my boyfriend and i are somewhat sexually active but so far i've found that condoms have made sex quite painful like too much friction or something...help?! thanks.
You have an allergy to the spermicide (Nonoxyl 9) thats on the outside of most condoms.
- If this is the case, a way to test is to get a spermicide from CVS or walgreens and have him put a little on his finger and finger you with it. If it quickly begins to hurt, you have probably found your culprit.
You might have a latex allergy.
- Get a condom that does not have nonoxyl 9 lube on it and try that. If you still hurt, possibilities include latex allergy.
You might not be wet enough.
- He needs to warm you up a bit more. A bit more foreplay. It might be possible that buying a tube of astroglide wouldnt be a bad idea. They carry that at CVS/wal mart or where ever as well. Get that over K/Y. K/Y is terrible, gets sticky very very quickly.

Whatever you do, don't go without one. They are made to protect you.
