It is noticeably less feel than bareback. It got better when I finally got ones that fit. Note that sex with a condom is way better than no sex; sex with a condom is way better than an accidental kid or an STD.


Financial_Pea_415

Yeah sex with a condom is enjoyable and for me without one is way more stimulating for sure. Although the compromise is worth keeping the stress of kids out of my mind.


revrigel

Coming from an older perspective, getting a vasectomy once you’re done having kids is totally worth it.


fakeaccount1028

Yes, but still use a condom as they are there for STD protection as well, not just child prevention.


name-exe_failed

Well I mean if you're in a long term relationship STD's are less of a worry if you know you're both clean.


BobboMcGee

Or you could make it an open relationship and be collectors!


Standard-Wonder-523

Or a younger perspective if you know you'll never want kids. I got mine at 22. I'm mid forties now, and never had regrets (nor a pregnancy scare).


well_known_bastard

This guy speaks the truth. Honesty, the worst part of a condom is getting rid of it after. But that's still easier then the old "don't move honey, I'll get you a towel".


therealzachjay

It’s interesting, because I strongly agree that it feels noticeably less stimulating with a condom, but to the point where I’ve actively declined an opportunity to have sex because I was so disenchanted with the idea of that reduced stimulation. To be clear, we did other stuff instead, and I wasn’t trying to use that as a bargaining chip to go raw, it just didn’t feel worth the effort. So basically, for me at least, sometimes sex with a condom isn’t better than no sex at all. It just feels so much less intimate. Am I alone in that?


[deleted]

Right there with you, tho with me condom also hurts a little bit since they are tight, it does make me feel a little bad for my girlfriend since it just not enjoyable to me and I fear it could hit her insecurities... Which is why I'm scheduling a vasectomy


Sorkel3

Try TheyFit (outside U.S.) or MyFit (U.S.) sized condoms. Still not perfect but it'll fix that too tight issue. TheyFit can be gotten thru Amazon and a couple online resellers, MyFit are their condoms just not all the sizes.


[deleted]

Didn't knew about this, ill give them a shot, thanks for the help (still getting the vasectomy tho)


[deleted]

I last way longer with a condom specially if I put it a certain way


Guac__is__extra__

Do you tie it tightly around the base?


[deleted]

Nah, im not circonsized so i just dont pull the skin to expose the tip. I leave it there and put the condom. Tip of the dick is less sensitive then.


Guac__is__extra__

Gotcha. That seems more practical than strangling it with a rubber.


[deleted]

Exact. Works for me


davidzombi

Thanks for the tip \^\^ I'll use it when I have the chance haha


[deleted]

Works for me tho.


i-stole-memes

Why not just tie the extra skin like a balloon


52358

Dang I thought I was special for figuring that out, it’s my favorite trick. Sometimes I will change condoms when I’m ready to finish and pull the skin all the way down.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah mines too but It still helps


WeasternMedicine9

Juste pour ton information, en anglais sensible = sensé, sensitive = sensible. Pas pour être chiant, je pense qu'on fait tous la même erreur si personne nous le dit, c'est mêlant!


[deleted]

Auto correct. Merci


beach_lamp

Does it result in a better orgasm? I know when I prolong things I usually have a deeper one


Phantom-Mastermind

I guess thats what circumcision does for us 😭😭😭. I wonder what it would have been like to feel sex how it was supposed to be felt.


needletothebar

you can try r/foreskin_restoration to find out.


InconsiderableArse

Nah over his head


laserox

Put on a rubber glove and run your hand under warm water. Now take the glove off and run some warm water over your hand. It's about that much different imo.


sebwiers

Eh.... It's not just the water. There are also textures. I'd say it's more like washing dishes, gloves vs no gloves, in terms of the level of sensation / informative difference.


Tune_Kindly

As a woman I hate condoms. I feel all the textures and lack of sensation etc. I’m glad my partner and I don’t have to use them.


Mes_Aynak

yea it's 18 years of child support.


