He was hot on one side, cool on the other, and quick-witted in between. Or so I imagined.\n\nAs we got busy, I asked him (rhetorically) if he\u2019d put on a condom. Would I mind if he didn\u2019t, he wondered aloud. I did mind, but I asked him why, just out of curiosity. He gave me the most spectacular answer. He looked me in the eye and said, \u201cI\u2019m just too big.\u201d\n\nI snorted loudly, assuming he was joking, only convinced otherwise when he withdrew with a wounded expression. Did he forget that I could see his average dipstick?\n\nHere\u2019s a lesson you might want to learn in a hurry: Even the nicest guys can reveal themselves in the moment when it comes to negotiations on wearing a condom.\n\nMen always have stupid reasons for not wanting to wear condoms, and they all sound like someone who wants to fly a plane with the doors open because they really enjoy the breeze. But mostly, it\u2019s just the same reason dressed up in as many outfits as Sonam Kapoor in Cannes: It deadens sensation and he can\u2019t feel anything.\n\nThankfully, that\u2019s all about to change. Condom brands like Durex have caught on to the most popular reason men duck the rubber \u2013 reduced pleasure. Now, ultra-thin condoms like Durex Invisible create a sensation of having almost no physical barrier between partners, freeing couples from the choice of choosing between pleasure and safety.\n\n
