Do you think it might be a mental thing? I've noticed that the more mentally resistant couples (and especially men) are to condoms, the more they complain of discomfort when using them. It can become a self-reinforcing cycle.

That said, I assume you've tried extra-thin condoms? Not just the ones you can buy at the grocery stores... the ones you can order online, or buy at good quality sex shops (e.g. Good Vibrations or Babeland). They are a little more expensive, usually in the 60-90 cent range per condom, but they can be worth it.

Lastly, have you had this problem with any previous partners (if you had any), or is it just this guy? And are you on hormonal BC as well?

I don't really think it's a mental thing, I don't remember ever having that feeling in the past, and yes I am on hormonal BC. I'll definitely try investing in some higher quality ones, and see if that works.. definitely makes sense.
Thanks so much for your reply
