I want to...Last Longer

This blog post is inspired by the tales of woe that I have heard from friends navigating the dating world. There are a lot of lacklustre fuckers out there, don't be one of them!

Condoms make my dick sad :(

No-one cares my bro. I know your boner feels like an emergency but I can promise that it is only you that feels that way. If you bitch and moan about condoms, it sounds like you think that your convenience is more important than their safety/health and they will remember this. And they will tell their friends. What can you do? Well, plenty! Starting with these hot tips.

It hurts!

If wearing a condom hurts then you're either wearing the wrong size or you may have a sensitivity to either the material or lube (most condoms have a light coating of lubricant). The easiest way to get it right is to get a selection of sizes and styles and try them all out.

Once you have the right size for you, you should check out the non-latex condoms too. Having options available automatically makes you a better lover, even before you hit the bedroom.

I can't feel anything!

If you are used to going without, you might feel like you're losing sensation when you use condoms.
BZZZZTTTT!!! Wrong answer buddy pal

Yet again, the first step is to make sure you're wearing the right size condom. If it's too loose, the material won't be transmitting body heat as smoothly as it is designed to do. Once you're kitted out in the right size, it's time to practice. That's right - I'm looking at the Divorced Dad squad - you oughta start wanking with your 'dom on. Give yourself a chance to get used to associating condoms with pleasure, and be amazed at how much easier cleaning up after yourself just got!

NEWS FLASH Non-latex condoms are often thinner than regular latex condoms, which means that they transmit even more body heat, even faster! They don't have as much stretch as regular latex condoms so read the box and make sure you're wearing the right size

Want to add even more sensation? Too easy! Experiment with condom-friendly sensation lubes like Wicked Chill, or Fleshlube Fire

They make my dick go soft!

Friend, it's not the condom that's making your fella flaccid...it's your feelings. It's called confirmation bias and it means that you are more likely to notice information that confirms your beliefs, e.g. if you believe that condoms kill your boner, guess what's going to happen...

Want to keep your flagpole raised? Use a cock ring. Remember when you used to wrap a rubber band round your thumb in primary school? Same principle. A cock ring applies just enough pressure around the base of your shaft to keep the blood flow in your erection and provide some stability. They come in different sizes, materials, and styles. The best ones to start with are stretchy (which also makes them easier to take off afterwards) or even adjustable.

I've tried all the options and NOTHING works for me!

It's okay, I believe you. Allow me to introduce your new best friend, the Femidom.

Femidoms are latex-free (transmitting body heat Super Quick) and designed to be worn in the receiving orifice-of-choice. They provide a lot of regional coverage, which is also super handy if anyone is having a herpes flare-up*. They're amazing for people that struggle with regular condoms or erection for whatever reason (size, shape, surgery, hormones, sensitivity, whisky, whatever) and even friends that have used them for group sex and gang-bangs sign their praises.

Approximately 1 in 8 sexually active Australians has genital herpes. It isn't just confined to the genitals - infections or flares can occur anywhere on the body including the eyes, mouth, and butt cheeks. Many people aren't aware that they have genital herpes.

Don't be weird, be awesome. Practicing harm reduction is sexy AF!

I need more stamina

Have you been taking your vitamins? Libido Enhancers come (hehe) in a wide variety of applications and they most commonly address stamina and endurance (i.e. repeat performance). Active ingredients vary between brands and if you're a gym guy, you'll recognise a lot of ingredients from your pre-workout mix - another product designed to encourage increased blood-flow, enhance recovery and reduce stress.

If you're planning a marathon, don't forget your electrolytes! I'd hate for you to do all this prep and then suffer from dehydration.

I am too sensitive, I need to take the edge off!

Take the pressure off your performance and have a pre-date wank. Think of it as a dress rehearsal, you're just giving everything a quick check up so it's in working order later.

Lights, camera, ready for action? There are few more options for your bedside table to help keep things running smooth. Delay Condomsare a thing - they are made of a thicker latex to help reduce sensation however they only come in 54mm width so if you wear a different size, you'll need another option. Lucky for you, that's exactly what we've got! There are a range of delay sprays, gels and creams with strengths to suit every need. The most popular are lidocaine-based sprays like Stud 100 as they are rapid-drying and condom safe.

Switch it up!

If they have to wait every time that you need to pause, you will be saved as 2 Pump Chump and I'm not even sorry for you. Diversify your skill sets - get good at oral and get great with your hands. Get some snacks, bottles of water (moaning is thirsty work) and some sex toys because making out while they play with a toy is hot and the best way to maintain momentum and keep them warmed up while you cool off.

Get a toy. Fuck it, get 2 toys and have one on charge while you use the other so you never run out of juice. A slim vibe like this will provide targeted sensation without getting in the way.

TL;DR recap:

1. Get condoms that fit, and invest in latex-free options

2. Cock rings help to stabilize emotional boners

3. Take your vitamins, and stay hydrated!

4. Delay sprays are a great way to slow your roll

5. Snacks and sex toys are your friend

Have fun, fuckers!
