Was it bad for me to ask my boyfriend to get condoms? So that he could try them on. He said he knows how to do it but he never tried.. So I made him buy some to practice putting on so he doesn't rip it or anything.

Aubrey answered Tuesday July 24 2007, 7:29 pm: It is not ridiculous at all to want your boyfriend to practice. in fact it seems like a very good idea. if he has a problem with it, ask him how it would be if the condme did break. is it worth it to pratice a little to avoid something that huge. Condems can tear when you put them on, speaking from experience, somethings that can help are praticing like you told him, and gettting good condems. don't try to save a little money, get the good ones. i recommend trojan.

I think that whether you and your boyfriend have had sex with other partners or not you have been extremely sensible in asking him to practice putting on a condom. It may also be an idea for you to learn how to do this too as neither partner should bear the whole responsibility for contraception. If you want to practice - use a banana.
Condoms can tear when you put them on if you use the incorrect method and I am sure that neither or you would wish to be in that situation.