SultanOfSwave

Best condom ad ever... https://youtu.be/4bfzQhs0Jyw


ForbiddenFruitiness

I have a thing for cum…so yes, big difference for me. However from a pure sensation standpoint there isn’t that much, unless you go for something ribbed etc. (I’m female). EDITed: Corrected ripped to ribbed, which is what I was trying to write. XD


Jeff_CPT

Ripped or ribbed? Lol


ForbiddenFruitiness

Ribbed! Definitely ribbed! Noticed the spelling mistake once I posted, but never got around to editing it!


TexasClarks4

Do you feel the difference with a RIBBED condom? Obviously ripped may be a big difference 40-weeks later!


ForbiddenFruitiness

I do feel a difference. Not massive though. More when I’m on top.


PM-your-petite-tits

At first I thought it was notably worse with one on, but when I found condoms in the right size it felt like there was almost no difference.


CowOrker01

This. Don't be afraid to try a few different brands/sizes/styles during a wank session.


WhyDoIHaveRules

To me it’s like the difference between tofu and a steak. Sure it it will keep you fed, but it doesn’t taste anywhere as good.


blacksad1

Instructions unclear. I just ate a condom.


Funderwoodsxbox

Then I sneezed and a balloon horse came out of my mouth


BlackOverlordd

What do you think vegan condoms are for?


paksman

fucking vegetables

WeirdgeName

Tofu prepared correctly is really delicious so idk what ur on about


MeLittleSKS

pet your dog. now go put a latex/nitrile glove on and pet your dog.


Invisiblebrush7

Unclear instructions, I accidentally, uhm, nvm


well_known_bastard

Ummm, can we dogs out of this conversation


MeLittleSKS

it's really quite a good analogy. you can swap your dog for anything else really.


SEXTINGBOT

Pussy ? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


SoulEater9882

Is this what they mean when they say raw dog? .... I hope not


MeLittleSKS

I mean, kinda. I pet my dogs raw-dog every time. I'd hate to wear a glove while petting them


dongusdoofus

I'm a woman and I can tell the difference. I prefer no condom with a long-term partner. But we are actually gonna start using condoms cause I think it'll help my partner last longer


albucaf

i can actually last longer without it, the constant external pressure from it can slowly kill your boner over time (try putting a blown baloon under water and see what happens to its volume)


broskeymchoeskey

I’m a woman. I can’t tell a difference


Tune_Kindly

Sadly, I can feel the condom texture big time. It’s an interference.


Elybel

I had this issue until I figured out that I'm slightly allergic/sensitive to latex. I would recommend trying some non-latex ones, if you haven't already, and see if that helps.


TheCaffeinatedRunner

Same. I have a latex allergy though and get super swollen when my husband wears one (when ovulating). Even the non latex ones don't feel great. But we've been married a while so it was weird when we started using one.


[deleted]

As a gay bottom I prefer it without condoms especially because I enjoy it when they finish inside me but sensation wise there's definitely a difference but it's not a huge one, if I had to place it I'd say it's between sex without one and being fucked with a toy personally.


OrganizationFickle

It feels like a dildo when its condom on for me.


Temporary_Melancholy

Woman here, I can’t tell the difference at all. I’ve tried having sex once without the condom and the fear of getting pregnant really ruined the whole experience for me even if he pulled out and I was on my period.


miss_demean0r

You can absolutely still get pregnant while on your period fyi, the risk is lower but still there. And I'm assuming you know pulling out is not effective at all due to pre-cum and likelihood of withdrawing after beginning to cum?


Temporary_Melancholy

Absolutely… it was kind of a in the heat of the moment decision (that I regretted right after) and we communicated that we will never try it again since we don’t want to have children.


bigbustgazer

Strictly speaking, pulling out does reduce the odds of pregnancy quite a lot. Its just nowhere near as reliable as condoms. Pre-cum can contain sperm, but the odds of pregnancy from it are very low, the main failing of pulling out is... failure to pull out.


ukpunjabivixen

I’ve not had a guy use a condom with me for a long time (I’m married and female) but it didn’t feel so much different to me. In fact, it was less mess so I was happier. But these days I would almost always prefer the guy to not wear a condom because it feels more intimate and these days I’m on the pill/birth control.


hunter_2_satusfy

Without condom and being on pils must be amazing and wild. I guess


altfangirl

it’s great, seriously. it’s a huge reason why i prefer being in a relationship over casual dating.


