Solution: get the girl to help you put it on.
I tried this but they aren't usually good at it for some reason.
Another thing that would help is if while you're fishing around your drawer or whatever for the condom and taking out of the packaging etc (enough time to begin wilting) your partner would make some sort of effort to keep you aroused. I don't understand why so many of the girls I've been with seem to think that they should sit back and stare off into space while I'm doing all this!

This is exactly why it's good to get them involved with putting on the condom. True, they're usually not good at it (hey, practice makes perfect!), but at least you're touching each other and interacting, rather than the guy fumbling around while the girl lies around and waits. At the very least, you can both have a good laugh about the whole thing, which decreases the stress and anxiety that either person may be feeling.

okay, another question:

exactly how long does it take you guys to roll a rubber tube down your penii (penium, penises??)

I'm not sure. It's harder to do with a stopwatch in one hand.

well, try one-mississippi, two-mississippi then

― d.arraghmac, Saturday, 6 November 2004 23:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Aw hell, I can't say those big words when I'm concentrating on my cock.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 6 November 2004 23:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Besides, if you say mississippi a few times by the time you get the condom on you have to pee.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 6 November 2004 23:44 (nineteen years ago) link

this topic has been hijacked somewhat.

besides, if you need to urinate slightly your orgasm is much more intense.

We need to do a series of tests of that hypothesis involving mothers walking into their adolescent sons' bedrooms right at the Crucial Moment.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 6 November 2004 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link

how about walking into the kitchen?

― d.arraghmac, Sunday, 7 November 2004 00:04 (nineteen years ago) link

That can be the control group.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Sunday, 7 November 2004 00:20 (nineteen years ago) link

no, the control group would have to be the aunts that changed your bedsheets while staying over once...

they smell so gross. Condoms, I mean. What is that about?

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Monday, 8 November 2004 03:12 (nineteen years ago) link

complaining about condoms, to me, is kind of like complaining about penicillin.

I am allergic, to penicillin.

Two probs with male pill:
- no way to prove guy has taken it (and he's not the one at risk of the bubbeh, so you know...)
- scientists claim they wont release one til they can get past all the supposedly nasty side effects like loss of libido, weight probs and etc. HELLO WE ALREADY PUT UP WITH THIS WITH THE FEMALE PILL.

Sorry, slight bugbear of mine.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 8 November 2004 03:15 (nineteen years ago) link

The loss of libido problem strikes me as a bigger problem with the male pill than with the female pill, mainly there are ways to get around loss of physical arousal with females if they're mentally interested, whereas it's a little more difficult to do that with a dude. No amount of lube gonna help if it's just not gettin' up.

Not to agree either way with the second statement, I've never had a problem with libido loss through female pills. The one girl I knew who bitched about this a lot, it was not a mental arousal issue, it was a physical wetness issue.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Monday, 8 November 2004 03:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Maybe they should sell it with viagra, sort of like how RU486 is two steps, male pills are two steps. This obviously means about 4 people in the world will use it regularly.

Pardon the TMI but anyway:

More than once I'm tempted to get a vasectomy simply because the likelihood of me not having kids is growing. Unfortunately, some data indicates that going that route increases the risk of prostate cancer -- and as I've said a few times my family clearly has that as a specific genetic risk (my grandfather died of it, my uncle nearly so, my dad was detected early last year), so I'm not anxious to increase it.

You're assuming loss of libido in males is always a bad thing - not sure it would be to be honest.

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 8 November 2004 11:56 (nineteen years ago) link

no way to prove guy has taken it (and he's not the one at risk of the bubbeh, so you know...)

are the ways to prove that girls have taken it? (the dudes don't have to carry the bubbeh but it doesn't mean he's not "at risk" of it!)

haha for mark a loss of libido will just bring it back to slightly above average.

eight months pass...

We were discussing this last night with friends, and we agreed that the worst thing about condoms, besides the lessened sensation, is that with them sex often becomes performance-oriented... You can't have longer pauses and cuddling and stuff in between, because you can't let the little man to go limp. Or at least you'll have to have several condoms lying around, which often isn't the case. But obviously in many cases they're still the only reasonable option, so you'll just have to accept them as the necessary evil.

Having to say, "Well, um, don't we need to... get something?" in the heat of the moment = TOTAL DUD

OTM right there.

fifteen years pass...

Oh no god, please help me...

Vietnam police seize more than 320,000 used condoms

...The condoms were reportedly washed, reshaped with wooden dildos and then repackaged before being resold...

"Wooden dildos"??
