No, it’s not silly to ask how to use a condom regardless of your age. Even I’ve fumbled a bit trying to do the sexy and thoughtful thing by putting one on my partner, mostly because my mind was on other things. And for you guys who complain about wearing condoms, here are some great tips on how to make it easier, more comfortable, and most importantly, most effective.
Here are a couple of other tips about using condoms …
1. Make sure you have a proper fitting condom. Learn how to properly measure yourself and know what condom manufacturers mean by small, regular, large and extra-large. I know this can be a real honesty test for some men, but I can’t stress enough the importance what a proper fit has to do with condom effectiveness. I really like Condom Depot’s sizing guide.

2. Check the expiration date. Condoms last a lot longer than even Twinkies — up to five years for plain ones, though only two years or so for those with a spermicide, which gradually breaks down the latex. However, condoms kept in wallets get toasty from body heat, which can considerably shorten a condom’s life expectancy (and maybe yours). If a condom is sticky or brittle, toss it.
3. Check for damage. Nearly 75% of people never bother looking for tears or holes — even if they use their teeth to open the packet (don’t!) or snag the condom on their jewelry or fingernails, according to a Kinsey Institute report.
4. Give yourself a lube job. Add a couple of drops of water- or silicone-based lube to your penis or inside of the condom before rolling it on. It will make a world of difference! DO NOT USE OIL-BASED LUBES WITH CONDOMS. Oils will deteriorate latex and can cause breakage. And don’t worry, lube will not make a condom fall off. The rolled end of the condom will keep it on your penis securely. The only way a condom will fall off is if you wear one that’s too large.
Don’t feel self-conscious or afraid of insulting your female partner before adding a drop or two of lube to the tip of your condom before penetrating her, even if you or she thinks she’s adequately wet. Lube will make sure the condom doesn’t tear from friction during penetration. Female egos aside, lube makes all the moves and sensations much more fun and pleasurable.
Yes, you want to wear a condom during anal sex. Use a water- or silicone-based gel lube, and don’t be stingy with it.
5. Put it on before penetration. About 43% of students in a sex-behavior study donned the condom after penetration had already occurred. Presumably they didn’t know that some sperm can be released before the final fireworks, posing pregnancy and STD risks.
6. Not sure what kind of condom to buy? Most online condom and sex toy retailers sell variety sampler packs. Personally, my favorite is the Crown Skinless Skin Condom. They feel like there’s nothing there!
