Dear Michael -

My friends have had sex but they say it does not feel as good using condoms.  Is it true that you do not get the maximum pleasure when you use condoms?

Thanks,
J.

Dear J. -

Your friends are telling you the truth. You don't have the same level of pleasure when you use condoms.  However, being inside a woman with a condom is still highly pleasurable. Some guys actually like to wear condoms because with slightly less sensitivity they can last much longer.

However, not using a condom for a bit more pleasure does not make us for the added risk of an unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted disease. 

Also, most forms of birth control for women can reap havoc on their bodies with chemicals and foreign substances staying in their bodies.  The gentleman lover will always be willing to wear a condom if needed.

But... here is a little tip. Put a pea sized drop of water-based lubricant on your head before you put on the condom and the intensity will greatly increase.

Thanks for all the material that you have here, written in a very tasteful, honest way. I have been a subscriber for 2 years to the tip of the week and the romantic tips. I've also purchased many of your online resources.

I have found, when using a condom, that I don't feel a lot of difference when my wife and I have a lot of foreplay and work up to it. But I do find that there is a bit of difference for quickies and the condom does affect the feeling for me then.

Thanks again,
