The Gender Paradox In India
Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg Ducks Questions About IPO Debacle
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?

Goddamn! >: This irks me. I bet I'm half the age of the vast majority, hell, maybe even a third of the age of most people here, and both my boyfriend and I know that condoms are safe. We've been having sex for about...oh, god, how long has it been? All I know is that we've tried 8 different condom brands, and finally settled on one--because it's comfortable for both partners. If it doesn't fit right, then, sorry, you've either got too small a dick to even pleasure a woman, or you need a loosey-goosey. Don't blame it on the females--we're just trying not to get pregnant! Anti-pregnancy in the form of pills, patches, and shots aren't goddamn comfortable either: you either take a stupid little pill everyday at the same fucking time you took it the day before, you wear a sticky patch on your buttocks, or you get a large-ass needle stuck into your ass cheek four times a year! I bet more than three-quarters of you damn selfish men haven't ever had to deal with that shit before, have you? So, bitch, please. Stop your whining about the condoms: they will fit. You just have to try brand after brand after brand. I recommend Trojan or Durex. Or Kimono.

The price of an abortion is the price of one month's rent for me, plus the possible emotional baggage. My boyfriend and I are DEAD SET against having kids of our own. Our DNA will not continue on this earth.
I'm thinking of getting one of those copper iud's, (A grand for one time, and then twelve years of protection with no huge invasive operation? Hells yeah!) and my boyfriend is getting a vasectomy. Until then, condoms for us.

I don't mind condoms, it makes me last longer and I love going as long as possible. Women tend to as well... but my friends and I have talked about it before and women often tell the guy to not use the damn thing to begin with, and it forms a mindset that you shouldn't bother trying to use one.
Basically, this isn't just the males mindset. Women reject the use of condoms just as often.

Real talk, condoms are just fine with me. I don't know why other guys have a problem with them; maybe I'm an anomaly. Either way, I have no problem throwing a condom on. She comes first, and honestly, it's to protect me as much as her from catching anything. It's just the smart and right thing to do.

I hate condoms. They dry out my typically super-lubed V Jay. I can't orgasm using condoms, but without them I can get downright Tantric. I use the nuva-ring so I am not worried about the baby virus. I thought to myself, "hey I just need a man I can trust not to give me the clap or worse, teh herps" and I thought I did.
Then because "condoms don't fit, aren't confortable, make my dick itch" or whatever excuse guys have, he didn't use a condom with the girl he Fed behind my back. She apparently had been a victim of uncomfortable condom syndrome to because she gave him the clap which he then gave to me.
Think about the sleaziest things you've done in your life and remember that chances are someone else has done just as bad or worse. Girls need to get measured for their bras, guys figure out which condom fits you and stick with it. Do you really want to get caught cheating cause you gave her the clap?

Personally, I would rather not have sex than use a condom. It just doesn't seem like sex. I want to have safe sex though so I am left with having to trust the woman, which is fine, I shouldn't be having sex with a woman I don't trust anyways. Pregnancy is a different issue, the only real options are with the woman. If I had an option like a pill, shot, etc. I would jump on it. Unfortunately there is no such thing yet. I can't believe some of the things that guys do(I'm not saying women are any better...). I would never even consider doing something so thoughtless, yet I seem to rarely have dates. I'm too "nice", even though I do know what I am doing and make the conscience effort to be polite. Ladies, please be able to make the distinction between a guy that is "nice" out of stupidity and servitude, and one who is polite because he chooses to be. Big difference. You should also be able to tell that a guy is a scumbag and not date him in the first place. I am always amazed by the women that go out with an obvious loser only to realize it later when they are treated like crap. Lets define the difference here, "GUYS" do that sort of devious thing, "MEN" do not.

I don't insist that my man wear a condom. I'm lucky: we were both virgins when we began! And I am obsessive about taking my little white pill (actually, they're blue, but let's not go into little blue pills!).
I think if I was ever in this situation, and his whining wasn't too much of a turnoff (after all, I guess I wouldn't blame a guy for asking) I would lie to the crybaby and claim I have herpes. That would make him slap one on, pronto!

I can't tell you how I've laaaauuuuughed reading some of these comments. I'm talking to you, fellows saying that safe sex is a woman's responsibility.
It takes 2 to do the following: Spread STDs and make a baby.
Men who don't want to bag it and demand they're partner go on the pill: Since when does the pill protect against STDs? Is it fun to show off the clap discharge in the locker room these days? It must be if you don't care to protect yourself. Asking the gal, "Hey baby...you been tested?" is not a reliable method for staying healthy.
Ladies who meet the aforementioned men: Don't apologize or explain or rationalize. ASK before you go home with him. Remind him on the ride there. Demand in the bedroom. Leave if he refuses. Stop in the middle if he removes it. It's up to YOU to keep the boundry in place.

I do find condoms uncomfortable. I'd ask that you think me not an insensitive jerk, however--it's caused actual pain and made me stop wanting to have sex at all. (that's one way to prevent pregnancy.) I've tried wearing condoms before, and had to stop altogether because it was so painful. And, yes, it does reduce pleasure and sensitivity--that's just fact. Skin on skin feels great. Skin on rubber on skin... eh, not so much. (but, we men struggle through anyway!) Dudes, if you feel this way, you're not alone.
That being said, I'd rather NOT have sex than have unsafe sex, or do something that made my partner feel uncomfortable.
So, I say this for any other guys who may have the same problem I do (pain while wearing condoms): Don't be modest! Find a bigger condom, and be proud of your girth. Don't stand for painful condoms--get yourself some magnums. Shop around for what actually feels good.
ALSO: Be sure you're not having an allergic reaction... otherwise, rejoice! You're too large for standard condoms, and that's not a bad thing. :)
