A new survey from the Kinsey Institute reveals that 45 percent of men think their condoms are ill-fitting and often remove them before they're finished having sex. They also complained that condoms prohibited them -- and their partners -- from climaxing. Whaaaaaat? Condoms don't feel good? SOUND THE ALARM! Inquiring minds want to know: Is the problem that the condoms are really too baggy (in which case, we feel for the women), truly too snug, or are these dudes just making it up so they don't have to bag it up?
Because we've heard the "it's uncomfortable" song and dance before, fellas. And it's no picnic for us to stop while it's just getting good either, but it's worth it to avoid a round of antibiotics (or, say, the baby virus.)
The conclusion from the researchers of this survey? To "emphasize the point that men and their female sex partners may benefit from public health efforts designed to promote the improved fit of condoms." Free bananas for all!
Our response is a resounding, "Duh." We know that every guy loves to impress the drugstore check-out girl with a magnum-size purchase, but maybe it's time to let women do the buying -- after they've confirmed that their man fits the description.
Have you ever had a guy refuse to wear a condom?

Nothing is more uncomfortable than an unplanned pregnancy. I also hear AIDS is a bit of an inconvenience and keeps people from climaxing. Think about that next time you want to take your condom off before you're done.

I am HPV positive because some jerk decided to take off the condom before he finished. When I confronted him, directly after I realized what happened, he said it was uncomfortable. Because of his decision, I now have to get checked every few months for cervical cancer.

I wouldn't sleep with a man who had a problem with me protecting my health. Condoms *do* come in various sizes, so "they never fit right" is no excuse. Condom or no condom. There is no try!

I won't f--- anybody if I have to wear a piece of latex between me and them. I'm not saying I'm going to take risks, but it'd feel better to f--- an animal than to f--- a woman (or man) with a condom. Pregnancy: take the G-D pill. I believe in this very simple principle: if if feels good, do it. If it doesn't feel good (and a condom doesn't feel good) don't do it. Beating off beats wearing a condom.

Bestiality and beating off is all you'll get if you won't put on a condom when she asks.

Clearly none of the women comprehend ED from a lack of sensitivity. Maybe if women would get better at pleasing their men we'd be able to climax inside those ziploc bags!

You're partner is only as bad at pleasing you as you let them be.
If they're not doing something right, you should be working with them to fix it.
It takes two people to have sex so the problem is at least half yours.

Holy hell the misogyny in these comments is staggering!
Any man who says it's as simple as women getting on the pill obviously has never read a damn thing on the pill or any other form of birth control or anything else that has to do with womens reproductive health because you're probably a self centered ass.
If you suffer from a lack of sensitivity- blame your parents for that circumcised staff you've got. If they'd left the neck on the sweater you probably wouldn't be having this problem. That or you need to jerk it less.
As a female- I agree- condoms kind of suck but they're the price you pay in exchange for sex that doesnt come with disease or infants.
On that note- if you (a guy) aren't going to wrap it up, let us know before we drive all the way to your place and waste our time. We (the ladies) will make the call from there.
This- the condom doesnt fit, line- is bull. Buy the right size and communicate with your partner, because all those things you learned from porn are wrong.

1) Women hate condoms, too. Hello, dryness! Especially those NYC ones, they absorb lube like nothing else. It sucks and it's no fun, we know.
2) I have tried a diaphragm @kaos theory, and they cause yeast infections if you use it more than one day in a row. Which we will then spread to you. Ever had to rub Monistat on your junk? Um...next!
3) I don't think the fit thing is bullshit. Especially if the guy was willing to put it on at the beginning of the session, and then had to remove it for discomfort. He tried, OK? Why would he do that if he didn't want to be safe?(Obviously doing it without permission is NOT cool...)
The best thing to do is to buy a mixed pack of condoms from an online site like Babeland or something and then try out all the different brands until your guy finds a fit that he can live with. Then, only buy that brand from now on.

ON THE PILL:
I know PLENTY of women who are REALLY BAD at taking their pill correctly, meaning on a daily basis and at the same time every day. This is especially true of women who get drunk and fall asleep at locations that aren't their own place. So guys "take the pill" is a great mantra to have...but you are entirely banking on the fact that the chick is really together and going to make no mistakes FOR 28 DAYS IN A ROW. (Not to mention if she gets sick and goes on an antibiotic the pill doesn't work at all).
Here's a stat: if you use condoms and the pill together the chances of an unplanned pregnancy are 1 in 100,000. (Condom: 1/100. Pill, 1/1000. Do the math) There is no good argument for not using both.

Ah, here the enemy of the good is the perfect. Sex is like spaghetti, when it's good, it's great. When it's bad, it's still pretty good. Without a condom is best. With a condom is still pretty damn good. If it ain't, you're not doing it right. Give her what she wants and you'll be back together in no time. Be a selfish ass and you'll spend lots of time alone.

Mr.Captain Idiot,
I am sorry to knock you off "High-Horse" but the vaccine is NOT available to all women, my daughter is over 25 and has been told she is not able to have the shot.
Yes, condoms do protect against a lot of STDs but they are not fool proof. I suggest rather than blaming one another, the folks that design them, hear and heed the desire to have a comfortable fit that pleases all.
BTW,men complain that often they are trapped into being fathers by counting on the female to protect them from parenthood...It is well past the time for men to grow up and take the precautions on your own! If you never want children then see a doctor to fix that on a permanent basis. There would be far fewer abortions and unwanted pregnancies.

F*** the dumbsh**t, I love skin on skin as much as the next person, but I care about my health. Thankfully I've been free of issues, but I don't need any itching, burning sensations, unplanned pregnancies to soak up my income, or last but not least any life-threatening diseases.
Bag it. And being a guy, I'll point out that women are just as much at risk of spreading as a guy is, so fellas, don't get some stupid idea she's safe. (all due respect to women of course).

Those who have sex without the intention of reproducing have the complications and consequences which arise from their ignorance and deviance. Now that most of the society has joined in the deviance, America has become a decadent nation indulging in war at home and abroad. Self-satisfaction and self-preservation in the end lead to misery for self and for others.
