When I search online using the search words “How to put on a condom”(sorry,still a little noob regarding this), 9 out of 10 times the pages will recommend that lube be used as well or the condom might have a chance of breaking. What about for other people? Most of the time,for other people the word that gets around is being frequently only told to use condoms and not lube. At least that was what I heard shrugs. So does that mean that all these people will end up in a riskful situation of the condom breaking? I haven’t heard of any news of people who only use condoms without lube ending up with a torn condom so I’m not sure. I’m going to do it soon in one of the following months so just trying to confirm if lube usage is better or if the condom will be fine without lube. Thanks for your time.
The lube isn’t for you as the wearer, it should just roll along your length. The lube is for thr outside when you are inserting it into your partner. You need to be careful in regards to the type of lube you use, as some can degrade the condom. Some condoms are pre-lubed or are coated to create a tingling sensation.
It’s been a long while since H and I used condoms but I do recall the advice being use water based lube only. Some oil based lubes can damage the condom leading to splitting.
As @DLJL said, the lube goes on after the condom, on the outside. The lube is to make penetration more comfortable and pleasurable for your partner. Whether you chose to use lube or not will depend on what both you and your partner prefer. If your partner feels that they have enough natural lubrication and knows from experience that they prefer not to use it then there isn’t really any reason why lube would be required. The idea that the condom could break if you don’t use lube might be because there would be more friction but I think it would still be a low chance of that happening. If neither of you have had sex before, I would suggest using lube for additional lubrication for comfort
As already mentioned, if you do use lube, avoid oil based lubes because these are not compatible with condoms.
i think i may be doing this fully wrong but i DO put a little lube on my cock before putting the condom on..
but moreso important than ANY of this is that the condom FITS him correctly, they do have differnt girths and making sure it doesnt side around/move on his cock when its on is every important.
Some condoms contain a little spermicide to help prevent pregnancy, not sure what adding lube to the inside does to its effectiveness. It is not all condoms which do.
As others have said they come in various fits and sizes so it is important to ensure that you get the correct fit, it is also important to expel any air from the tip as you roll it on, it helps to stop them splitting and gives somewhere for the ejaculate to collect.
I’m back to using condoms as the Mrs doesn’t want to go back on the pill. I put a smear of lube over my penis before putting the condom on then some lube on the outside as it’s more comfortable for her. I’ve noticed putting some lube on my penis makes it feel better.
Back when we were using condoms, no lube was used at all.
The condoms are pre lubricated a little, its enough to put them on. If your partner isn’t wet enough, you need to spend more time on foreplay. If you’re doign anal you will need lots of lube.
Your best bet is just to communicate with your partner (communication is key!) about what they want, but lube does make sex a lot better/comfortable for the receiver during sex. If you have lube available you should pretty much always use it!
This is not the case for a lot of women - I become very aroused during foreplay but I still prefer lube as it makes things more comfortable and enjoyable.
There is plenty of women unfortunately who aren’t able to produce much wetness no matter how much foreplay is happening, this doesn’t mean that the person isn’t horny and turned on or the other person isn’t doing the right stuff to get those juices flowing.
Ideally lube is for the person who’s getting penetrated to allow a more smoother entry without friction. Some need more than others but it’s mainly down to the individual’s preference.
