Hey all--
First off, thank you all so much for such a rapid response. This makes me feel much better about me sharing this in the eccie community.
We were using Magnum Extacy's. He normally buys Magnum XL which I guess are a little larger, but I was still using a large condom so sorry I didn't make that clear earlier.
Also, because of his size, it's very hard to roll it on. He and I discussed this afterward and we both have had to actually use our fingers to pull it open wider and then pull it down with our fingers. I did it this time, and I knew there was an air pocket in there but there was still non-air room in there. It could be just dumb luck, or it could be the air bubble contributed. That's why I don't know if it split during sex or while he was climaxing.
Now, I want to believe him and likely will because he brought it to my attention when he looked down and was like, "shit." Also, when I asked him if it felt different he just said it felt good but he didn't know it had broken. He's been in the hobby for almost a year, I think and I don't know when the last time he had unprotected sex before that with his now ex-wife. Since he said he's never experienced a broken condom, it could very well be that he'd recognize one now but wouldn't have otherwise. He is pretty considerate and all in all a stellar client. I will likely trust him, but still-- I hate the idea that I'm just being naive and all too trusting. I'll process it all and figure it out later. We did talk quite a bit about STDs and pregnancy and my plan for planned b, and if it felt different, and if he had been particularly virile with his wife (they'd had two children but it sounded like they'd had to try a lot and that was years and years ago so sperm-wise, probably low.)
He did say that I was handling this a lot better than he would have thought, and luckily I think that's mainly to an eccie thread I read a couple weeks back about the condom breaking and who'd had it happen to them...so knowing that even though it's rare, it does happen, and it's happened to women here, helped me not lose my shit and keep my light-hearted demeanor going.
As for me, I took the plan b an hour or more ago. I found a pharmacy open, thank goodness. The first place I went to was closed for the holiday and the second place wouldn't pick up so I thought it was the same.
I do want to emphasize, shorty, that I had what I thought was an appropriate condom since it was a Magnum. I just didn't realize I needed not just a selection of regular condoms and large condoms, but extra large.
Or should I just use the Starbucks system and call them Tall, Grande, and Venti?
I had to laugh at your last post, Shorty-- about really low-volume ladies and tightness. I'm already low-volume, but still-- that's why we women do kegals. I do them shopping, in bed, driving my car, pretty much whenever I think about them.
So I think it has more to do with kegals than volume though I could be wrong.
The universe sent me a little hug though in the form of the counter-lady at my favorite Albuquerque eatery giving me two slices of cake to try for a buck each since they were going to be donated at the end of the night anyway. I got pineapple upside down cake, and a bread pudding. I still need more hugs from the universe but I'm feeling a little better now.
Oh, and I am planning on getting on birth control-- I was on Depo for eight years and it was great for the most part. But I've heard a lot of horror stories about going on birth control, even one you'd been on previously to good effect, and suffering from really bad side effects. I chatted with my girlfriend today and she was experiencing that exact same thing, having been on one birth control for seven years as a teen, and she started it up again and she's been sick as a dog for five days.
So it's not irresponsibility...just nervousness.
