Why do men think it feels better during sex to not wear a condom?

why would it even feel that different espicially if you used one of those thin condoms? if anything you would think it would feel more different for the woman than the guy
Condoms simply desensitize the penis to a certain extent. They can also chaff and rub the wrong way, which can be painful.

You can get around this though by doing kegel exercises to strengthen and tighten the muscles around your vagina and have your BF put lube on the inside of the condom. He probably wouldn't even notice the difference.

From my own personal point of view the reason I don't like condoms (I use them anyways of course, don't need kids) is because the rubber band at the base basically strangles me and even leaves bruises sometimes. You might think "well get bigger condoms" well the really big ones are too big and the large ones are not any different (other than lengthwise) than regular condoms.

Safe sex practices

Some Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), such as HIV, can take up to 6 months before they can be detected in the blood. Genital herpes and the human papillomavirus (HPV) can be spread when symptoms are not present. Even if you and your partner have been tested, use condoms for all sex until you and your partner haven't had sex with another person for 6 months. Then get tested again.

  • Watch for symptoms of STDs, such as unusual discharge, sores, redness, or growths in your and your partner's genital area, or pain while urinating.
  • Don't have more than one sex partner at a time. The safest sex is with one partner who has sex only with you. Every time you add a new sex partner, you are being exposed to all of the diseases that all of their partners may have. Your risk for an STD increases if you have several sex partners at the same time.
  • Use a condom every time you have sex. Latex and polyurethane condoms do not let STD viruses pass through, so they offer good protection from STDs. Condoms made from sheep intestines do not protect against STDs.
  • Use a water-based lubricant such as K-Y Jelly or Astroglide to help prevent tearing of the skin if there is a lack of lubrication during sexual intercourse. Small tears in the vagina during vaginal sex or in the rectum during anal sex allow STDs to get into your blood.
  • Avoid douching if you are a woman, because it can change the normal balance of organisms in the vagina and increases the risk of getting an STD.
  • Be responsible. Avoid sexual contact if you have symptoms of an infection or if you are being treated for an STD or HIV. If you or your partner has herpes, avoid sexual contact when a blister is present and use condoms at all other times.

Discuss safe sex with your partner

http://www.hvtn.org/images/straightcouples/couple_couch_sm.jpg

Discuss Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) before you have sex with someone. Even though a sex partner doesn't have symptoms of an STD, he or she may still be infected.

Questions to ask someone before having sex include:

  • How many people have you had sex with?
  • Have you had sex without a condom?
  • Have you ever had unprotected oral sex?
  • Have you had more than one sex partner at a time?
  • Do you inject illegal drugs or have you had sex with someone who injects drugs?
  • Have you ever had unprotected sex with a prostitute?
  • Have you ever had an STD, including hepatitis B or hepatitis C? Was it treated and cured?

Types of Latex Condoms Are There

Condoms come in all shapes, sizes, and materials. Here are some characteristics to consider when buying condoms.

* Size. The standard size will fit most men. Extra-large condoms are available, as well as "snug" sizes that are a little smaller and fit tighter than the standard size.
* Shape. Some condoms come with a nipple in the end to hold the fluid when the man ejaculates. Others have a rounded end.
* Thickness. Extra-strength condoms are available. These are stronger and are especially useful for rectal sex and for men who have problems with condom breakage. Extra thin condoms also are available, but these are not recommended because they may break more easily.
* Lubrication. Many condoms come pre-lubricated. This lubrication can be a substance that kills sperm (spermicide) and many disease-causing germs. Lubrication may give some extra protection in preventing pregnancy, especially if the condom breaks. Lubricated condoms taste bad and are not recommended for oral sex.
* Flavored. These condoms are meant for the male to wear when receiving oral sex. They are not lubricated and have a mild flavor (usually mint).
* Color. Condoms come in many colors. The color of the condom doesn't make it any more or less effective.

Women Need To Be Loved Through Thick And Thin

http://lekhaharidas.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/picture-014.jpg

Men, love your wife no matter how bad you screw up or your wife screws up. We all make mistakes! That is the way God made us! Love is the cement that holds your relationship together. I have noticed that Becky really needs to be loved when she is going through tough times. She may have had a bad day at school or work and just needs that big hug with an “I love you” attached. Don’t get mad at your wife when she is all down and out about her day. I used to get upset because her attitude would bring mine down. I have learned that men need to go down to that emotional level with their wives and help bring them back up. Don’t leave your wife in that lonely, cold spot of feeling down and out. It will speak volumes to her when she realizes you care about how she feels and the two of you will grow stronger in each other.

I wanna hold your hand

Hand-holding signifies closeness and a sense of appreciation for your partner and relationship. This emotion can be triggered by, say, a walk in a beautiful location or witnessing a special event like fireworks or a celebration such as a wedding.

Let the mood move you. Take your partner's hand in yours, entwine your fingers and give their hand a little affectionate squeeze, just to remind them that you're there and there's no place else you'd rather be.

