Sort out your feelings about using condoms. Choose a time to talk before you find yourself in the midst of passion. Getting things out into the open before you have sex will mean you are both prepared and relaxed. Plan how you will approach the subject. A condom doesn't have to be dry and uncomfortable.
Lubricants can increase pleasure for both men and women.
It breaks the spontaneity to stop and put one on. If the condom is readily accessible, the act of putting one on can be made a part of love-making. I'm too embarrassed to buy them. In retail stores condoms are displayed in the open and you don't have to ask for them. You can choose the style and brand you want without asking for assistance.
