Guys saying condoms are uncomfortable don't know how to properly put them on, and/or use the incorrect size for their dick.
I've tried several brands and sizes and the right condom makes a big difference.
This was me for a good three years. Standard condoms were always uncomfortable, to the point of pain, but not once did I consider going larger, thanks to my first girlfriend (our breakup was... less than ideal thanks to her cheating, and she then went on to tell me, and most of our friends, that my size was entirely inadequate, borderline micropenis, which I took to heart for quite a while).
It took the aforementioned three years and quite a few one-night stands telling me I'm big to even start thinking "hey maybe I need larger condoms".
Guys, don't be like me, if it's uncomfortable, go check out the many brands that do specifically sized nominal widths for condoms. Each will have a guide on successfully measuring yourself, or offer a sample kit which you can try for the right fit. Don't ruin your sex life with shitty condom choices.
I always bought regular size but then I sent my gf to buy and she took the larger ones. Not that we have sex like ever but when we do, there is a big difference now. Doesn't hurt and I don't get off in 2 seconds ๐

It's not always simple, if Durex XXL and Magnum XL sit tight, check out the Condomeria in Amsterdam, they have a "numbers" line, like 64 for example and they ship worldwide!
Life saver.

Am I the only person who is more deathly afraid of a life long STD that could fucking kill me than an unplanned pregnancy?
I dont care which one of us got the snip, unless I'm sure I'm the only dude you're banging I'm bagging the fuck up until I see some test results which I'll be happy to get and provide in kind.
Get the 3 HPV vaccines, the 3 Hep A/B vaccines, and start truvada (or the dirt cheap generic brands).
And learn about the signs of syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. And just get anti-biotics if you catch them.
And learn to watch out for Herpes sores in a partner. (Not deadly but obviously you don't want Herpes)
EDIT: Oh and get regular testing obviously. Asking your partners to do the same on the regular is a lot easier if you're doing so.
There, you've mitigated like 99% of the threat. You could be an absolute horndog or slut rawdogging all the time and you're more likely to die in a car accident than because of an STI in the US at least.

I really can't think of an STI that would kill you these days. Am I missing one?
Yay condoms!
In a first world country with access to excellent medical care, no underlying conditions in an otherwise healthy person you're probably going to be fine.
Thats not to say it might not be a significant contributor to what does get you.

I'd assume because many people in these discussions are married... in which case yeah getting an STD would be the booger on top of the shit sundae. But yeah the test results only have to be checked overall at the start of the long term relationship... at least assuming you can trust your partner... while pregnancy is something you've got to be alert to in the entirety of a relationship.

If hormonal birth control existed for AMAB people I am sure some of us would use it. I would even be willing to try it if I actually had sex regularly. On the other hand female condoms and diaphragms exist yet I rarely hear about them being used.

but a vacectomy is only once
You should probably go back because there are usually two tubes to cut. (/s)

We both like actually touching each-other instead of latex
Heathen! This is the only way to be safe:
If your birth control really does even some of those things then you should stop using it and seek one of the many alternatives available to you
