A delicate question...


Hey girls...

Just after answering the post about the mooncup I thought I would put it to you girls too.

My OH had never had sex without a condom before we started ttc...I think this is great of him etc etc BUT

He has been finding it a bit uncomfortable on his little guy.

I know I get quite "wet"(sorry tmi!!) btu have bought pre-seed also for this cycle. He sas it will just take time to get used too but is willing to put up with it if it will help get us a I dont want him hurting on the other hand but my god want a

I just wondered if anyone else had encountered this erm hitch in ttc?

We've been having the same problem. Before TTC we were so paranoid about getting pg by accident (ironic isn't it?!) we used BCP and condoms. DH has been quite tender but he's battling through. Does mean some days though he just can't face it and I'm not in the mood if I think he's hurting regardless of the potential result.

Haven't tried pre-seed yet, wanted to give EPO a go although I too generally get pretty wet (sorry tmi!). Just wonder if the egg white consistency would be more comfortable for him. EPO didn't do a huge amount this cycle but I'll give it a try again before going to the expense of pre-seed.

Hey Lu and Vivanco...

I havent tried EPO...maybe should get myself down boots and get some???

OH recons it will just take him some time to get used to and toughen up a bit

I do feel so so bad for him, but it was something we had never anticipated when we were preparing ourselves to ttc.

Hole in condom..did actually consider this until OH pointed out they contain spermacide(spelling??)

Fingers crossed for you BFP soon too!!

wow thats something I never really thought about, but I suppose it's valid. I know I feel "naked" when I don't have my handbag with me, although it's obv psychological, should imagine it's a similar feeling so maybe this it too? After all a penis is made for going there and coping quite well!

I'd just advise to stick with it and he'll get used to it eventually lol

I think he will toughen up after a while.

My college b/f was a virgin when we got together and of course once we started we were at it like rabbits and I was on the pill, so his little guy was sensitive in the beginning but after a while he toughened right up!

I have heard so many past boyfriends complain about condoms!!!!
saying they felt strangled......never thought "bare back" would be painful as well.....
Maybe your toooooo tight........(to much friction) A toy might help with that problem until he is less sensitive.
As far as cutting condoms....most if not all have spermicide or "normal" lube that doesn't kill them BUT they do stop moving. as per preseed site.
I know thay make "lambskin" condoms for ppl with allergies to latex. and probably do not lube them due to allergies as well. maybe give them a go....but be warned they can be expensive.
God luckand take it easy on him!!!!! hehe
