Hi there April,
I hope you can put me in the right direction here – I feel like I’ve been searching all over the place without finding an answer.
My girlfriend refuses to sleep with me if I don’t use protection – and I agree – I think it’s right because I certainly don’t want a kid at my age!
Well, the problem is the condoms bought in stores are a lot of trouble. I wasn’t able to get them on, and when I did manage to find one I could get on, it was so tight and uncomfortable that I could not have sex. I tried at least 5 different brands, and then decided I had to check online, and I discovered they did larger sizes. So, I managed to pluck up the courage to send away for some of the larger ones (the largest I could find were 9.5 inches and a bit wider than standard condoms as well). Well, I was annoyed to discover that they were still too tight. I had no trouble getting one on at least, but once it was on, it became really tight and again I felt too uncomfortable to do anything.
This really feels like I’ve hit a brick wall now – not sure what to do. I’m not sure if it’s important for the condom to roll down all the way, but I’ve heard that if it doesn’t, it can somehow roll off. I can’t find any longer than the ones I mentioned above though, so not sure what I can do about that. But the main reason I cannot do anything is that they seem to be choking/restricting me width-wise, if you know what I mean – it’s hard to explain what it feels like, but it’s not a nice feeling. I told my girlfriend it feels like it would rip if I did anything, so of course she said that there was no way anything was going to happen.
What else is there I can do about this? I’m trying to do the right thing, but I don’t want to waste any more money or time!
