I know the feeling. I never used condoms with my ex and i'd be as hard as a rock just thinking about sex. When I met my new girlfriend, we were using condoms at the start and I had the same difficulty as you. It used to destroy my confidence. The sex at the start was a little awkward for us, but I just decided one day to try to completely relax and not worry about it. Soon enough, I was able to maintain my erection with the condoms.

Sometimes it is the fear of not being able to maintain an erection that ends up killing the moment. Just relax and hopefully you will be OK soon.

All the best

not to be too graphic about it, but when you are active, try treating putting on a condom as a part of foreplay, rather than between foreplay and sex. Worked like a charm for me

Have you tried other brands of condoms? Perhaps it is too tight for you. Don't be afraid to move away from the better known ones - Durex is everywhere just because of their advertising. The downside is that you might have to look Online, but you should be able to get better deals. Try using larger ones, or different brands, or different types of the same brand, until you find the one that suits you.

Some advice for you.

I used to be the same. The problem was I would be a little thicker than avg and found that bareback could sometimes hurt if it was a quickie or in certain positions, which condoms can help alleviate.

Go buy some Condoms and when you masturbate, use them. This should get you used to the sensation of having them on and when it comes to the actual deed you will be in a much better space in your head to use them.

Thanks guys

I'll try a different brand and see, can I just ask do you put the condom on when your hard or soft?:o or does it matter?

I personally do it when it's hard, I actually think it states on the condom instruction that it should be done when fully erect. It might be worth looking into how to measure your penis when fully erect. If you research online, the condoms usually tell you the length and girth of each condom in ML. Definitely look into what yours is.
