Q: Condom And General Contraceptive Question
asked by: deg on December 3rd, 2005

My husband doesn't like using condoms. He says it cuts his circulation off, and he never comes when wearing one (although he is able to stay hard). After sex with a condom he isn't interested again for weeks-- he says it takes that long for his penis to recover. I went off birth control because it screwed up my hormones. I was sick feeling all the time and had no libido. I am really glad I went off it, but now that my husband won't use condoms, I don't know what to do. The other problem is that my vaginal area is very sensitive to things like spermicide and I have terrible burning. I have to use all natural lubes-- ky doesn't even work for me. So, here we are... No sex life and no hope that we'll every have one! Any ideas?

I am really sensitive too, and condoms really bother me. I was on birth control, and it really messed up my hormones and stuff, like I was crazy!! Well, the doctor suggested ortho tri cyclen lo, and I have been on it for, well this makes my fourth month, and I haven't had any weird side effects, and my period is really on cycle now. This is the only form I use, because I am really sensitive, even though I am a little weary with just using this and not a back up method. I am interested to see what other people have to say to this, just what else works well?

Did you try different kinds of birth control? I absolutely hated yasmin but i'm on ortho tricyclen lo now and I feel like myself again. You should try it if you haven't already. I hope you find a solution!

Oh, and maybe your husband should try using a bigger size condom. He may be using one that is too small and that's why it's uncomfortable for him.

There are now so many different type of contraceptives than just the pill. For example, the ring, depo, patch, iud.
Research these other types of contraceptives and talk to your doctor.
Even with the pill, there are some with less hormones.
My doctor stuck me on a pill with the least hormones possible because i'm a small girl.
So I reccommend looking into other methods. Usually changing the type of birth control can help.
I've been told by my boyfriend that condoms do the same thing to him. He says he only feels something if he penetrates really deep.
Condoms can also cause burning or pain for the female too (there is also the female condom if you want to try that)
as far as the burning, you could have a vaginal infection.
Anyways, your doctor can help you find something that works.
