Do you think using a condom reduces the pleasure during sex?

[Lacius]

The fact that men often don't notice when the condom falls off, breaks, etc. during sex shows that, a lot of the time, condoms don't diminish pleasure enough for one to tell the difference.

That being said, I have a love/hate relationship with condoms, and they definitely diminish my experience substantially. I still use them anyway.

.....I fail to see your point, Sir.

The thing is it's not gonna really help him with his question - does a condom alter the experience significantly.

The reason a condom feels different is because it separates warm flesh from the penis. It doesn't allow for adequate heat transfer. Using a Fleshlight will not simulate the body's temperature, and thus the condom won't make nearly as big of an impact.

I mean it may help him with his question if he tries a heated sex toy (heating oil doesn't really count) with and without a condom.

Well,

Not having had sex before I have no experience to draw my own conclusions from.

So, I figured simulating it with a toy would give an idea. It's better than purposely trying to have sex with someone just to find out what sex is like. Sure, people do it and if both parties are fine with it, hey, whatever, but from someone who made a few mistakes, I'd try to advise the next person to not leave a trail of destruction they'll pay for later on.

Although, I am all for finding answers to questions and that's the most reasonable solution I could think of, with minimal risks. Would you really want to be the person OP comes crying to when he's on Maury with herpes? No offense, but it seems like you'd be the guy who says, "I didn't say go out and have sex like that, and update to Luma while you're at it."

Anyways, if you and other person didn't do AIDS and diseases tests before and got negative results, a condom is absolutely mandatory.

Nah, i don't have aids, and i will have enough faith in my partner to not use a condom xD

 

[noctis90210]

what a question!!!

anyway, the op looks just want to find the answer.

im sexualy active for about 11years with my gal and both of us dont want to use condom, at the same time im a nurse so i can use a little bit logic here...

logically men are being pleasured by having friction on the skin of their hotdog into the walls of the women's cave.
so if men uses condom, therefore, less pleasure, cuz the skin of the hotdog are stationary in contact with the inner part of the condom, no friction...
and the outer side of the condom is the one in-contact/in-friction within the walls of the cave and not actually the hotdog.

so there it is...

but for women, logically i think there's no impact whether men uses a condom or not.
cuz as long as there's something being in-friction within the wall of their caves, im sure its pleasurable to them.
that's why some women uses sex-toys or elongated fruits...

but im confused, why my girl, doesnt want to use condom, she told me its less pleasurable, but i dont think so...
she complaints that the condom becomes dry in prolonged use (in one round) and painful to their cave... i think its acceptable reason...
but about telling me that its less pleasurable when i wear condom, i dont think so...
maybe she just want me to experience the pleasure same as shes receiving...

but for people with multiple partner... i suggest wear condom because AIDS today are every where... so be careful guys...

 

[TotalInsanity4]

what a thread...

Never used a condom in my life (I know that sounds awful but I don't feel like preventing life if it's meant to be, and if I have sex with somebody I should be ready to deal with the consequences). But I can imagine that they do take some pleasure off of the user, because it isn't directly touching the skin/tissue which stimulates sperm production.

STDs are a thing you don't want

I have to agree with @Crystal the Glaceon, it depends entirely on what variety you get

 

[leonmagnus99]

i cannot tell because i am still a virgin ;-;

and like someone stated, gbatemp sure is becoming somewhat more sexual haha.
but it is just questions, so it is okay.

Also, if you're doing anal, lube and condoms are M A N D I T O R Y unless you want anal tears and AIDS

Which is why I don't have sex with people unless I'm married to them :^)

 

[mikefor20]

Of course you feel sex less with a condom. Common sense tells you that. Can you feel the rain with a rain coat? -snip-

 

[Urbanshadow]

I don't know if it reduces much, as I go buckets each way. What I do know though, is the compression of the condom makes me last more time than without it. So, normally I put it in halfway through, when she has gone off already and it's getting ready for her round 2. I know for sure I can't stand two rounds so it's endurance time for me.

 

[Deleted-355425]

Yes they reduce pleasure but they are the lesser of 2 evils and im not talking about STD's.

 

[Quantumcat]

Yes it does, half the time it makes it go down and then sex is impossible. Best to have one faithful, steady partner and both get disease tested. Then the female gets an implantable contraceptive that lasts three years. Which has the bonus effect of a holiday from periods. Win for everybody

Um...are you talking about wang? That might just be a personal problem.

Possibly, but it shows it has a definite effect!

I stand by "personal problem." I've never encountered that -snip-

Vacation from periods, with an increased irritability,mood swings,vaginal dryness and an increased risk of several cancers and diseases! Sounds worse than a period. All joking aside, monogamy and an intelligent approach to birth control is WAY better than a condom.

If you're talking about the thing that gets inserted into the uterus, absolutely do NOT do that. There have been many reports of those migrating out of position and puncturing internal organs. Once-a-day prescribed contraceptive pills are a much better and safer choice, both for periods and pregnancy avoidance

He prolly means the implant and not a coil tbh.
