Condomophobia?

pogo mudder

I have this wierd thing where, right before all the sex. If i put a condom on, after about 15-20 seconds i completely lose my erection and go all flacid. I have no idea why.
This wasn't really an issue with my previous girlfriend as she was on the pill for like 4 years. Has anyone else had this issue, any solutions?

thanks

Doc

yeah that can happen. Will she put it on for you?

pogo mudder

both methods have the same effect, i'd mainly like to know, why this happens

Try larger condoms.

I used to have this problem occasionally. For a long time I thought it was for psychological reasons, and that probably was a factor, because I could overcome it by mentally working myself up enough. But I finally realized that the regular sized condoms were just too small. Putting them on shouldn't be a painful or uncomfortable process, but if it's all you've ever used, you don't necessarily know what it's supposed to feel like. I recently switched to Magnums and the difference was like night and day; I haven't had any problems since. Also, try putting a little lube on before you put on the condom.

it happens because your dick is all "hey why the fuck do I have a balloon on me this isn't right."

the answer is practice

ed: also yeah, try some different condoms. Maybe thins would do it for you.

Try masturbating with a condom on for practice.

I used to have that problem as well, in part because of the change in stimulation. I've always had a bit of a rougher technique than is likely wise (and am consciously trying to curtail that), so that likely didn't help.

I also had problems with using ones that were too small, which at times was an opposite problem, wherein it felt like my penis was being held very, very pleasurably. A little TOO pleasurably, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, also not a helpful scenario.

Then I tried Durex Sheik Sensi-thin, which both seemed to be big enough (without being actually loose, of course) to not compound my self restraint, while being thin enough to maintain sensation very pleasurably.

I lost a boner once while wearing a condom. Switched to ultra-thin and haven't had a problem since.

Ultra-thins definitely help. Small/large really shouldn't be an issue, and in general a snug fit is going to feel more like you're having sex with a woman (compared to a large condom which will likely feel more like you're having sex with a trash bag). Also try going at least a few days without masturbation to see if it's simply a stimulation thing.

This, I cannot stress this enough. Try it out.

Yeah, if it feels like a vice is clamping down on your penis, you might want to switch to bigger ones. Regular magnums work better than whatever I was using before. I was all worried that my dong would die not too long after putting it on, then realized the condoms should not be strangling me.

Yes this. Also try magnums.

Kistra

Condoms being cold can do that too. You don't want the condom warm while being stored, but warm it up for a bit before putting it on.

You'll thank me later.

supabeast

Teach her to put it on with her mouth.

Forkes

If you are using any kind of condoms that promote their "long lasting" properties, it's probably using a numbing gel, which is definatly gonna make you go soft/numb.

Druhim

if he's going limp seconds after putting it on, I don't see what the thickness of the condom has to do with it since he hasn't even had a chance to really be stimulated with it on yet

pogo mudder

okay cheers guys i'll try some larger sizes, they are always very very 'snug' so that might just be the issue.

you can lock this up now
