Condoms reduce pleasure
In fact, condoms can actually help you increase your pleasure from sex. “People who use condoms evaluate their sexual experiences in the same way as those who choose to go without them,” Dr. Ragan McDonald-Moseley, lead physician at Planned Parenthood, assures us.
But do you know what can truly bring you pleasure? No fear of unplanned pregnancy or STDs! You can relax and enjoy the moment instead of constantly worrying about making a mistake. Not to mention that the days of “grandfather’s hussar condoms” are gone, these days there are dozens of types of condoms: ultra-thin, ribbed, flavored... Honestly, whatever your heart desires!
Your penis is too big for condoms
Have you ever seen a video of guys putting condoms on their heads? No, we're not encouraging you to test their strength that way, just keep in mind that even the smallest head is bigger than the biggest dick. National Health Services claims that condoms can stretch up to 46 centimeters.
It doesn't matter what size condoms are
Just because a condom may not be too big for your impressive package doesn't mean you don't have to worry about size at all. By the way, the size depends not so much on the length of the penis, but on its width.
S - basic: 3−4 cm wide;
M - medium: 5 cm wide;
L - large: more than 5 cm wide;
XXXL, Extra Large: more than 6.2 cm wide at the glans area and more than 5 cm wide at the base of the penis.
Condoms are not very reliable in preventing pregnancy
If they weren't reliable, they wouldn't be used, right? In fact, condoms have only a 2% failure rate and are still considered an effective method of contraception. But if you are worried, you can add spermicidal lubricant to it.
Condoms are not needed for oral sex
Herpes, human papillomavirus and much more will not penetrate the protection of a condom. Many doctors recommend using condoms even during oral sex.
Condoms are 100% effective
Sorry, but almost any tool cannot give you a 100% guarantee of protection - it simply does not exist. Condoms are 98% effective. Quite a lot, you will agree.
