Condoms and the Intact Man

Design
Until recently, condom design took no notice of the fact that the normal penis has a moving part. They were - and many still are - designed as if a penis were the shape of a broom-handle. Shaped condoms such as Durex Conture are an improvement, but still only take into account the flare of the glans. Now Ansell has designed a condom that seems to be intended to allow for the movement of the foreskin, the Easy-fit.

All Ansell regular condoms are Easy-fit.

Use
The New Zealand AIDS Foundation gives away sample condoms with instructions that include:

SQUEEZE & Roll

P L A C E T H E condom on the head of your hard cock and squeeze any air out of the tip.

I F Y O U are circumcised (cut), roll the condom all the way down to the base of your cock.

I F Y O U have a short or medium length foreskin, pull it back before rolling the condom on.

I F Y O U have a long foreskin (and the skin covers most of your cock-head when you're hard) you need to leave your foreskin forward, or the condom could slide off when your foreskin slides back into place.

(Men born in New Zealand after about 1970 are more likely to be intact than circumcised.)

A drop of lubricant on the tip of the glans before unrolling the condom, and leaving plenty of overhang, enable the foreskin to move normally in intercourse.