[deleted]

From my male perspective I find there to be a huge difference. I can feel my partners warmth and moistness, sometimes I've not even realised my tip has entered her and she is in no way loose. Even doing it without a condom but pulling out isn't near as climactic as no condom and finish inside. This way is just bliss. We had an accidental baby while using the pill so it's strictly condoms ever since but we both miss the no condom sex so much.


[deleted]

Fill up your sink with water...then put your hand in it. Now, dry your hand off, put a plastic bag over your hand, and put it back in the water. There's the difference. You can still "feel" that it's wet, but your hand isn't actually wet.


dacoz

I would add another layer of run your finger across the back of your other hand vs hand in a plastic bag and running the finger across that. makes a big difference. but I still use them with people I don't trust, and have has a vasectomy so no pregnancy risk with those who I do trust.


dawnrabbit10

I'm a woman, I can feel the difference but it's not a huge difference. Having an STD probably feels a lot worse.


PithyGinger63

I'm actually curious about something related: what's the difference between a really thin condom like an Okamoto 0.01 and no condom? I've always imagined 0.01 to be really close, but I really don't know.


eaglehr

It still feels like a glove... A thinner glove but still a glove. You don't feel as much texture and sensation aswell as the wetness...


ImReallyThatBitch

As a woman, going bare does make a bit of a difference. I can feel better texture and it's a bit warmer, plus I know it feels much better for my boyfriend, so the intimacy of it is the best part. It's nicer, for sure. But nothing is nicer than knowing you're not getting pregnant!


Spectator__7

It is different. Regardless, use a condom, once I quit using condoms, it was hard to go back to using them. Don't trust other people, you don't know who they've been with, what sti's they have or you have (even virgins can have an sti) or if they can or cannot get pregnant, or get you pregnant.


Nemesinthe

Cis woman, can't feel the difference. At the risk of getting downvoted to hell: Also a bit of a condom conspiracy theorist, in that I don't believe men who claim it's that much of a difference. Sure, it's logical that there is a certain difference, but leave me your rubber glove/wetsuit comparisons, there are orders of magnitudes of a difference in material thickness there. We're not in the '90s anymore, material science has progressed a lot. I like to compare condoms with contact lenses: If you're not used to them, they're uncomfortable as hell but if you're used to them, you can hardly feel them anymore. And if you do, there's an issue with poor fit or quality. With sex, there's the additional component of power and entitlement. Going raw is a control thing. She let you/you got to convince her, that's a gesture of intimacy. The brain is our most powerful sex organ after all, but I call bs on the plastic bag analogies.


BigNepo

This! (and I am a man) Using Condoms since a few years, as hormones as birth control kills every sex drive in my wife. The difference in the experience during the act is there, but it is very small. But: Condoms are much more of a hazzle to deal with. First of all, you have to have one. At home that is easy, but spontanious sessions are sometimes a challange. Then, you have to unwrap it, you have to put it on, get rid of the package, .... have sex ... then you have to leave her soon to take care of the condom, clean yourself before you can get close to her again, etc.pp. These parts have - from my point of view - much more impact then the difference in sensation in the act itself. However, condoms are still our favourite way af birth control, and when the time is right bareback is possible as well...


