How common is it for condoms to break?

[pantywetter]

I’m the same.  Punting for decades and had just the one break.

Once with an Inuit WG in Quebec.
It was -40° but still did it outside.
When I shoved it up, the condom shattered into a thousand pieces and drifted onto the ground like glitter.
Ahh look, it's lovely,  I said.
Fuck off, said she.

I have used thousands over 45 years - 5 female partners, 2 ex wives who I recon I used rubbers for contraception 25% of the time and more than 200 escort visits.
So far, one broken (with a prozzie who put it on using the strech'n'snap (like a sock) technique).
So I think about one in 5,000 in my experience.
There must be a couple of rubber trees with my name on them ................ thinking about it, that is a lot of spunk too.

I Have had only one burst
And One come off - but that was from very vigorous shagging over about a 50min session
But several split/tear when the Wg tries to put on.
Main issue is not having the correct size, too small they split when going on

Never had one break, but had one come off during a vigorous sweaty cowgirl session.  I hadn't yet cum at the point we realised, so she just went off to the bathroom to fish it out.. Got checked anyway and postponed punting for a few weeks until I got results back.

One breakage in 13 years of fairly frequent punting. No I’ll effects, nor any child support issues

in the punting world, twice.

IRL I think 4 or 5 times (it was what prompted my first GF to go on the pill)

[CrimsonD]

Punting once and it was in Thailand, my own fault, it was my condom and I had it in my back pocket. I realised I had probably been sitting on it on a bar stool and that has probably weakened it. A lot of tests later and phew I got away with it.

Lots of times not punting, but that's because my girlfriend at the time was crap at putting them on. I was young and did not realise you could get different sizes, I just got them free from the local clinic. They were a bit small, so she was stretching them to get them on and they inevitably broke a few times.

[Marmalade]

In 10 years of punting, averaging 40 a year, I've had one breakage whilst banging away, I knew instantly something wasn't right as it felt different. She was fairly wet so not sure why it had failed. She was fairly cool about it and said it had happened once before. So pretty rare I guess.

Ditto. Simple physics says if it’s too tight for instance then it stretched in such a way as to make it more vulnerable to things like fingernails or tearing. Better to take your own IMO that way you know they fit.

Before I joined ukpunting I always looked for FS, however on my last 2 FS meets the condom broke, I felt gutted for the ladies and myself. Obviously got tested etc, but now prefer FBSM which suits me as an older man

In my experience, condoms only break once !
