Safe sex is a crucial aspect of maintaining a healthy and responsible sexual lifestyle. Condoms have long been regarded as an effective barrier method for preventing unwanted pregnancies and protecting against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
However, many individuals may perceive condoms as a barrier to intimacy or associate them with negative stereotypes. In this article, we will debunk common misconceptions about condoms and explore four steamy ways to make condoms sexy and enjoyable as part of intimate moments. Let's dive in!
How to make condoms a sexy and enjoyable part of intimate moments
Durex® offers a wide range of condoms to find the right kind for you, including ultra-thin condoms for heightened sensitivity, ribbed or textured condoms for added pleasure, and even flavored condoms for a tantalizing experience.
1. Incorporate foreplay and anticipation
Slow down and build anticipation by incorporating sensual activities like kissing, caressing, and teasing. Delaying the moment can intensify desire and make the use of condoms feel like an exciting part of the overall experience. Take your time to explore each other's bodies, heighten arousal, and create a sense of intimacy before reaching for the condom.
2. Add some spice
Before you put on a condom, make sure you’ve got it facing the right side-up. The reservoir tip of the condom should be facing upwards with the rim of the condom flaring out and in a position to roll downward. Squeeze a few drops of tingling lube inside the condom for an even more pleasurable experience. The sensation of the condom with the lube will have you and your partner wanting more. Remember to not overdo it as too much lube can cause the condom to slip off.
3. Put on a show
Men are very visual creatures and seeing you put on a condom without your hands will turn him on even more. Start by adding a bit of lube onto your lips with your fingers and gently place the tip of the condom into your mouth, with the outside of the tip resting on your tongue as your purse your lips to hold it steady. Then wrap your mouth around his penis as you guide the condom into position. When done in a deliberately slow manner with a ton of eye contact, putting on the condom can be exciting for you both.
4. Work together
Instead of having your partner put the condom on by himself, tell him to use your hands instead. Let him unwrap the condom, place it in your hands and guide you towards his penis. When you have the base of the condom positioned on the head of his penis, slowly roll the sides down for an exciting tease. For a night he truly won’t forget. Add a cock ring before you place the condom to help him maintain a firmer erection for a longer and intensifying pleasure you both can feel.
5. Keep the pace
Too much stop-and-go action in the bed can not only be tiring, but can be a buzzkill for him. Since guys need a steady form of arousal to keep an erection, make sure to have condoms easily accessible during foreplay. Having condoms easily accessible is very helpful, but that doesn’t mean you have to rush the process of putting one on. As things begin to get hot and heavy, without breaking contact; slip a condom over his penis, making sure to never stop or slow down your pace.
