Your reason for using condoms?

I initially used condoms for birth control and STD protection. When I moved on to hormonal birth control which resulted in multiple problems it was back to condoms 100%. Now I have an IUD but we are back to condoms as well for "neatness". So...if you use condoms, what for?

Comments are of course welcome! Some of my girlfriends think I am weird for using condoms when not needed for birth control or STD protection.

Honestly, I find the wetness of cum in my panties after PIV sex, somewhat uncomfortable and annoying, condoms are obviously so useful here.
My partner uses condoms during masturbation with his Fleshlight sleeve as the cleanup is easier.

We use condoms and other birth control because we're paranoid

We do the same thing, another layer of protection is never a bad thing to have.

Yeah, that's my reasoning too. I take birth control pills, but a backup never hurts.

I use condoms whenever I strap on a cock like Silky, which is made of porous elastomer, to help keep things as clean as possible

Yup using condoms when sharing toys is a good option!

Male here, don't like them, but it beats the alternative of getting a woman pregnant and/or catching a disease.

Don't really want kids right now and helps prevent spread of disease, not that my fiancee or I have anything.

I'm on birth control pills, so we don't really need condoms. I also don't care about neatness. But my boyfriend feels more comfortable having an extra method of protection that he is able to see and control.

I'm on birth control pills but we still use condoms most of the time. Not really for "neatness;" just for added protection in case the 1% chance of the pill failing happens.

I'm probably the only one who uses them for this reason...but my husband cums way too fast when we don't use condoms. They easily add 10-15 minutes, especially paired with our cock ring and/or numbing spray.

We use condoms for neatness (and with pretty much all our toys).

I just went off my birth control, so using condoms is an absolute necessity. However, beforehand, I used them just for STD protection.

When I was on the pill it was mostly about neatness. Now that I'm no longer on the pill, it's a combination of neatness and birth control.

My main reason for using condoms is for Std's and Aid's. I am not trying to catch anything. There are to many diseases out there.

Somehow though I managed to get guys that prefer the pull-out method.

I used it before, but then I stopped using it. It slip easily. Also my wife doesn't like it. So for birth control, I just used to ejaculate externally.

Before I got into a relationship with my fiance and knew he was good I used condoms but now I just use the pill. I don't like the feel of them.

Ours too. I'm not a big fan of remembering to take a pill at the same time everyday, but I can certainly remember the condom

I'm not on the pill but I use condoms as birth prevention most of the time. Sometimes I slip though.
