Cosigning as another sex educator. Wearing the right size condom is important not only for functionality, but also pleasure — you're more likely to use condoms if they actually feel okay. The size issue is really not BS. I've had partners with penises big enough that getting a condom on was a real struggle, and I'm…

Condoms, like latex gloves, come in different widths. Shop around! Lifestyles fit regular, Trojans fit medium-slim, Beyond Seven fit slim, Magnum fit wide. The ones you get free at nightclubs & clinics are a crapshoot.

I cannot believe sexually active adults on this thread don't get that a male penis is nothing like a leg and the comparison isn't apt.

Thank you.

That is so stupid. The point is to protect against pregnancy and disease. NOT to get no sensation or pleasure from a too tight condom.

I am also a sex educator and needed to comment to agree with you!

So what she's saying is that just because something can be physically put on, that it fits well?

This is hilarious and an excellent way of making the point but, even though I know you're kidding, I want to point out that there's no "too big for condoms" but there absolutely is "may be too big for a regular condom to operate at peak effectiveness."

Just because you can fit in size 30 jeans when you are a size 32 (men's sizes btw) doesn't mean it will be comfortable. Same thing with condoms. Pretty much any will fit anyone but not all will be comfortable. Some will constrict blood flow too much, some will slip off too easily. Finding the right condom size is…

While the idea that condoms won't fit on your penis is certainly false, there are definitely brands that I've found to be uncomfortably snug. So, you know, I buy different ones. Pretty simple life hack, really.

I think Ross Douthat, of all people, actually had the best response to this:

If you're going to give anyone a pass for reason B, you should take into account that for the vast majority of animal species, it is actually the males who do the preening and displaying for the benefit of females. So maybe even human men still have some remnant of that "primordial need."

Can someone please create a false equivalence between this problem and something happening in the United States?

Wait, what? You mean he didn't want his kids to see their mother who comes banging on the door at 5 AM and then decides her only recourse is to shimmy down the chimney naked? That seems...reasonable??

It sounds like she caught the flue.
