Hi, I am having a problem during intercourse with my wife that I lose my erection while trying to wear condoms. I am 37 year old male.

My partner of 3 years and I use condoms as our birth control, as I don't react well to the pill and have a genetic predisposition to blood-clots, which also prevents me from using IUDs. That being said, we have the issue of condoms coming loose during sex. If I'm on top, or he is on top, it's usually okay, but if we try any other positions, the condom nearly always comes off! Do you have any suggestions?

Some chemists and sexy shops sell flavoured condoms. They are intended for oral sex and are not recommended for penetrative sex. The flavouring can cause stinging and irritation inside your partner. Lube is essential for anal and vaginal sex to minimise friction (which prfevents the condom from breaking) and comfort for both people.

Can normal condoms be used for anal sex? Or should thicker ones be used?

Good question. The basic rule is that any condom is better than no condom. The free ones you get from saunas, gay bars, or from the New Zealand AIDS Foundation are all the stronger variety because anal sex is generally harder on condoms than vaginal sex. Regardless of which condoms you use it is essential to use lots and lots of lube for anal sex. The most important thing is to find a condom that you feel comfortable using and that you have confidence in. Rest assured though, HIV cannot pass through intact latex when it is used with water-based or silicone-based lube for anal sex.
