Nothing but excuses: 5 absurd reasons why men don't want to use a condom


You mean your friend is uncreative? Then ask him if you want to use a condom during sex. Men often come up with the craziest excuses why they can't wear rubber. You shouldn't fall for these excuses.

Contraception is a woman's business? Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that. We still have more options with pills and the like, but that doesn't mean that we are solely responsible for them. In a one-night stand or an affair, the condom should go without saying. Even in a relationship there are enough reasons to use a condom, for example if you cannot tolerate hormones. But have you ever noticed that men can get quite creative when it comes to avoiding the use of a condom? The most common excuses:

1. Sorry, my penis is too big

More like his ego! Because there is a suitable condom for practically every penis size in the drugstore. So if your friend isn't a full-grown ox, that's a clear case of excuse.

2. I have a latex allergy

In theory there is. However, it happens quite rarely. And if he shouldn't be fooling around: there are also latex-free condoms. So no problem!

3. I don't feel anything with it

Well, of course that is in the genitals of the beholder. However, studies have even shown that a condom doesn't make sex less fun. The likely diagnosis: condom hypochondria.

4. I am a master of coitus interruptus

Or the master of excuses? Because that's how you get the best piece out of your partner – unfortunately, that doesn't protect you from pregnancy. So you can't just let this pretext get away.

5. They'll tear anyway

Um. Yes, sometimes. So really sometimes, sometimes. So not using a condom in the first place doesn't really make sense, does it?

In addition to the top 5, there are of course plenty of other condom excuses. "The supermarket was already closed", "Condoms make me impotent", "If you really love each other, you don't use a condom" … blah blah blah blah. No matter what arguments your bed companion has to produce – if he does not want to use a condom, he is an egoist and probably has no place in your bed.
