Following on from the debate about 'Testing', I have been prompted to post this thread. Could I please ask IC members for advice or suggestions as to a little problem I have. I hate using condoms, but understand they are the best solution for penetrative sex and so use them whenever I have sex. My problem, I can't find any condoms that actually fit me! I am not that different to any other man, but I find all condoms too short and too thin to accomodate me. It's only a matter of 1 or 2 mm on the girth and 3 or 4 cm for the length. The biggest Durex condoms I've seen are 56 mm with a flared tip, sounds good, but for me it's very very tight, and very restrictive (and I loose all sense of feeling). I have tried using Durex lube to put on condoms, because they are so tight (it's like putting on a latex suit without talc powder). I then have the fear of the condom slipping off during sex. So, what do you suggest? Do you have any stories to tell?
BTW I'm not giving up sex before anyone suggests it!

I've had friends stretch "normal" condoms over their heads and not be particularly uncomfortable. You sure they're too big? With all due respect, this is the sort of excuse you usually get from guys who are complete arseholes and don't care about the girls health. Not saying you are, just saying you may well get tarred with the same brush. Edited 7 Sep 09, 11:18 AM by ConsciousnessJunkie | |

How long did it take them to do it? And he does seem to be asking for advice on a suitable source so I don't think he's advocating not using them at all. I've had similar problems in the past, online tends to stock a lot of the larger sizes. I've found the 'mates' natural condoms tend to stretch more easily too. (never thought I'd be writing something like this before breakfast...) Edited to add, if you're worried about it falling off, you can always add a cock ring to the base to help hold it down Out of reach, out of sight, are you scared of what you'll see?

Seconded, I had similar problems with finding condoms that fit for years till I discovered Trojan Magnum XL's, never looked back since. They really are awesome. The problem for me was, 'large' condoms in other brands accomodate for extra length, but often not for extra girth, hence I either snapped them or felt like my cock was being strangled during sex, very uncomfortable. I order mine in 12 packs from British Condoms. It's a good site, they even have reward points

There is a good selection on here http://www.condoms.co.uk/acatalog/Pasante_Condom... and they state the size of the condoms which helps, I had similar problems myself and having tried all of the XL types found these work the best for me 'Pasante Naturelle'

You may find 'the condom wizard' helpful (just type it into google) for help in finding a condom for your needs (may it be size or something else that you are looking to accommodate in your purchase). | |

If I would be you I would go to Expectations (if you are in London) this
http://www.expectations.co.uk/default-mainmenu-1... could be something for you. or these http://www.prowlerdirect.co.uk/default-mainmenu-... at Prowler in Soho. The gay shops often have a variety of different ones, and they are just happy when big guys come in, so give it a shot. Do know they stock some other ones as well. Oh, forgot to say: great that you take ur responsibility! http://moreinches.wordpress.com Edited 15 Aug 09, 12:15 PM by Hedwig | |

On a related note, are there any recommendations for condoms that can accommodate a large PA ring? (about an inch in diameter). I've found some via the condom wizard that say they have extra "headroom", but would prefer to hear people's recommendations and first-hand experiences.
Currently I have to take my PA out to have sex, but would prefer to leave it in as it, according to my lady friends, "hits the spot" Thanks, Beads. When I had my loft converted back into a loft, |
