Limp dick with a condom

Ask Alex,
I hope you can help out with this. Whenever I have sex with someone, usually I don't use condoms because I never really had protected sex especially when my girlfriend doesn't want me to use one. Now I'm single and occasionally I meet someone and when it comes down to the deed, I can't maintain an erection when I put the condom on. Is there something wrong with me? Is there any exercise I can do to overcome this? Thank you.
Limp with a condom on,

Dear Limp with a condom on,
What you are experiencing is normal. Many men who put on a condom for the first time have the same problem.  The unusual sensation causes them to lose their erection.

The Solution: Practice wearing a condom.  Practice makes perfect. 

• Try masturbating with a condom on (there are now many different types of condoms you can try.  Colored ones, flavored ones, large ones and even tasty ones!
• Try putting a condom on every morning when you wake up (all men wake up with an erection). Then wear the condom around the house as you cook breakfast, do the laundry and mop the floors!
• Try putting a dab of lubrication on the tip of your penis before putting the condom on. While the lubrication may not help you maintain an erection, it may increase the sensations that you experience with the condom on.
• Practice laughing at yourself.  Sex mishaps are funny! Laughing in bed with a partner can be just as much fun as having a good orgasm (but in a different sort of way).

	Our Philosophy sex is like dancing, it changes every time. It depends on culture, atmosphere and mood. Sometimes it is done alone, with a partner or in a group. It can be fast and hard or slow and soft. Sex is a combination of non-verbal negotiation and verbal cues: a scream, a twitch of the toes, or a flush of the face. There is no one 'right' way to move, only what feels good to all those involved.       The purpose of this site is to share information. Thus, if you have any ideas, thoughts or information that you believe others might benefit from, please e-mail your tip to alex@howtohavegoodsex.com and I  will be sure to include it on either our weekly newsletter or here on the actual website.