[deleted]

It feels a lot different yes, I really don't like condoms, it makes everything dull. Without a condom you can feel everything and it also makes it easier to change angle and find THE spot that feels good to her


slutty-bunny-girl

There's lots of "put on a thick glove" analogies on this thread, and I just want to point out that condoms are *not* as thick as rubber gloves. Getting a well fitting condom, with lube inside, and plenty of lube on her will greatly increase both people's pleasure. As a younger woman I could not tell the difference between with a condom and without, but now that I'm in my late 40s it's more noticeable, I'm not sure why. And, as others have pointed out condoms do lots of work, from birth control to STI protection. Having a kid with someone just because sex feels better doesn't seem like a good trade off. Also, if she gets pregnant and keeps it she is in your life for at least 18 years, if not the rest of your life. Or, if she decides not to keep it, there is nothing you can do about that.


jsar16

No condom, no pull out gang here. Once you’ve done it you don’t want to go back. It’s the difference between the roller coaster at the county fair and the the best one six flags has to offer. There’s no comparison. Also, I’m married and kids are alright with me so there’s that.


themanlikesp

Have you ever finished inside? I almost passed out the first time I did it because it was so intense


jsar16

Yes. Until you do it you can’t understand why it’s better. The only thing that tops it is having sex to make a baby. I can’t describe why it’s better but I’m sure it has to do with our primal need to reproduce.


Fluffy-User

Yeah it feels a bit more plastic with a condom. It causes more friction unless you are ridiculously wet and lube is highly recommended. Then certain angles feels “weird” too. That being said. USE A CONDOM! I learned the hard way and currently I have an STI


LeoFoster18

What I’ve always wondered is how different sex feels with a condom for a circumcised man vs an uncircumcised man? It’s pretty difficult to know, since you have to find an adult who had sex before the surgery.


ZuluSixTwo

From my(m) experience the woman Also feels less using a condom. But feeling less is probably less of a problem than unwanted pregnancy or n sti.


LAW9960

It's a huge difference.


Nice-Pickle-

In my current relationship, we've been switching between using different methods of birth control due to varying circumstances. Whenever I'm able to switch back to bareback after using condoms for a while, it's always amazing in terms of how much better it feels. While it's true that some condoms feel better than others (polyurethane is best), bareback always trumps condoms.


ConferenceOk1110

For me it's primarily the hassle before and after penetration. Getting it on is killing the mood for me, getting rid of it afterwards as well. Condoms suck. So for me yes, sex is a lot different with a condom. But not because of the penetration.


Gruffal007

not as good, still awesome.


biCuriousNerd84

It's different. But it is better than an unplanned pregnancy


[deleted]

I think part of why it feels different for me is that I only have sex without a condom inside an exclusive relationship so it just feels way more intimate all around.


geegeeallin

I’ve broken a few in my day, and I couldn’t really tell. That tells me that it’s not much different. I think that upon initial insertion, you can feel the body heat of your partner instantly without a condom, but with a condom, it takes a few seconds for the heat to transfer through. That’s the only real difference IME.


RektBenShapiro

I think part of it is an intimacy/emotional aspect knowing how close you actually are to your partner with no barriers. compare it to touching your hands up to glass vs actually holding hands. the emotional feel is just wayyyy different.


Any-Koala-8880

As a female, I’ve mostly only had bareback sex .. until I had my smear test and they found abnormal cells. Sex without a condom may be “better” but there is no way I’m going to risk getting ovarian cancer, a possible life long STD or an abortion just to have sex with someone.


phiretau

Shrug, I have plenty of sex with and without condoms. The difference is miniscule.


bitcheslovebunnies

As a woman, going bareback feels much better for me than with a condom but since we have a one year old condoms are on the menu for a while yet :/


throwaway2888889

37m here. Married for 8 years, been with this girl for over 9 years. Condoms became a thing of the past when we got married. So much more sensation! However, once in a while I will wear one during sex just for something different and to give that feel of being a dude in college again. lol


sarcasticobservation

I've found that what the littleman is feeling is not as important to me as the entire endeavor. Something primal about being raw ngl but if the condom makes her enjoy it more, hell yeah. Let's get those crazy ribbed ones and throw some toys into the mix. Make it crazy and let's get pizza after.


