Should I pull my foreskin back when I'm putting a condom on or leave it covering my knob? I tried asking my friends but they said they are circumcised so they don't have this problem
View responses (1)What else should I use beside Lube?
View responses (1)The Sexpert, 26 July 2010
Water-based or silicone-based lubes are safe to use with condoms but oil-based lubes like vaseline will make the condom fall apart. Lube should always be used with a condom.
Ran out of Lube and have been using a mixture of shower gel & cooking oil (masturbating only). This morning, I've noticed my dick head was quite sensitive. Last night I had a great masti-session so ain't sure if its down to that as its never happened before. Should I just stop using oil/shower gel and buy some proper lube? Cheers.

Buying some proper lube is likely to help,yes. The shower gel is likely to have perfumes and chemicals in that won’t be doing your penis any good.

How long do condoms last?
View responses (1)The Sexpert, 26 July 2010
Every condom has an expiry date on the packet and on the wrapper - it’s generally 5 years after manufacture.
When are "Close Fit" smaller size condoms going to be put back on the NZ market? In pandering to the "size queens" of this world, smaller kiwi men are being put at risk from premature slippage.

how do you use lube
View responses (1)The Sexpert, 27 May 2010
Lube is used to make penetrative sex with a condom more pleasurable. Put plenty on the outside of the condom and on the area you’ll be penetrating. It can also be used for foreplay and masturbation (solo or with others).

It depends on how long your foreskin is. If you have a short or medium length foreskin, pull it back before rolling the condom on. If you have a long foreskin (where the skin covers most of your penis head when you are hard) you need to leave the foreskin forward. One way to do this is the “two hand job” : unroll the condom about 1 cm and put two fingers from each hand under each side. Stretch it over the head and part way down the shaft and gently unroll to the base. It’s great that you’re using condoms, and great that you have friends you can have these discussions with.
