Don't be silly - wrap your willy

A new study shows that college men may need help with condom use. "In a survey of 158 heterosexual males who used a condom in the previous 3 months, 30% said they had initially put the condom on upside down and had to flip it over. Forty percent said they did not leave space at the tip of the condom after they put it on, a technique that reduces the risk of breakage, according to the report in the August issue of the journal Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

What's more, 43% of the men reported that they put condoms on after they started sex and 15% noted that they took condoms off before they were finished having sex, the report indicates.

Overall, nearly one third of the participants reported condom breakage and 13% noted that their condom slipped off during sex...

...In other findings, the researchers found that 60% of the men did not discuss condom use with their partner before sex, and 42% reported that they wanted to use a condom during sex but did not have any available."


So...have you ever had a condom break?

Even though this study is somewhat small, I still find the results to be quite frightening. And having survived four years of college...I think the results are also quite accurate after talking with my (mostly male) friends. Not many high school and college-age kids would play Russian roulette -- but that's exactly what they're doing without properly using condoms. I think one of the most sobering days of my life was when I learned someone from our very small, tight-knit dorm was HIV+ after graduation. So pass the word along...and if you don't know how to use one properly...ask someone (or look it up online)! (Read the full article at Yahoo News.)



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



I must admit that I had unsafe sex with someone several years ago. When I got sick, the hi-five was the first test I got done and I was so relieved when it was negative. I'd never do it again. I've never had one break cause we learnt how to put them on at school and I know all about the roll on technique and pinching the end.

In all honesty when you pop the condom outta the wrapper it looks the same on both sides unless you held it up to your face to get a close look. And most guys aren't going to do that. It's just as easy to push it against the tip of your dick and see if it falls down if not it has to be flipped over.

Condoms break all the time for me. I know I'm putting them on right, I've read all the stupid websites and documentation, and I've also tried all different kinds. I'm not sure what causes it, but it's scary. You usually can't feel it break so you may just be pounding away, finish, and pull out to find it broke (horrible feeling)

The problem with people starting to have sex and then using a condom before they get close (isn't this what most people do anyway?), the reason people do is because they trust the other person. You shouldn't because the other person probably doesn't know if they are HIV+ But if you are willing to get naked with another person, and put a persons private parts in your mouth then you naturally are going to "trust" them when they tell you that they DON'T have anything. While common sense tells you otherwise, your body and brain are being fooled. That's probably why it's so easy. Generally most of us wouldn't want to think about the other person having HIV+ because "it couldn't be possible, after all I'd never pick somebody to sleep with like that." it's how our brain patterns think. Maybe not right but true.

One of the reasons condoms break even if they're properly put on is due to stretching. If you don't have enough lubrication within the condom, it will stick to the penis, stretch, and snap. Putting a small amount of water based lubricant in the tip of the condom before putting it on will fix this usually, but don't slather the stuff on or it will slide off in seconds...

Yeah, I worked for BLAG and the Woman's Center in college. I was condom chick ;)

Maybe this invention should be used then:
A Condom that can be put on in 3 seconds

Of course, i'm sure someone would screw that up... (no pun intended)

I've never had a condom break, but now I'm feeling kinda inadequate. I stretch the damn things, if you know what I mean, so why don't they break for me?

It's about improper use wKen. Not about the size of the package. You leave too much air in the wrong place and even the most pencil dick dude will snap the things. And what kind of moron doesn't know how to use a condom for crissakes? If you're new to the things go buy a box and practice before the show. Musicians practice their instruments before a concert and sex for beginners should be the same way. And that link about the 3 second condom states that it takes 30 to 40 seconds to put one on. GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK! If it takes you that long to put a piece of rubber on your schlong you have no business breeding buddy. Crawl back in the gene pool because you apparantly have a little while left to cook...

Hey McSweeny,

When was the last time you used a condom, and I mean with another person – LMAO

i'm sorry but the condoms still break. I've tried using a bit of lube on the inside. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if I just have bad luck. Lol it only happens during "extra fast motion".
