How to maintain erections with condoms?

This is something that’s killing me, and as good as this app is for different things, it doesn’t really go into my particular issue.

I don’t know what it is, but as soon as I know a condom is required, I get nervous, and my erection goes away as soon as I try to enter them.

I’ve tried things like masturbating with a condom on, to get used to the feeling, and this gives me absolutely zero issues… I can maintain the erection fairly well.

It’s just with sex.

Does anyone experience the same? Has anyone overcome it?

Too right, condoms just kill it, in fact I might be ok till it’s applied then you may as well go hime

I’m struggling with this at the moment. I’d not used them with my wife for about 20 years and now when I’m with a new woman it’s such a jolt that it kills the mood. I’m currently trying to reframe it as just being the signal that sex (and all the fun that brings) is about to happen and it be an excitement trigger instead. I think it’s quite daunting when you put it on and suddenly all the focus is on you, but again, trying to reframe that as it is something she wants and block out any negativity. I think because it usually coincides with a lull in stimulation as well, I want to try maintaining kissing and touch as much as possible helps to distract from it too. My partners have been putting the condom on, I think I may try doing it myself, to see if that is easier to transition.

Have you tried a cock ring? That helped me out a ton.

Experiment with size. I always went with average as that what though I was. Turns out what I lack in length I make up for girth. Slightly bigger ones helped a lot. Worth a try?
Also, have them extremely handy when needed, oven unwrapped ready to roll (on :wink:

I had a similar issue for a long time and on a whim decided to measure my erection. Turns out I needed the Magnum size and didn’t realize it. There is still a lull in stimulation when putting it on, but the larger size really did help me. Try asking her to kiss you while you put it on. I find it helps if she is not watching me and focusing on the experience of foreplay until after it’s on.