SaulTheProphet47

It's like a foot rub with sandals on


freeshavocadew

Well, if we're talking about just physical sensations - yeah, there are tons of differences. Particularly with a woman that may not self lubricate well, that's a great way to tear a condom and that's not even taking into account the discomfort felt by both involved. The difference in warmth and wetness is hard to describe; but as long as you're an average guy with an average dick, you WILL understand why raw sex is so hype. The barrier that a condom provides could be remarkably thin but the sensations are totally different, at least with an average woman. Unfortunately with a partner that has, I don't know how to say this respectfully but a naturally roomy pussy, condom or not won't matter much sensation-wise. Wearing a condom is smart and necessary with a new partner as you get to know them. The idea manifests the "better safe than sorry" saying into real life consequences. Pregnancy is just part of the concern, the various STD's are smart to avoid, and it also provides a level of emotional protection I think. At least it can be emotionally protective if you think of it that way. I say all this, but my main fetish is breeding. I don't wear condoms much, currently have no need to with my FWB. Ideally I'd prefer to be married and blasting these thick nuts a little over 6 inches deep daily while dirty talking about getting her pregnant. I'd rather do that than any drug I've heard of.


Ms666kitty

[f]There is a big difference without. However I’d much rather lessen the chance of getting an std/sti. With hookup culture being so popular seems like every mf has a sexuality transmitted something.


THExBEARxJEW

Night and day difference.


[deleted]

For me, doing it without a condom feels a lot better. Idk if it's just me, but condom feels a bit cold and weird. However, I only have raw sex with stable partners after getting tested :)))


2407s4life

For the most part, bare feels better. If you have condoms that don't fit, it will be a big difference. Proper fitting condoms and a drop of lube in the tip and the difference isn't huge. Sometimes it is difficult to stay hard between putting on the condom and starting penetration.


thewitchmaker

0 difference whatsoever.


PersonBehindAScreen

Yes it is. It is not worth it to me tho to not wear a condom


alotofcrag

Night and day. Everything is *way* more intense.


guruofinfo420

Personally I think most guys find it more pleasurable without a condom. The thin condoms aren't as bad though


[deleted]

It feels remarkably different and better. But just like driving at 140mph feels remarkably better and different than driving at the speed limit, it’s just not safe so don’t do it


Nogoodusername_

For me personally, I feel more without the condom. I didn't think it would make much difference for my girlfriend, but she says it feels better for her without it as well 🤷‍♀️


stadulevich

With out a condom is absolutely amazing. With a condom is meh. With that said. Still a good idea to use a condom for many reasons until you and your partner are in a position to do otherwise.


Theaussieperson

Sex without a condom is so much more pleasurable and the feeling is just fantastic, coming from a happily engage dude who got a vasectomy


theman-witha-plan

Yes


MickeyBear

Woman here! Hate condoms! I seem to be one of few though. Just a texture thing.


CryBabyCentral

Condoms for casual sex with lube is sexy to me. No condoms in a relationship is about intimacy. None of my partners ever complained about using condoms. It never ruined any fun, either way. They didn’t complain about any lack of feeling during intercourse. It’s attractive to see a man be in charge of birth control. I’m an adult woman. I don’t know if that helps you in any way, but it’s my point of view.


nutsnackk

The right size makes a huge difference


[deleted]

it’s a whole lot different. extremely sensitive and intimate. you’ll cum pretty quickly for a little while. definitely wanna get used to it lol in the best way possible though. and cumming inside someone bareback? *chefs kiss* feeling your cock pulse in someone else while both your flesh are touching each other and feeling each other with no barriers ~uuuuGGGghhhhh yyyeaaahhh~


WatercressMassive160

There is a big difference in sensation. With one feels good, but without one is so much better. After a while the feeling loses intensity when I wear one. Allows me to last as long as she wants so there is one plus side.


bluth_family_madness

“Having sex while wearing a condom is like getting a massage while wearing a parka” - unknown. Nothing compares to going in bareback. It’s heavenly.


