Not everyone can wear magnums, get over it and buy what fits. Yeah, condoms suck but you gotta do what you gotta do.
A lot of women I've complain that condoms cause wear and tear on them as well and prefer not to use them.
Condoms often fail because the instructions to use them are inadequate and really do not address the female side. The simplest suggestion is to take the condom out before the act, place it in the correct orientation very close by. It should be donned with fewer than five seconds of interruption of the Act. The other suggestions are probably too graphic for this forum.
The fumbling (man) with the package during the Act and the giggling (woman) is what makes condom application unreliable. An erection is fleeting, even for a young man. A giggle or discomfort will eliminate an erection in a few seconds. Once a condom is unrolled, its difficult to recover. So, the device is just tossed or the Act is terminated.
Most men I've talked to say, "they haven't found a condom that feels as good on as it does off". Placing a barrier in between the penis and vagina might have something to do with that!
What is rarely mentioned is how alcohol and common over-the-counter drugs (cough medicine) reduce erectile ability. It took me ten years to figure out the cough medicine issue as I would dose up when visiting girlfriends with cats to which I was allergic.
What's needed is a small but highly stretchable condom. The marketing slogan could be "It'll stretch to fit even YOU!"
obvious solution: instead of small, medium, and large, the sizes should be huge, gigantic, and enormous.
alright man....LOL
like "tall", "grande" and "venti"? Even Starbucks knows you can't impress with a "small". - j
Failure to use the correct size of condom is why we are expecting our first child in 6 weeks. Instead of his usual large-size Trojans, DH tried one of the Her Pleasure type, which apparently only come in the regular size. Of course, it broke.
I just got snipped. No need for condoms anymore or birth control for her.
That's too bad that the reason for not using condoms is so teeny weenie.
There was recently an article about men in India having a problem due to condoms being too big. They should list them according to the size they will fit, such as a 3 or a 6, or a 8 and make more sizes.
Re-write:
"Dumb @!$%#" may explain why men refuse condoms.
What golden truth will you provide for why a large percentage of women shun condoms?
"Dumb @!$%#" may explain why women refuse condoms.
Been so long since I tried to use one that I didn't know they came in different sizes.
I was thinking the same thing. All I remember was different colors and ribbed or smooth and lubricated or not. I remember when they cost a dime in the mens room at the gas station.
I recall a story (I hope is true) about the NASA Apollo program. Astronauts had to urinate into a tube device, which came in different sizes, labeled by the engineers as "small", "medium" and "large". One of the astronauts quickly changed the labels to "Large", "Extra Large" and "Stupendous". Problem solved.
Maybe this study should have been larger (no pun intended.) I mean, seriously, just over 400 subjects is even a study??????? There's that many men in my neighborhood.
Why do I seem to be the only one questioning the validity of such studies? That's not enough people studied to come to any conclusions whatsoever.
Larger sample sizes do not assure greater reliability. It's more important to model the population. 400 is about right. That gives you a handful of points for the 1% behaviors, such as homosexuals.
I refuse them because I can't stand the smell of burning rubber.....
Hahaha . . ..
Ive heard that 3mins of properly performed jumping jacks afterward prevents her from getting pregnant. Ive never had a girl try it. Its kind of hard to do jumping jacks whens shes got noodle legs.
Article said -- Men will often not buy condoms sized "small" or even "medium," they said.
Reminds me of the first day in phys ed in 7th grade about a century ago now when the PE instructor was talking about the boys needing to buy their first jock straps. He said that when the clerk asks you "what size" the answer is not LARGE. I guess the same principle still applies.
I have had the opposite problem this article addresses. THE THINGS ARE TOO LITTLE!!! Everything other than Magnums seem to be designed for the asia market. In a pinch, I'll try one of the off brands, but after a couple minutes of trying to get one on I just give up and tell the girl that we should just call the whole thing off.
