Condom Cons and Comebacks• “It doesn’t feel as good.”
– Use lube – inside and out!– Try out different types
• “I don’t want to ruin the moment.”– Keep condoms handy.– Practice – Make it part of foreplay
• “I’m embarrassed to talk about it.”– Role-play or practice mentally– Use non-verbal communication– Be positive: “I want use to both feel safe and
relaxed.” • “My partner will think I’m ‘dirty’ or cheating.”
– Listen and acknowledge feelings– STIs are common & often asymptomatic