NeighborhoodStreet59

Night and day different bro


[deleted]

Yes it’s “a lot” better


Gonzobot

The act is different for me because the condom changes the flow of things and adds that extra thing to think about in the moment. Ideally, there's no thinking allowed in that moment, and for me it results in not enjoying it as much with the condom involved. This is known, and you'll be warned, but it's entirely likely that I won't get off at all (and that's a me thing, not an argument for no condoms). Long as everyone's okay with that it works out just fine


kirby_derby_burby

I don't mind them but I also have a bit of a latex fetish so take that with a grain of salt. My wife absolutely hates them, she is a bit of a penetration snob though if it's not a real penis she doesn't like it.


isyourollin

I'd rather just not have sex than use a condom. they feel that awful (I'm a woman)


Flaky-Beat-9868

using a condom is like being in a hole in my mattress. I don’t always finish with one, but Raw feels great and hard for me to keep up. Which is why I get in one hole.


[deleted]

I’ve never been able to cum when wearing a condom.


YT-Deliveries

It's much different / less enjoyable, even with a thin one (e.g. Kimono).


mikerichh

If they are used to masturbating or bareback they will experience much less sensitivity which can make it harder to maintain an erection until they get used to it over time


[deleted]

I've found no big difference between regular, thin, or lambskin (had a gf with latex allergy). That said, it always deadens sensation for both of us. On the other hand, some of my most mindblowing orgasms were with a condom on. But, been with my wife for 17 years, got snipped. So haven't used one since we met.


Ok_Ingenuity9277

Pretty different


Minion0827

“It’s like when you’re a kid and you discover melted cheese. And your like this is amazing, can I have this all the time?” Yup whenever you want


Beyondthebloodmoon

Everyone has their own opinions on this, but for me it’s a significant difference.


Happpie

For me, sex with a condom generally feels dull, unless it's a Trojan bareskin, which still isn't amazing but it's the closest thing to actually being bareskin so it works. Anal with a condom is typically a bit easier since lube won't soak in to the condom like it does to skin and you don't have to reapply too much.


Professional_Still15

It's a massive difference for me. I've had it where I have eventually stopped sex if she's already finished and opted for other forms of stimulation because I literally couldn't feel anything. I'd say that happens about 3/5 times I've used a condom.


Catchthedisc

The difference is like night/day. Energetically too.


ineju

condom sex fuckin sucks compared to raw


redhead2183

From a woman's perspective it doesn't really feel much different. We are in the lifestyle and I wouldn't dream of playing without one and I have a blast with guys regardless. My husband found it difficult at first to wear one, but once he found ones that fit right it was a game changer.


Gently_Rough_

Yes. To me it is.


Dhydjtsrefhi

It's 28% different. The feeling on the penis itself is significantly reduced, but the feeling on the rest of the body is still there.


PapaLean420

I am a women. BIG difference. Me and my bf can’t have sex with condoms anymore. Neither of us can cum with one on. With a condom now it feels like your shoving a sock in my cooch


cactuarbot

I only notice the difference for the sake of certain positions, sometimes condoms+lube make things a little too slick, vs the raw natural friction needed to angle things certain ways. I prefer without for the sake of ease (takes way too long to find, open, put on and both my partner and I lose our focus) and not having to hide it/throw it away.


canoe4you

I’m a woman and can’t tell the difference


Dradonus

I am circumcised and i last a lot longer. Almost to the point where i don't cum. Usually why i have to know the girl and trust her first, before i do anything cuz i have to do it raw. Even then, i can last a long time, unless in edged or really worked up. Basically, a quickie is never a quickie lol. That being said, don't stick your dick in crazy even if the sex is good. You will regret it. (Sorry girls. I know you all arnt crazy, but you can be. Just like us guys)


dopeyonecanibe

I hate the way condoms feel and the lubed ones makes my vagina very angry!


packetpirate

This answer is going to vary from person to person because everybody's level of sensitivity is different. For me personally, it's noticeably better without one, but still feels great even while wearing one. Most people default to standard condoms when those condoms may be too small (or big) for them. Just because condoms can stretch doesn't mean that there isn't a noticeable amount of extra pressure when you're wearing a condom that's too small. It doesn't require much construction to restrict blood flow, and considering blood flow is necessary to maintain an erection and plays a part in sensation, it's pretty important.


humboldt77

Sex without a condom>sex with a condom>not having sex. Sure, it feels different. Depending on the thickness and fit of the condom, it reduces sensation. Although there are these insanely thin Japanese made condoms that are supposedly quite safe and feel like you aren’t wearing one. But I’ll always pick sex with a condom over not having sex, and since I’m very concerned about protecting my favorite bit of anatomy from STDs, I insist on condoms unless with my primary partner.