Perfectly acceptable any time and any place, including in front of future parents-in-law or at church, taking your partner's hand in yours has a timeless charm that, far from repelling the general public, actually evokes feelings of admiration and longing.

Some folk don't like having their hand held in public. Guys, particularly, can feel emasculated by such a "girly" act, preferring to drape a big, strong arm around their lady's shoulder. Same, but different.

Headache During Sex?

The image “http://www.bbc.co.uk/relationships/images/300/upset.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

A headache during sex is embarrassing to say the least, but if this is something that has happened to you before then maybe you should read on.

Sex headaches are pounding, sometimes severe pain that occurs during sex or more specifically, during the orgasm. Sometimes they will start just at the beginning of relations. They might even be mild headaches. If so this is known as benign coital headache or orgasmic cephalgia. These headaches occur more often in men than women. Aside from being disruptive (!) they are not dangerous headaches and are easily treated. The current theory is that they are caused by muscle contraction and/or vascular dilation of the head and neck during sex.

What is a little more concerning is if this is a headache you have never had before or "is the most severe headache of your life". This could be an emergency headache, and you should be seen by your provider. This rare, second type of sex headache could be the herald of a more serious condition such as a bleed in the brain. A brain hemorrhage can be due to either an aneurysm or an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). An aneurysm is an out-pouching in an artery due to a weakened area of the artery wall..like a bulge in a tire.

An AVM is a tangle of arteries and veins that share connections and also have thin walls making them susceptible to a bleed. What happens during sex is that the weakened areas of these walls begin to give way, they leak blood and the massive headache results. This type of headache is called a thunderclap headache and requires a CT or MRI of the brain soon. Since blood pressure rises and falls during sex, this is what eventually causes the rupture of the blood vessels.

Most people do not even know if they have these conditions. If you have a family history of aneurysm, you should be screened with an imaging study as this condition can be hereditary.

4. Compliment Her

Satisfy her by increasing her physical confidence. In a day and age where sex sells, we are bombarded by amazing looking women on TV, in magazines, and on the internet. With such amazing competition, women can feel slightly inadequate. Let her know the things you love about her. Be sincere, she knows she is not perfect, but she wants to know that you are attracted to her.

5. Flowers, Chocolates, and Teddy Bear

Satisfy her emotionally with romantic gestures. The traditional flowers, chocolates and teddy bears will make her feel special, and soften her up. If you want to do something less predictable, get creative or put your own spin on some of these romantic gestures. A good rule of thumb is- the more you give, the more you get...

6. Massage

Satisfy her tense and tight muscles. Start with her feet and work your way up, or with her scalp and ease your way down. Your touch will not simply relax her. Touch is stimulating and energizing. Many massages have turned in to foreplay and stimulated some steamy lovin. Which just goes to show that one good deed, deserves another.

10. Take Your Time

Satisfy her slowly and sensually. Although men are ready anytime, anyplace, most women are not ready at the drop of a dime. We've all heard men are like microwaves, women are like slow cookers. Slow things down and increase your foreplay. Play sensual games or experiment with sensual oils. Make your loving last longer.

Why You Are Not In The Mood For Sex

http://media.collegepublisher.com/media/paper148/stills/j1b41n96.jpg

Your life is moving on pretty fine. A good marriage with children to crown it, a good career and good health. But something is amiss somewhere, your sex drive. You can fondly recall your once vibrant sex drive. However, of late, your libido is no longer there. It has simply disappeared without trace, not even the latest sexy moves can locate it. You are not alone as a good number of women suffer from an under active sexual disorder which makes them not to be in the mood for sex. It is ironical but using hormone based contraceptives can actually lower your libido. The very same pills that are supposed to give you a license and leeway of romping as you please. However they make you feel not in the mood for sex. These are birth control contraceptives like pills, rings, patches and injections. They actually lower testosterone levels and for some women this depresses and lowers their libido.

It might be possible you are stressed. There is nothing that depresses libido better than stress. Combining your career, your family and your private life is an uphill task. You are literally juggling through a maze and in due time you will be lost. Trying to beat deadlines while at the same time being there for your family is a delicate balancing act. It only ends up giving you stress. You become overwhelmed by your multitasking skills. This multitasking works to your advantage but takes a heavy toil on your sex life. In your efforts to reduce the workload on your items list, sex is often the first to be scrapped. Most women spend a hectic day in their jobs, cook, feed and put the kids to bed after work. Do the dishes and make lunch for the following day. Sex is the last thing on their mind. They are not in the mood for sex. They are long asleep the moment they hit the pillow.

Lack of enough sleep disrupts and interferes with sex hormones namely progesterone and estrogen. However more important to be noted is that lack of enough sleep makes you quite irritable for sex. You are simply not in the mood for sex. You feel you need enough time to catch up on your sleep. Grogginess leads to irritability. It becomes worse if its your partner's rattling snore that is robbing snooze time out of you. You will be more inclined to smother him with a pillow than with a kiss. Your mates bad sleeping habits might make you to sleep elsewhere. It is quite difficult to maintain intimacy in such conditions. It justifies why you are not in the mood for sex.

