...I know. And It's mine to work on. And yes, I notice a huge reduction in sensation. I keep hearing about female condoms and how much better they feel.
I hate the things! So I can imagine how guys feel about them.

I applaud your desires to have safe sex and to stick to your convictions!

I know many will complain about it but in many of the higher end swingers groups, condoms are a MUST!
So whether or not the amateurs hate it, you DO what YOU want and have it YOUR WAY!

At least you're giving yourself a chance to be around a lot longer to enjoy more sex over the years ahead!

Kisses!

Never enjoy them, but tolerate them. It does rob the feeling. I mean, it's a bummer not actually feeling the direct heat/wetness like you can bareback.

Also had a meh experience where I got surprise sex from a female friend (and didn't have condoms on me at the time). The one she had on her was terrible. Lost erection almost immediately, though part of that was probably b/c the thing felt like a vice. Not a pleasant feeling having your dick constricted by something more like a wound rubber band than a condom. (learned to always keep my own brand on hand from then on. Never trust the condom to the girl. They've never worn one. Cheap ass ones will strangle your dong). We trusted each other and she was on the pill, so we said to hell with it and it was much smoother sailing after that. Pun intended.

But like they say, better wrapping that shit than losing that shit. If it's casual/don't know the girl, I'm not going in blind. I like my dick too much to subject it to disease. Not lay is worth that.
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?

Not sure never used one
Used them for most of my active sex life (which is largely over or at least on hold right now) save when wife and I were trying to get pregnant. I do enjoy bareback but find condoms aren't a big constraint. I'm a bit hypersensitive and prone to PE so a well-lubed condom can actually enhance sex for me. Yes, it can break the flow but if you plan for it, keeping the condoms ready and in reach, you can work it into your play fairly easily.

In recent years, when I've been playing around a bit with escorts, they all insist on condoms for intercourse and many do for oral as well (some do offer bareback blowjobs, aka BBBJ, though). Of course, they may be seeing half a dozen to a dozen guys a day so the protection is very necessary for them. They are masters at working it in to play, too. A couple of my favorites have mastered the technique of putting them on with their mouths.

I am on the pill and I always remember to take it, plus I work around my "schedule". My boyfriend does not use condoms, and since we're both clean I don't care, but he still complains about them every chance he gets.

I see a lot of mixed opinions about them. From my perspective, it does feel better for me without them, and yes they do leave a bad taste, but nothing a sexy shower can't solve...

That's what I always say! My comeback for "condoms don't feel good/they kill the mood", "well so do babies and std's".
After using them 3-4 times they get stretched out and slide off. I know what you are thinking "3-4 times!?" Its simple really. When you get done, just shake the fuck out of it, and its as good as new!

Um, no. That's not how it works.XU7uctzM7EZY8Jqd
If you have enough to last you lovemaking session there fine. If it's just a wam bam thank u man there great. But for a intense evening of lovemaking, pleasing each other the way sex should be then there a pain unless you have a box your partner will assist you in putting them on.
Well that's just my opinion, sorry if you don't like.

I hate them but they're a necessary evil... BUT!!! STD's are no joke and one mistake can be as serious as a heart attack. Also getting someone pregnant can be both expensive and can change people's lives radically against their will.

I've also found that the "right one" can make a big difference. I had a female friend that had a Trojan Magnum in her bedside table drawer and she suggested I try it when the one I had restricted my feeling.

It was amazing and it was hard to tell I was wearing it and I'm not hung like a horse or anything like that.

They're available at most convenience stores here and now I carry a few.

Also condoms are a use once and throw away device. Anyone that thinks it's ok to reuse one doesn't understand or doesn't care.

All that being said most women I know that like sex often have a bunch of them on hand but don't count on it.

Really guys! If you are a responsible adult and have even the slightest doubt about your partner or if they're fertile and you aren't trying to make a baby... You'll wear one.

By the way... Even with a lifetime partner I'd suggest one for anal sex EVERY time.

I don't know if any of you are aware of it but according to the news STD's are running rampant in the porn world because of their dislike of using them in their films.
Great minds think alike but dirty minds work together.... ;)

Well, I'm on a lot of pills lol
I don't use condoms, I don't like them, don't like the way that they feel, and fortunately don't need to use them, plus I had a snip-snip so... no pregnancy worries for a long time.

That being said, you should not feel bad about having your own set of rules and standards. That's the way that it is... if they don't like it there are other options ;)
Nowhere near as bad as unwanted pregnancies or STIs.