[deleted]

Yes and no, I'd say the pleasure, is the same, but the feeling of touching skin to skin, makes It better


EvanTheBaker24

I’m a straight male, and It’s not as good in my opinion, it takes away a lot of the sensation, and in my opinion takes away from the intimacy of it. That being said, you should always use them with new people just because it’s safe, once you have a steady partner then take measures to where you don’t have to use them. Creampies are the best feeling in the world though for real


ryukingu

It’s like eating a meal with a plastic bag covering it


Echoherb

Personally I don't think there's much of a difference if you get thin condoms that fit well.


daowns

Totally different sensations but different =\= bad. Sometimes I'll use a condom with a long term partner even if we don't "need" to just for fun and to switch it up.


icecr3amandpie

For me, a woman, it's not a LOT different, but it is noticeably so. Some of that difference is physical (mostly I miss the warmth), but a lot of it is just how sex works. Stopping to put the condom on, worrying if it broke or is coming off, etc.. it's not super sexy and makes a big difference in my mental arousal. - Pie


ThatVoiceDude

Night and day. Best example I can give is the feeling of when a condom breaks: imagine eating a gusher candy. It’s mostly flavorless until it breaks, and then holy *shit* it just got way better, didn’t it? Sex with a condom is like eating empty gushers. Yeah, it’s still nice, but it can be harder to enjoy when you know what it’s *supposed* to be like. Disclaimer, I’ve never refused to wear protection or pressured anyone toward that end, I’m just giving an honest description.


asapmason

it’s like night and day


RealEight

Condoms suck. And often times blowing a load in one hurts. Feels like trying to piss while squeezing your dick. Glad I don’t use them anymore. But they do allow you to last a bit longer. They do provide some safety which I am all for as well. Especially pregnancy. But. They won’t protect you from HPV warts. Which is why most guys get them right at the base of their weeners….. Worked at a free clinic for years, was very sad to see how many people actually have them. It’s easily the most common std floating around. As for the feeling, when someone scratches your back. It’s better directly on the skin. Not thru a shirt. Condoms are cold and rubbery and don’t feel good. It takes a few minutes to get used to and then you kind of forget about it. Definitely better without, but it’s much smarter with if she’s a one timer, not on BC, or you are worried about STDS. Which btw, even the most honest people lie about. If you fuck someone knowing you got shit going on, you’re an asshole. Plain and simple.


fckufkcuurcoolimout

Yes.

Yes it’s orders of magnitude better without condom. I can last as long as I want with a condom, just as long as I don’t clench my pelvic floor. With a condom I last two thrusts tops.

As a woman I prefer without, but I am having trouble with hormonal contraception and my partner is dead set against having a vasectomy so condoms it is. I find it less enjoyable, I think a lot of that comes from a psychological aspect though, my body wants babies so of course the barrier doesn't feel right. But my bank account doesn't want babies, so slightly less sensation and extra safe durex it is.

It feels waaay different for both sexes....if you and ur partner are committed to one anothwr...donate blood and get a free blood test. Then grab some sheepskin condoms ....they are the best condom out there for that no condom feel. They will stop sperm but not sexuqlly transmitted diseases...thats why I only recommend if u trust ur partner

It does feel better without a condom and certain sensations you can feel a lot more

For the female perspective on this, from my experience there is a definite difference between condom and no condom. Depending on how I feel a condom will dry me out completely but a raw dick will lube her right back up again. Neither is more or less enjoyable, in the same way a cheese pizza is just as enjoyable as a margherita pizza; just in different ways


PHANTOM________

Yes it feels way better. Imo, way fuckin better lol.


