A kind of embarrasing q re condoms

I bought a pack of the durex condoms "red pack" which i think were just the normal stand alone pack. When i used them however they were a bit too big as there was some sparry conny left over at the end and it was too wide so it was not as tight as i would have liked.

Basically, i wondered if somone knew of any good sized condoms for the less than average sized boy - about 6 - 6.5inches!!! NB: i aint interested in ribbed ones or anything

also, I havent used any condoms to have sex before, and i saw someones post re peeling back foreskin. I havent been doing this that often, so does it mean that when i have sex it is likely to hurt becuase i havent been practicing moving it back to help it retain its "stretchiness"

cheers all

I am absolutely 100% certain that 6-6.5inches is not below average.

But I am sure you know that.

Check the box next time you buy, most condoms are for the average size penis anyway, unless stated!
See the other thread for the question you asked about the topic being discussed in the other thread.

I love stating the ****ing obvious.

if you havent had sex, why did you use a condom. were you w*nking into it or just seeing how they work? lol, if youve got an issue, use a tissue
Hey there...

I found this: "If you are uncircumcised, push your foreskin back while you're putting the condom on. When the condom is unrolled about 1/3 the way down the shaft, with one hand pull the foreskin with the unrolled part of the condom upward while with the other hand you unroll the condom to the base of the penis. It sounds a lot harder than it actually is -- just practice a few times first and you'll get the hang of it."

on a website a while ago.. However to me this seems a little.. confusing.. Maybe someone with a penis will be able to make better sense of it.. :biggrin: However in answer to your question I dont think it will necesarily hurt but be more enjoyable if you have more.. movement when it comes to your foreskin.. My boyfriend actually emailed me the following when I pasted him that ^^

"It was probably written by a woman. No man would give any instructions like that. In fact, I can translate that into male right now:
Blah blah b0ll0cks meh condom blah shaft fraction foreskin upwards condom hand blah. Put the condom on."

So perhaps it's not as important as you think since we manage to "do it" just fine.. Perhaps it is something that you do naturally when you sort of discover it by accident.. if you know what I mean?

Anyhoo.. Hope that helps.. :s-smilie::biggrin:

Think direction.
Well you say your not interested in ribbed etc.. different durex condoms are different shaped and sized, i think if you look on their USA website rather than their UK website you can see the sizes of each. I use the ribbed and tingle ones and they work great, sounds like im similar to you... give them a try.

As for wankin into one lol erm kinda random!

Not that strange - protects from STIs (hey, maybe you have some... not all have any symptoms. The fact that you're calling your ex frigid tells me you're probably a bit slutty) and secondly, with a condom on it means you can come in her mouth without her having to spit OR swallow.

ok well anyway, my q re foreskin - i looked at a website and i saw that how big the opening is meant to be if you leave it naturally when flacid if you have practiced before. i havent done anything really and it aint that big when left normally (the opening that is) will i still be able to have sex comfertably or would i be likely to be in a lot of pain?

Don't quote me on this, I've never really studied the mechanics of sex, it just sort of happens, but I'd guess if you and your partner are well lubricated, there should be less movement of you inside in the condom, resulting in not pulling back the skin too far.
May be worth practising a little, even just to see what kind of pain you're to expect should it all go badly. After a bath or something when your skin's all supple would probably be best.

As for masturbating with a condom on, no guy can claim the first time they put one on was the first time they had sex, you've got to have tried it at least once?

What's masturbation, if it's not sex with your hand?

uhh......
I bought and tried 2 before y'know.

It's a good idea to try, saves embarrasment.

luckily i don't get embarassed when completely drunk then i guess.
Yeah, always the best time to experiment with unfamiliar contraceptives I've found :wink:
Measure your girth OP. The length is inconsequential. Also, look at the different brands to choose one right for you. Or buy a variety pack with loads different ones.

The large ones will usually say XL or XXL on them...but people should always check them out and shop around because XXL may actually be smaller than some XL brands...in fact in my experience, they are.

But, I don't think they even stock many larger sized condoms here. Shat country.
