Lose Erection Whenever Wearing Condom

LegacyUser

Hey guys. I'm a male in my late teens. I recently became sexually active, and everything goes well until I have to put on the condom. When it's on, it's just a matter of time before I lose my erection.

I have never ever had a problem with losing an erection without wearing condoms but I can hardly have a lot of sex without condoms can I?

Anyone have/had this problem? Solutions or ways around it?

i think a lot of people have this problem at some point, don't get too worried about it.

foreplay is a very important part of any sexual encounter. if you get hard and put a condom on straight away you are more likely to lose your erection. oral and manual stimulation until you are properly aroused, not just erect, will help maintain your erection once the condom is on, which will automatically reduce the amount of sensation your penis experiences.

whatever you do, don't just not bother with condoms because you don't like them.

See the last time it happened was today, and there was plenty of foreplay.

you said you only recently became sexually active, so maybe you feel under pressure when putting a condom on and loose the erection because its something new to you. as previous poster said, foreplay is important. it takes a bit of time to put a condom on, and in the meantime your girlfriend can help get you turned on again. this is quite common and the best if the girl gives you oral and other forms of stimulation to get you fully erect again.

by sexually active do you mean you are having sex with one girl? talk to her about it, and as magnetic impulse suggested you can get her to continue to stimulate you during and after putting on the condom. i remember starting off it would be fumble-fumble-fumble-pause to put on condom, awkard moment-back to the fumbling. keep the fumbling going in a way you find pleasurable. and stop worrying.

Personally i hate wearing condoms too, BUT the way things are they are a MUST. There are lubes and creams you can get to make your willy more sensitive,, condoms come with the same lube too so go to any sex shop, or buy online and im sure you will find the right one.
ALso, dont panic either, the pressure to keep an erection could be whats causing you to lose it too, take your time and u will be fine.

Practice! Try masturbating with a condom on, and just keep at it until you get there. You just need to train yourself. Drop of lube inside the condom is a great trick, increases sensitivity for you.

I used to get her to put the condom on, as part of foreplay, as I was worried about the same thing. That worked for me!

You could try different brands of condoms, i had the same issue for a bit with my first girlfriend and we were using Mates ones but i found them really uncomfortable and wound up just thinking about that rather than enjoying it, switch to Durex and never had a problem since, you could always try britishcondoms.co.uk they do great sampler packs wit loads of different brands, flavours and with lubes so a bit of experimenting could be good (and fun )

+1. It might be that you're not used to wearing condoms at all, or it could be stage fright before penetrative sex. The simplest solution to either is to practice - have a few "poshies" by yourself, and when you become accustomed to the feel of wearing and using a condom, try it with your girlfriend. Maybe ask her to help maintain your arousal while you put it on, or ask her to put it on for you.

I'm surprised soemone hasn't already highlighted this;

it's quite common that certain condoms cause impotence because the lubricant acts as a local anaesthetic (hopefully somebody else can provide more detailed links t support this but I'm 100 % sure in what I'm saying).

As has been suggested, try different brands. Don't feel disheartened, in this particular case is sounds like the cause of the problem is completely removed from you!