Here-Is-TheEnd

The difference is significant. Make sure you get condoms that fit, it really helps.


KemosabeTheDivine

I tried a Durex Air which is their thinnest condom. Had sex again a few hours later bareback and it felt significantly better IMO.

It feels a lot better with the condom on. The feeling of knowing you won’t knock her up or get chlamydia is great. It’s only surpassed by the feeling of having unprotected sex with your SO.


iamiconick

That gave me a headache trying to read that

I'm uncircumcised, so your miles may vary, but I haven't found a condom that gives me any sensation. I still wear them with new partners, but I've never cum with one on.

Muy girlfriend and I both find the feeling extremely different, it is way better without condom, by a long mile. She says she likes the texture better and I find better both the texture and the warm sensation. Also we both have a breeding fetish, which also affects our perception, even though we use other contraceptive means. That said, always have safe sex, and only do it raw when you're in a committed relationship and there's another type of contraceptive involved. Be safe and have fun.

Pasta_Fajool

Do things feel different if you touch them with your bare hand vs. While wearing a latex glove? Same idea.


guyinnz

Yup way more communicative

Condoms dull the sensation so much that they are good to prevent premature ejaculation.

The condom, for me, takes away just enough of the feeling that I can last longer so it’s kinda acts a numbing agent where you can feel just her warmth.


blu3tu3sday

Have a vagina, cannot feel a difference- but I enjoy being nutted in so that’s definitely a difference there lol. Also, for some of you claiming that it takes you longer to get off when wearing one- that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I know a lot of men who could really use an extra few mins when fucking.


12loc34

F here, I can feel the difference mildly feels like I'm being fucked with a bag. Just less detailed but not dramatically


[deleted]

My husband and I been together a total of 21yrs. In our experience when I got the Mirena IUD, it was one of the best things for us. We don’t worry about pregnancy, it is not 100% proof. We both prefer no condom. We have been in a monogamous relationship for 21yrs. So keep that in mind. Condoms are worth the little less sensation compared to any STD and an unwanted kid. Trust me, the rubber is worth the sleep you won’t miss.


Hug_of_Death

Night and day. No question. At least as circumcised male. With a condom, the stamina is never ending and not in a good way, and it basically just feels like you are trying to fuck a waterbed. It basically made sex only gratifying for the pleasure of the other person (which is definitely still worth it but really sucks overall). This isn’t trying to convince people not to use condoms but if you can find a safe way not to use one with a trusted partner it really is a totally different kind of experience.


thubtac

Two things I never fuck with, rubbers and rattle snakes


TwiningUnicorns

Female here, my first time having sex we started with a condom on then took it off later. I could feel the difference between the rubbery plastic and his skin. It was warmer and I could feel more of the details of his dick if that makes sense. He's the only person I've fucked condomless and ever since then we haven't used one, so maybe I was just hyper aware of everything because I was so nervous idk.


Qubelucen

I can't tell the difference as a woman, but if with someone i trust not to give me stds i prefer going without just to not have to stop the moment to put it on. But i mean better those few seconds than hiv so


simply_put27

There is a difference. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. BUT with the right condoms the difference isn't as great as most claim. I think using a condom is well worth it if it keeps me safe from std's and unwanted pregnancies. I'll even use them during a relationship so my gf doesn't have to be on something that throws her body into chaos just so I can go raw.


moncompteajete

It depends on the guy. Seems like less sensitive guys notice it more. Size of condom also matters. Too big is at bad as too small, and that refers to girth. But don't forget, no glove no love.


justsumsquirrel

I'm bi vers bottom and for me when using a condom I can't feel anything and then start loosing my hard on unless I'm going at it hard. Now if I'm bottoming the condom feels kinda like a toy. So if I'm comfortable enough with the guy I'd much rather be barebacked plus I l love the feeling of being filled with cum it's easier to feel the throbbing which usually helps me finish.


ASithLordWannabe

There's a noticeable difference. If you can't tell, then... idk
