I dunno if this is the right place to post this, but basically I might have my first time later this week, so obviously I’m nervous about condom size. This is an area that was not covered by my school and my parents aren’t gonna openly talk about it. I would try the school nurse (because she can now legally give out condoms and stuff) but she’s only in on Monday’s and well that was yesterday. So what do I do, naturally I came to reddit.
I was talking with one of the guys at work and he just handed me 2 regular size durex condoms. So I tried one on, but I don’t know how it’s supposed to fit. Like is it supposed to be tight, or loose but not too loose. I don’t really know. But I don’t want to ruin the moment (if it does come down to that) to try on multiple different sizes. I tried one of those paper wrap around measure tapes supplied by the school but it was sort of close to the line in between two sizes. So I don’t know. Anyway any and all help/ advice would be appreciated.

It should be tight but not painfully so. If you’ve ever looked at a porn and thought you were the same size as one of the actors, you should buy magnum. Otherwise, you should be fine with what you have
You’re overthinking this
You don’t need to overthink this, you do have to do your homework. The r/sex section about having sex for the first time has a link to a condom sizing chart. [https://www.reddit.com/r/sex/wiki/index/#wiki_first_time_having_.27sex.27](https://www.reddit.com/r/sex/wiki/index/#wiki_first_time_having_.27sex.27) You should use this chart to make sure that your wearing condoms that fits well and feels good. This article does a great job to explaining how to use condoms.

If you search YouTube for “how to use a condom”. You’ll find a lot of how to videos about condoms. The first hit is a great video that shows naked men with erect penises, It’s intended audience is men who have sex with men but it’s also a good video with men who have sex with women. You should read this article about using lube to make sure that you know how to use lube. [https://www.scarleteen.com/article/bodies/lube_101_a_slick_little_primer](https://www.scarleteen.com/article/bodies/lube_101_a_slick_little_primer) Then you should test condoms by masturbating when you’re wearing a condom. In other words you can have a posh wank to test condoms.
This is a good article about having sex for the first time. [https://www.scarleteen.com/article/relationships/is_that_all_there_is](https://www.scarleteen.com/article/relationships/is_that_all_there_is)
I would say buy some large condoms just in case. If you’re having sex for the first time and the condom feels too tight, you can try the large ones instead and see if they fit better. You can do all kinds of measurements to try to figure out which condom is right for you, but personally, I think it’s a lot easer + more reliable to just try multiple sizes if you have to.
How’d it fit? Should be snug not baggy. Doesn’t have to super tight.
Buy a few try them on. You will be alright doode!
