What Causes Loss Of Erection On Wearing Condom?
When ever I put on a condom, ready to have intercourse with my girlfriend, my penis goes soft pretty well right of the way, same when ever she is giving me oral sex, I go soft in about 5 minutes. She has a mirena and we have unprotected sex because it is a great birth control method and because frankly I can't use condoms we have found out. So can anyone give me pointers as to why my penis goes soft when I put a condom on or when ever she is giving me oral?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I want to inform you that condom has advantages like it prevents you from getting sexually transmitted diseases and prevents pregnancy also, however, it has disadvantages like decrease sexual pleasure. Whenever you wear condom, the friction you get during sexual intercourse reduces and it significantly reduces the pleasure. So once your pleasure reduces, your penis shrinks.
Hope my answer cleared your doubt. Though I will not recommend stop using it, you can try other alternatives to prevent pregnancy after consulting your doctor.
All the best.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Prashant Gohil
