After you put the condom on, the smell is all over your hands. Sometimes a scented lubricant helps, but this tactic reminds me of the Victorian practice of piling on the perfume in order that your partner doesn't notice you haven't bathed for a week. Don't use this kind of oil for sex. See a related section on lubrication . Another consideration is how the condom feels to the people using it.
Some men find that a condom reduces the stimulation to the penis.
And women often find that condoms cause pain during penetration. Even with lubrication, the vaginal wall must contact latex or lambskin, neither of which compares to live, human skin. Some of these complaints could come from early penetration, not trouble with the condom itself. Allow even longer with a condom, knowing that it may be drier than without. As a final note, it's important to make a clean exit.
