    “But I can’t wear a condom! My penis is so huge it feels constricted! You don’t understand!”
    Mate, your dick is not too big for a condom. Stop being an idiot.

      The only thing I remember from health class was the teacher putting her whole arm in a condom.

      Which is shocking given how anti-sexhealth my parents were and the community I grew up in at large. No idea how that teacher had a job but damn, respect.

        I kinda hate that kind of demonstration because arms have bones, dicks do not, so it’s not really a valid one. They’re basically blood balloons and condom size actually does matter to them working. There is such a thing as too small (or too large)

          Seriously, it does way more harm than good giving the impression that condoms are a one-size-fits-all thing. An uneducated guy could buy a box, use the whole package getting soft every time because his dick is getting put in a mild sleeper hold, and come to the conclusion that he can’t have sex with a condom.

          Proper health education for boys and young men should include talking about “finding the condom that works for you.” Women don’t usually do one set of birth control and just go with it forever no matter how shitty it is, they try different things until they find one that works, sucks the least, or find an alternative. They don’t just try a pill, have side effects, and give up on the idea of birth control because some ignorant teacher suggested that all birth control is the same because (makes some inane demonstration).
