I wanted to know if its normal to lose an erection when putting on a condom.
Also I notice that it's very hard to feel anything after I put it on.

how can I go about keeping an erection when putting on a condom.


I don't know if it matters but my size is 7.5 and some time 8 and my girth is 6.5

Nothing's 'up'! No need for a urologist! It's common. I tend to lose it struggling with a condom, or trying to gain entry and failing (if another guy is already in there!). For some reason too much poking about is a dealbreaker! Make sure you are using larger condoms- I found that improves feeling. One professional lady gave me a tip that putting some lube on the mushroom head before fitting also improves feeling in a condom. Moving up to larger size condoms is important. I had some regular size Trojans that were strangling me- now I hold them up and I'm amazed I ever tried to get into them. Whilst I'm not especially long, I am very girthy, especially lower down.

I think there was a better thread on this not long ago if you're interested. If anyone here who was in it sees this, maybe they'll remember the title and all.

Take Care

Same damn thing for my boyfriend. I made him use the largest condoms we could find an they finally fit. Happens to my boyfriend once in a while still.

even if the condom can accommodate me, i really really dislike condoms. that constant, all-encompassing restricting squeeze is just such a boner killer... i've only successfully had condom sex a few times in my life, and i've tried practicing with them while masturbating too, with mixed results. i don't know what about it is killing your boner, but i definitely share your disdain for them.

when i was younger it was just simply impossible for me to use a condom though... the pressure and anxiety i felt about losing my boner while opening it and putting it on was just as bad as the actual feel of it once it's on... not to mention the sensation it robs you of during the actual sex. the only way to really go about it, if you must, is to have patience and keep trying and do whatever you can to put less pressure on yourself in the situation. let your partner know it probably won't work ahead of time. practice jerking off with them on. and, of course, if possible, find other means of protection

Hateful things they are (why did I start talking like Yoda?). I regard them strictly as a protection dummy for the female. Protection for me seems a pretence- I love getting down and wet orally. Bareback licking all over, even slipping tongue in vagina as deep as possible. I love being squirted/gushed on and rub it all over my cock and chest, and swallow some, so for me, I can't help thinking condoms are nothing more than a gesture (and possibly a child maintenance avoider!).
I once read a recommendation to indulge in oral sex with a woman using a sheet of cling film to prevent direct contact. Took me days to stop laughing about that. The whole delight of sex is getting down and dirty with someone who turns you on. Condoms are the equivalent of that sad sheet of cling film stopping you licking a clit into submission!

Sure protection is very important and i am totally behind the idea of safe sex, but as long as a condom feels like a prison for my dick (and we have that psychological background) it's hard to stay hard in them. At least i don't conquer myself with these latex fun-killers anymore.^^

we're about the same size. it wasn't a problem when I was younger, but I split/broke a lot of condoms and it got to be a psychological problem. luckily, most gals were on the pill and this was before HIV/Aids, so I didn't use condoms often. Later in life, my wife and I relied on condoms for birth control and Magnums had just come out. no more apprehension. condoms reduce the amount of feeling, and that's good and bad. I would last forever before cumming, the wife cumming 2-3 times before I blew my nut once.

Even all large condoms are not created equal. I've found that the Lifestyles XL works best for me. Trojan magnums are big enough, but the shape is wrong. Besides, the lube that Trojan uses stinks to high heaven. Some of the online condom sellers have spec sheets showing length and girth that are really helpful in choosing a brand.

I also have a problem losing erections when putting on a condom. Using a bigger size helped a little, but the damn thing still affects my erection. My solution was to put up with it for awhile and then got married and stopped using condoms completely.

I have this problem :( I'm not huge (check my pics) but I struggle to fit a std size durex (tight girth wise) and then get soft very quickly.

I'm hunting for some better ones now
