NIH Spends $400K To Figure Out Why Men Don't Like Condoms
The National Institutes of Health has given $423,500 to researchers at Indiana University's Kinsey Institute to figure out why men don't like to wear condoms. The institute will also study why men have trouble using condoms and investigate "penile erection and sensitivity during condom application." "The project aims to understand the relationship between condom application and loss of erections and decreased sensation, including the role of condom skills and performance anxiety, and to find new ways to improve condom use among those who experience such problems," reads the abstract from Drs. Erick Janssen and Stephanie Sanders, both of the Kinsey Institute.
It's because all men secretly want to pay child support.
This man already knows the answer. (It's only 1 minute 22 seconds, so watch it)

Because it feels like picking your nose while wearing a latex glove....?
I will take that $400k now, thanks.
I for one will volunteer heartily for this *ahem* study.
Hold up, wait a minute, let me put some pimpin in it
I could have answered that question for half of what they paid.
Most of the stuff on
it can make your dick go limp
its the same as being in a sexually arousing situation and suddenly being asked to fill out form 1040A and pay your taxes right now
(with apologies to all of the IRS fetishists)
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
Stimulus....package
Too easy. (not hard?)
STOP NOW!

Yeh there nothing like a stable relationship to
stop you from having sex.
Oh wait you meant using a condom.
Condoms are the biggest con around. You have to buy them in a three pack, you use one to test for fit, then you notice they have a use-by date only four years away!!
They whose government reduces their essential liberties for temporary security, receive neither liberty nor security.
"Come on baby, it's for science!"
You said "thrust"
Two reasons: 1. I'm too drunk to know better 2. I'm usually by myself
I think guys are biologically programmed to want to cum as deep inside a girl as possible. (at least I am) It feels so much better and more fulfilling. Whenever I clear the pipes inside the condom (at least when the reservoir is small) it's always disappointing. I can feel it hit that latex barrier. Even with pulling out, you've always gotta go somewhere. The second best place is the mouth of course...
My girlfriend says that she finds it hott when I cum inside her.
Granted, condoms are definitely worth it for the risk-reducing factor. The new Durex Avanti synthetic latex are pretty nice. Reservoir stretches out pretty nicely. Also the natural-lamb but they are hella expensive and don't prevent stds...
$423,500? They must be joking. They'll never get any firm results unless they come up with some hard, pulsating cash.

The cause of and solution to all of life's problems... alcohol!
Smell - Keep drinking
Spontaneity - If you and her are sufficiently boosed, no biggy... hell even feel free to miss the hole a couple of times.
Sensitivity - If shes boosed, means you can pound harder.
Can't find one? - Douche her with it later (really sorry about this one)
Disgusting to take off and dispose of? - Drink more and then you'll be playing the awesome game of seeing how many you can get to stick to the hotel ceiling!
Stds - Either drench if it 95% straight afterwards and if that didn't work start drinking to forget about the AIDS.
Then for later on in life or after the mistake:
Children - Drink more it'll numb the pain.

"I'm going to f***ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to f***ing kill Google"
No man would rather wear a condom if people didn't have pregnancies and STDs to worry about.
Cpt. Obvious, is that you?
Men hate condoms because it's like cutting to comercials right before the end of a good movie. You're really into the story, you really want to find out who's the killer and then Bam! five minute break. Might as well go get a sandwich or something.
Can you really call it "making love" if you have to put on plastic gloves like a freakin' subway sandwich artist? Really intimate...
Great thanks for that mental image... now I can't eat my lunch.
"I'm going to f***ing bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to f***ing kill Google"
I discovered that housepaint is made from latex. Condoms are made from latex.
Now I keep a can of Sears Weather-beater next to my bed.

Erick: Hey Steph, I'll give you $100,000.00 if you sleep with me a few times.
Stephanie: How many times is a few?
Erick: Until we reach statistical significance.
Steph: Cash?
Erick: Sure.
Two weeks later, Erick pockets the other 300 Grand.

Please tell me where I can meet some hookers who only charge $20 an hour. That will be the best two bucks I ever spend!

