will condoms ever be good again?

[Fitzi in maine]

Me and my boy friend have been dating for almost 9 months and we lost our virginity to eachother after the first 3 months and for a while we used condoms knowing all the dangers and risks of having unprotected sex. We didn't use a condom one time and because it felt better we haven't used condoms since. After so many girls in my area have gotten pregnant and a couple of my own pregnancy scares I've thought allot about using condoms again. We tried but it didn't feel good and neither of us enjoyed it. Do you have any suggestions to make using condoms more enjoyable?

Im the same, I cannot stand using condoms, You have to stop the sexual experience just to use one and it doesn't feel as good once you have one on. However, it only takes one time of unprotected sex, and your pregnant. I suggest looking into other contraception methods. I have been on the pill for a year, and despite having to go for regular health checks, I find it no problem at all, and actually I have found many perks, such as i cant remember the last time i had a spot, where as before my skin was never flawless. Also my bra size has increased from a 30B to a 30DD, which I love. Also, many of my friends have had implants in there arms, I dont know how these work, but go see your doctor and he will tell you the pros and cons of every type of contraception. Hope this helped x

If you want to use condoms, experiment with different ones to see which you like best. Get a sampler pack from a condom online store, turn it into a party or a fun bedroom experiment.
Practice turning condom wearing into a sex act/foreplay, if you are the one not wearing the condom, learn how to put the condom on with your mouth, or lie back and play with yourself as he puts it on to keep yourself engaged and him interested.
Add a drop of lube to the end of the penis before donning the condom, this will increase sensitivity. Put lube on outside the condom as well. Try different positions besides missionary.

If you don't want to use condoms, learn more about how your body works. I'm not into the pill or artificial hormones. Go to this site and learn more about your cycle
