Putting on a condom

It’s a fact of life that some men don’t know how to put on a condom. Don’t put on a superior smirk and don’t feel embarrassed; there’s no need for either of these attitudes. Some guys have little experience when it comes to sex. Others have little experience regarding the use of condoms and prefer to go natural every time. So what? We all have to learn sometimes.

Fortunately, putting on a condom is not a big deal at all and any man, or woman for that matter, can get the hang of it in almost no time at all. If you feel you need to practice before attempting this during sex, by all means go ahead. Condoms can be bought from any pharmacy or, if you don’t feel like informing the pharmacist about your activities, you can use the vending machines.

What you need is an erect penis or something that looks like one, such as a banana or anything else that has the general shape of a penis and does not bend during the test. Break open the pack and take a condom out. Open the foil by tearing away one side and be careful about it. Remember that is very important to keep the condom undamaged. If you manage to botch this step and tear the condom, get another from the pack. Never use a torn condom during sex because it’s perfectly useless. It won’t protect you from STIs and it won’t protect the lady from unwanted pregnancy.

Next, remove the condom from the torn foil and look at it. You will notice that a small tip is hanging on one side of the condom. Be careful though because this tip contains a bit of air and trapping air inside the condom is not a good idea. Grab the tip between your thumb and forefinger and squeeze the air out. And while keeping your fingers on the tip, place the condom on the head of your penis with the tip up. Use your other hand to roll the condom down the length of your shaft.

And this is the final stage of the whole process. Now you are ready for sex and armed with the knowledge of how to properly put on a condom. The last thing you must always pay attention to is to prevent air from entering the condom because it will form pockets that are very likely to break during sex. Also be careful to buy condoms suited to your size otherwise the condom might start to slip off your penis at the worst moment possible. If you are completely new to condoms, buy a couple of sizes and try them all to see which fits you best.

When you’re done, pull out and start taking the condom off. You’d better do this out of the bed, some distance from the lady’s vagina. It would be a bummer to have sex with the condom on only to spill the load while taking the thing off you. The best way to remove it is to grab the tip as before and start pulling your penis out. Wrap the used condom in tissue paper, throw it in the garbage can and go wash. Now you’re all done.