Exactly, that's why I would rather not have sex if my alternative was a condom because its not worth it
Woah, woah, woah... let's not get crazy!
If a condom could be constructed that didn't impede feeling at all, there would be huge benefits, a great reduction in unwanted pregnancies.
Condoms made in the USA are notoriously bad quality. They sell "ultra-thin" brands overseas that are quality-checked for small holes via lasers.
For a more intense sensation, you might prefer Iron Maiden brand.
I'm sure you've seen the advertisements: "Iron Maiden, for the really bad boy."
That's anecdotal, there is no scientific method in that statement. You can't trust pure sensation when science is involved.
PS correlation isn't causation.
"In the absence of the ability to establish the attribute of truth they tried to establish the noble attributes."
They smell bad, they distract from the spontenaity of the moment, they decrease sensitivity, they're never handy at the moment you want them, they're disgusting to take off, they're awkward to dispose of.
That's no way to talk about women. Maybe that's your problem.
Confucius say, "if it floats, flies or fucks, it's cheaper to rent."
We don't have a state-run media we have a media-run state.
The "obvious" answer that everybody is mentioning is that condoms reduce sensitivity. However, it is a fact that some men use condoms consistently, some men use them some times and not others, and some men avoid them whenever possible. "It feels like a garden hose" is a vague and general statement about condoms that offers little useful information about the nature of those differences. Something else must be going on.
I will tell you exactly what that something else is. It's all in the head (figuratively, the big one).
Most people, including men, want what they can't have. They want girl A when they're with girl B and vis versa. They think of a blowjob while they're having sex and sex while they're receiving a blowjob. They want to have a steady girlfriend who performs great in bed, but they get turned on by the thought of cheating on her. What you can't have is exactly what you want..
You can't have condomless sex, so it becomes more desirable. Start having condomless sex, and you want to have sex with a condom.
Of course most men don't really have a problem getting off no matter what, so this is mostly moot.
Buckle your ROFL belt, we're in for some LOLs.
For men with smaller or chopped foreskins, condoms interfere with sexual pleasure and frankly, when I'm in bed with a beautiful naked girl, the last thing I need is for a cock sock. Pretty naked girl overrides sanity, to the point where if the condom gets in the way, the logical answer is to rip it off and go without.
Slashdot, news for nerds. Now bringing you, sex for geeks.
Condoms prevent facials - nuff said
They BOTH had bags over their heads...
I have something in common with Stephen Hawking...
Is she a full 10 barbie doll? nope. She's a 6.8-7 but I'm far happier than my friends with the high maintenance arm candy they rarely get to touch.
Try telling your wife she's not as hot as your friends' wives, and then see how often you get sex.
Try having some "private time" when, at any second, a little one could come running in.
You might want to carefully inspect your bathroom door for an example of a technological solution to this problem. Further, you might be surprised that these "locking door knobs" are actually both inexpensive and widely available.
Have you considered purchasing one?
Pour two glasses of warm water. In the first glass stick your finger in, notice your finger now feels warm and wet. In the second glass place your finger in again, this time covered with a plastic bag, you will notice it feels similar, warm but not wet. That will be $423,500 please.
Yep, completely forgot I was doing it, went outside and caught a bus. Wasn't until I got arrested that I realised.
Getting your partner tested for STDs before having sex with them
Yeah I remember the last time I was at the local bar and clinic. They have them combined here now, ya know... It's just so simple to bone the chick down the rail cause I saw she has the yellow card with today's date... No worries that she might be as sick as I am and all ready have boned a few folks today... Totally logical.
I don't care what you think about my sex life. You roll the dice, you take your licks. Everyone knows that. Just say no. The rest of us will keep on dreaming and living our lives while you try to assault us with this silly logic.

Aside from the finding that circumcising heterosexual men reduces the risk of HIV
In another study (sorry can't find the link) they found that if you remove the entire penis, then risks of HIV infection drop even more dramatically!
I say, let's emasculate babies at birth!
You just got troll'd!
So, you're promoting childbirth to reduce starvation? Interesting.
Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fuck, he'll eat for a lifetime.
It's a modest proposal.
True confidence comes not from realising you are as good as your peers, but that your peers are as bad as you are.
You need more practice, simple as that.
Assorted stuff I do sometimes: Lemuria.org
Socks are much harder to clean.
Financial crisis or not, cleaning your condoms to presumably re-use them is plain nasty.
