I didn't know where else to ask this question but im pretty sure you will have the answer, the only reason why i didn't use a condom in the first place is that as soon as my boyfriend put it on he went limp, we tried a couple times and the same thing happened... do you have any suggestions for me, because i would prefer to use condoms.

Using condoms is a very good idea until you both have been tested and found free of STDs. You might want to try a larger size if the one's you are trying to use seem too tight for him. Or, you can try using the Female Condom. FCs are sold in the family planning section of pharmacies along with male condoms. FCs are slightly less effective than male condoms. I think that's primarily because if he slips out there is a chance that he could reinsert outside your sheath. So, if he does slip out be sure to guide him to make certain he's back inside the condom. Another thing about FCs is that you need a sense of humor when using them as they can make rude noises at the most inopportune times! Let us know what you decide, ok?

Good luck,

if it bothers you, ask him to try waering a condom on when he masturbates.Sometiems that helps them get used to it...
