Why do I break condoms?

A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Why is it that I break condoms regularly. It happens about 20% of the time which is very often considering I'm very sexually active. It's very concerning to me as usual hookups that are supposed to be pleasurable end up in paranoia and fear of catching a disease.

I use the magnum thin condoms made by Trojan.

Although the regular version doesn't feel as good, I will start using it going forward to see if thats the issue.

Thanks

You are definately doing something wrong! If you blow one up with air you will see how much they stretch! To break one you would need to scratch or stretch one part beyond its limit. Possibly if where you are putting it isnt lubricated? But I would imagine a woman dry enough to tear a condom would be screaming in pain! Probably you are not being careful with the rolling technique and catching a finger nail. Trying another brand is also an idea.

Sandman agony auntIt's possible that during the opening of the package, you may be tearing the condom during the process. Remember to be more careful when opening the package.

Long, jagged fingernails can certainly be a culprit (it was for me). Make sure you're rolling the condom down with the pads of your fingertips and not the nails.

Hope this helps.

Tisha-1 agony auntIf you are breaking one out of five condoms then you either have a bad batch, are opening them wrong. are using the wrong lubricant or don't know how to use them. Here's a good link for you:

Talk to your doctor about your situation if you keep breaking condoms.

So_Very_Confused agony auntis it possible you need the Magnum XLs (they are bigger than the regular Magnums) and yes leaving a bit of room in the tip is crucial.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (23 September 2013):

Yeah, the easiest way to break condoms is to roll them on without leaving a little wad of extra condom at the tip pinched off. The pinched off section should be like a little deflated balloon at the tip. The semen is supposed to collect in there and fill it up rather than force its way out down around your dick or break the condom.

Are you expelling the air in the end when you roll it on?

Well are you pinching the tip as you put it on?? There such be about 2cm pocket at the end of the condom that is NOT full of air. I doubt if it isyour size unless your bigger then 7-8 inches...
