Condom Break?

Another curiosity of mine...

How often have you experienced a condom break?

Could you identify what the cause was? Did the fault likely occur due to an improper use of the condom?

Are there any practices/kinks that are more likely to cause a condom break for you?

The terms used to describe the frequency in the poll can be subjective, but you can consider them as follow:

Very often: Condom break is very likely, to the point where using condoms is almost futile
Regularly: Condom break is infrequent, but happens much more often than you'd like
Rarely: Condom break is unlikely, it happens at times but the use of condoms is generally reliable/safe
Very few times: Condom break only happened on a few rare occasions in your life (0-3 times)

Note: I actually omitted a 'Never' option when creating the poll, but you can choose the 'Very few times' option instead.

For the record, here are the proper guidelines to follow when using a condom:

1- Verify the expiry date of your condom(s)
2- Open the condom wrapper carefully and make sure not to damage the condom in the process
3- Determine the way the condom should be unrolled (do not unroll the condom!)
4- Make sure the penis is fully erect before putting on the condom
5- Pinch the reservoir at the tip of the condom
6- Place the condom over the head of the penis and unroll it completely down the shaft
7- Start over with a new condom if you fail to properly achieve any of the previous steps
8- Use sufficient water-based lube during intercourse, in the case where your partner's vagina isn't lubricated enough
9- Watch for signs of breakage/slippage during intercourse, and put on a new condom if necessary
10- After ejaculation, hold the base of the condom when removing your penis from your partner's vagina

If you fail to observe any of these steps thoroughly, you pretty much qualify as using condoms in a 'careless/inadequate' manner (as described in the poll).

You can also discuss about condom slippage, which is another issue that a lot of people experience with condoms.

Thanks for sharing!

It's never broken but it has come off, more times than I care to remember!

Ah Derek, please avoid quoting my entire OP, it just makes the thread less convenient to read.

Since I created the thread, it's already pretty obvious that you're responding to me, haha.

I had it happen a few times with an old girlfriend years ago. I had been buying the thinner studded ones and afterwards we changed to Trojans that were thicker and able to take the vigorous thrusting.

I've never had a breakage, but I did have one come off once. It was a pretty extended session, and we were both watching for signs of breakage/slippage during intercourse, and changed out a few condoms as necessary. But I'm ashamed to say that as we approached the crescendo, I thought to myself, fuck it, and just threw myself completely into what I was doing, rather than worrying about the condom. Not my finest hour.

But I definitely failed the careless/inadequate test after I came. I didn't hold the base of the condom when removing my penis from her vagina. Partly because there was no base to hold, and partly because I thought it had already come off entirely, and I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible to try and minimise the damage.

She was a little panicked, hoping to dig in after it and at least keep it over the head as I pulled out. But given how difficult she found it to grab hold when I wasn't in her, that was never going to happen. When she did finally retrieve it, most of my cum was thankfully in the condom. She had a very thorough shower afterwards, and was satisfied that everything was okay.

I knew I was clean, so there was no danger for her on that count. But I took myself off to the sexual health clinic in the months to follow to make sure I hadn't caught anything, which I luckily didn't. As for pregnancy, I don't know, I never saw her again. She was pretty switched on, and I imagine/hope she would have taken the necessary precautions. She had my details and could have gotten in touch with me if she needed to, but like I say, I never heard from her.

I suppose there's an outside chance that I could have a thirteen-year-old kid out there somewhere. I think about it sometimes. And if I do, I hope they're both happy. But above all else, it was a sobering lesson on being careful. I have been ever since, even knocking back an invitation to go bareback from a woman a few years later. It's just not worth it. And the procedures I put my wife through when we finally made the decision to say goodbye to condoms...I'm lucky I'm married.
