No one could have predicted it. It was completely out of left field. Unheard of. I’m saying that this is unprecedented. We couldn’t have known! Lé sigh.

Back when they used to teach Sex Ed. All of us (boys and girls) had to try to put a condom on a banana. The kicker was we were wearing goggles with vaseline smeared on the lens and had thick rubber gloves on.

This was to simulate trying to put on a condom well under the influence.

Maybe another myth can be cleared out too, the one of "one size fits all". Curiously it is totally okay to have smaller condoms, but mot bigger...

Too small condoms give exactly the effect you're describing, IMO.

For me it was the opposite, I needed the dulling to go a reasonable amount of time, but that wasn't addressed either. There are ultra thin condoms, and lubing up before bagging up can help.

I got those crappy condoms they gave out for free. It also dulled the sensation to the point of losing my erection.

Years later I found out that store bought condoms actually can feel good. If I had known that, maybe I would have used them.

Were you trying the good kind or the cheap ones they give out for free at health centers? I started with the free ones and they were terrible. I tried the Trojan sample packs and found that I didn't even notice the condom any more. One time I actually had to stop and make sure it didn't break because it literally felt like it wasn't even there!

I still have trouble maintaining when I stop to even put the condom on, but that's a separate issue.

I had the same problem when I was younger. I then ordered a pack of most brands out there to find what worked for me. I landed on Crown. Even then, it's still not as good. I have since had a vasectomy and only use condoms to keep my toys safe.

But yeah, none of this is taught to teens. Education in america is a fucking joke.

I just stopped making PI* the main course of my sexual banquette. There's much better ways to spend time with a sexy person.

it's lack of sensation for me since i'm uncircumcised and the 2 layers when i wear a condom guarantees no sensation.

i suspect that you don't hear much about this subject because it's the Achilles heals of condoms where nothing will help it and people don't engage unless they think they have something that can help.

Sure but do realize you are an outlier. In general teens are More likely to orgasm prematurely and a thin modern condom is a relatively minor sensory barrier and can improve the duration of sexual encounters

Similar experience, if less severe. I was able to use rubbers at least some of the time, but they went the hell away as soon as the relationship became serious.

One thing that helped was making sure the damn thing was the right size. For all you youngins reading.

This is really unprovable, but my theory is that this is also another result of late-stage capitalistic exhaustion. While young people still want to be ethical and moral and safe, there's a lot of moment-to-moment existential rebellion with so many layers of rules, norms and expectations.

It's similar to the rise of "treat" habits - if there's no realistic possibility of the American dream and house and white picket fence and kids for an average worker's salary, you have a moment of probably irresponsible spending that feels life affirming, to shake off the feeling of being in a Matrix pod that's sucking out your life force in the most efficient manner possible.

Hence, no condom! Or something.

This is what you get when you constantly gut education

Public funding? In my freedom!? Get that communist nonsense out of here!!!
