I’ve always been a hands-on blogger, so when folks kept asking about dealing with larger sizes during intimacy, I rolled up my sleeves to test solutions myself. Started with Amazon ordering extra-large condoms, then hit the drugstore for thick lube bottles. My partner raised eyebrows when I dumped everything on our bed Saturday morning like a science project.
The Actual Tests
First, we tried different positions kneeling on pillows – nope, still too uncomfortable. Then applied lube like painting a wall, but way too slippery. Partner almost fell off the bed laughing when I grabbed measuring tape shouting “wait, let’s record this properly!”
What actually worked:
- Putting firm cushions under hips to adjust angles
- Switching to silicone lube – lasts longer without reapplication
- Starting super slow with fingers before penetration
Major Lightbulb Moment
Wednesday night changed everything. We turned off lights, used headphones playing jazz, and focused on outer stimulation first with hands. No rush whatsoever. Suddenly realized it’s not about “handling size” but removing pressure. When we finally tried penetration, 20 minutes of warm-up made it smoother than our quick tries.
Now I tell friends: throw out stopwatches. Good lube + patience beats any special technique. Our takeaway? If you’re wincing during intimacy – pause, add more lube, start over. Simple fixes work better than fancy theories.
