my bf cant keep his penis erected when using condom. sometimes he can but mostly he couldnt. he says he cant feel that much. (this isnt stopping us from having sex but its kinda frustrating sometimes) and when he takes the condom off he'll feel relieved cuz his penis can 'breathe' again. whats wrong??? HELP!

He might be feeling a bit akward. Help him put it on if you can, and make sure its lubricated and the right size for him. Try keep him turned on while he does it. Don't give up on them them-condoms are VERY important.

well so far we've only bought durex because we feel that that brand can be trusted rather than other brands found in condom stores. do brands really matter??
and mostly i'm the one who puts the condom on for him or i'll turn him on when he's putting on the condom.. so i think that its the size of the condom thats causing this problem.

Make sure it does fit and make sure he's relaxed. Keep trying to turn him on while he's putting it on or even try putting it on yourself.

The right size and some water based lubricant will work wonders.

I hate durex, I've had nothing but problems with them. The durex large-size isn't even as nice as the trojan larges -- the durex are the same the whole way up, so they're still just a smidgen too small. Trojans are only small at the base, so it's just small where it needs to be -- to hold the damned thing on.

when you get one that fits, you'll have WAY fewer problems putting them on, that's for sure.

YES YES YES brands matter.
