You've Got to be Kidding! (F/M humor condom) "What on earth is that?" My current boyfriend is holding out a small package. "Take it. It's a condom." He's a little embarrassed. "What do we need that for? I'm on the pill." He's embarrassed, I think he's being stupid. "Look, you mentioned you wanted to do something different. This is something we've never done before." Now he's exasperated. "That wasn't what I had in mind." What is it with guys? I thought I'd heard everything. But, a guy who thinks sex while using a condom is something different? That's mindless. I tell him so. "No it's not. Look, this is important. I've never yet needed to use a condom but someday I might. If we stay together, do you plan on staying on the pill forever? That's not exactly wise you know. Especially if you someday decide to have kids. You going to stop getting fucked while your body decides to get ready to get pregnant?" Oops. Sometimes he has moments of brilliance. "OK, you've made your point. Now, what's the rest of this brilliant plan of yours?" "Hell if I know. I remember reading somewhere that a condom can be put on as part of foreplay. Makes more sense than 'whoa, don't put that in there until I have a chance to cover it.' " He's still holding out the package. Gingerly, I take it. Weird. How come I'm embarrassed to be holding it? He was the one who asked if I was on the pill or if he would have to take precautions during sex. Now he's showing me that his concern was real. He's thought about this more than I have. Damn, the fine print is just that. I can barely make it out. Yeah yeah... I know. This isn't guaranteed to be infallible or do anything other than make the money for the maker. Oh, wait. There's some instructions here. 'Place on penis before intromission occurs.' I stare at it. I hold it up so he can read it. I'm gratified when I see him blink in surprise. "Helpful aren't they?" My tone is droll. "Yeah. Helpful." We look at each other. The unspoken question hangs there. 'What next?' I finally shrug and open the package. I pull the condom out. "This is a condom?" All I see is a rubber ring with a film stretched across the center. I study it. I look at it and then at his penis. I look back at the condom. This is silly. I'm an adult. How come I never paid attention to this aspect of adulthood. For that matter... "Well? You're the one this is supposed to fit." I hold it up. "How?" I set it on the tip of his penis and smile slightly. "It's on your penis. If I sit on that, how do I remove it when you lose it inside me? For that matter, how does it stop your semen?" "You really don't know?" He sounds surprised. I can't blame him. I can only shake my head and whisper "No." "OK, I played with one last night. You put it on the tip like that and then unroll it down my penis." He shrugs when I look at him. "I experimented a bit. It will unroll with no problems." "I also jerked off to see how it felt. Odd." He pauses and then rushes on. "It hurt like hell when I rolled it up and got my pubic hair caught in it." "Strange. You are truly strange." I can't help my grin. "OK, let me see if I can get this right." I settle in and take some time to work him with my mouth. Why not? He did mention foreplay. Eventually, I place the condom on his tip and unroll it. It goes on easily and there is still a ring when I reach the base of his penis. When I let go, it rides up a a bit but doesn't roll back up. Tentatively, I apply a few strokes. It stays firmly in place. I have visions of it rolling up during sex and being lost inside me. On the other hand, people have been using these for years. I guess I'll have to trust that it will stay where it belongs. "Well?" He's had his eyes closed. From the twitches, I can tell he's enjoyed this so far. So have I. Instead of answering him, I bend over and apply my lips again. There isn't a taste so much as there is a feeling. It's like sucking a dildo. Except this 'dildo' is throbbing in a way no mechanical one can. I can also feel the heat. I shift so I straddle his face in invitation. From here on, everything is as usual. I tease him almost to orgasm and then pause. He sucks on me and sticks his tongue inside me. I shiver into not quite orgasm. Unable to bear it any longer, we shift so he can slide home. He feels smoother but that's about the only difference I can clearly feel. He moves in me for a bit and then I feel his body tense as he orgasms. I haven't orgasmed but that isn't unusual. There are other, more reliable ways for me to orgasm and he knows them. My turn is later. He collapses on top of me and I enjoy his weight as it presses me into the bed. When I feel his penis soften and eventually slide out completely, I remember. "Get off you oaf. I want to make sure that condom is still where it should be. On you and not in me." Finally, I'm able to see his penis. The condom glistens. Even though his penis is now smaller, the condom is still on it. I remember the violence of our sex and have to admit I had my doubts. Maybe using a condom isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'll never tell him but sex with a condom definitely is different. I wonder what variations we can discover?
