safe sex

Unread post by Amandapanda29 »

So it seems like everytime my boyfriend and I try to have sex, the condom never really stays on his penis, and it's really frustrating because it glides off and when we try to have sex it's like he has to hold on to it. It makes me not want to have sex anymore because of the risk of getting pregnant because I always feel like the condom will come off once he is inside. How do I make sure the condolences is secure on his penis?

Can I ask if you have tried several different styles and sizes of condoms to see if that makes any difference? For instance, if sounds like he may need a snugger (smaller) condom than he has been using.

I mean we've used multiple brands, but I could understand he may need a smaller size.

So, sounds like that is the next step for you. What he or you will just want to do is look for styles that say they have a "snugger" fit or base.