What should a husband do to make his wife happy ?

Remember how it was when you first met your wife? During the newness of a relationship, both parties are usually on their best behavior, trying hard to impress the other. Why should that end once you're married or after you've been married for quite some time? Kindness and thoughtfulness should never fall by the wayside. A marriage needs to be worked on throughout the years. Never stop expressing your love and devotion for each other. Keep the flame lit and your wife will be happy!

SHOW APPRECIATION

Above all, every woman needs to be shown appreciation and acknowledgment for her talents, abilities and endeavors. Never take her for granted. Always remember good manners, even with your wife. Telling her "thank you" for a wonderful meal or acknowledging her accomplishments, will go a long way in making her happy and feeling appreciated. In turn, this will give her incentive and motivation to always be at her best for you.

LISTENING

Always be willing to listen, with genuine interest. Her thoughts, ideas and opinions are important to her. They should be important to you as well. After all, she's the one you chose to spend your life with. Why wouldn't her ideas be of importance to you? When she's able to voice her concerns or share ideas, it makes her feel important in your eyes.

Top Mistakes Most Guys Make

The image “http://www.elitemate.com/images/advertisements/newad49.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

It is always a good idea to learn the best sexual positions so that you can be a pro in the bedroom. We are going to talk about some of the best positions for you to use. And what mistakes you need to stay away from so that you don't seem boring.

First you need to forget about imitating a porn movie because what you are watching is professional actors and trying to imitate them is going to set you up for big failure. Most porn movies use multiple frames so that it seems like they are making love forever when in actuality they are not. Also some of the positions that you see on the screen are great camera angles.

Second it is important that you do not need to keep your weight off a woman when making love because applying pressure when making love will allow for more stimulation and you will be able to reach a climax faster. Also a woman likes to feel a man on top of her so she fells his closeness and warmth.

Thirdly it is too much to ask a woman who is on top to do all the work. It can be a great position for stimulation because the man can rotate the womans hips and control the movement over the pubic bone. This grinding motion can be a great way to reach a climax and enhances the stimulation.

Remember that it is important to know what works well with you and your partner. It is important to communicate with each other so that you always know what is working and what is not.

What Women Really Want - From a Man

http://www.buzzle.com/img/articleImages/481327-40.jpg

Men and women are so different when it comes to relationships. "I'll never understand women!" How many times have we heard that from men! Many men are fed up with women that nag and complain or are moody. How would the man feel if they knew that they are the cause and the angry woman is the affect! "But I've done nothing wrong!" Shout the men, "she's just crazy, I do love her can't she see that!"

I want to talk to the women just for a moment.

How many times do you ask your man to do something and it doesn't happen? Do feel that you just can't trust him to do what you ask?

How many times do you wish he would do or say something that makes you feel good without being prompted from you? You know you're not the most beautiful woman in the world but you just want to know you're beautiful in his eyes.

How many times does your man let you down and you have to take control? Do you wish he would just be a man! Sometimes you just want to feel like a woman and be looked after... just sometimes!

How many times do you drop hints with a vain hope that your man will pick up on these signals. Can he not see what you are saying, it is so obvious.

How does all this make you feel? Yes I know, frustrating isn't it?

Now I want to talk to the men.

Does your partner behave in a way you just don't get?

Do you know there is something wrong but you don't understand what it is?

Do you get so frustrated because she just does not make sense, you then argue and that just makes it worse.

I am going to tell you now that women do not think about relationships the way that you do! When you understand what is really happening within her, you will make your life easier and create a brilliant relationship, isn't that what you want? After all, you do love her. Why doesn't she get that?

She is after good emotions that you can help her create. When she is complaining, nagging, or going silent on you, she is giving you a message. You have done something that means to her that she cannot trust you. These little feelings build up in her and before you know it, she has found 20 small displays from you that equal you cannot be trusted and now she is angry.

You do one more thing wrong and your in trouble! To you these are trivial and mean nothing, to her it is now proof! Without trust, she cannot feel secure and it is security that she is after and fighting for. These displays that irritate you have good underlying intentions; she just wants the relationship to work.

Security, security, security! Women crave this from a man and this is your key to success. What she wants is to know that you will always be there no matter what! You have to prove it not just with words but also by actions, continuous actions. She wants to know you will be there for her even if she screams at you, becomes unreasonable, and does not make sense! Well to you anyway! She wants you to be a man because that will help her feel like a woman. When she was growing up, she had a vision of the perfect man, one that would sweep her off her feet and look after her until the day she dies. This is a secure feeling and she craves for it!

When you help her feel like a woman she will stop at nothing to make you feel like a man, this is fantastic for your relationship and is what you are both after.
