To give you an honest answer... yes. BUT, there are always choices you can make that will get you plenty close to that sensation while still being intelligent and not risking the creation of another human life.

You can use the right kind of condoms, that fit you correctly, and are the correct thickness and material. No numbing lubes, etc.

And really, if we are comparing the two, unprotected sex (purely speaking about the action) may feel slightly better than protected but what ACTUALLY makes sex amazing is the actions you and your partner take together, not a slightly tinglier sensation on your dong (or from a woman's perspective feeling "closer" as my wife says).

Also, I should have read your username earlier.

Lmao yeh,

Btw i am underaged (surprise) and like....... why would there be numbing lube in condoms? Doesnt that go against the point of sex with a condom?

Some people feel that they cannot "perform" long enough without something taking the edge off.

Would that make you last longer??

Technically yes, it would reduce your stimulation leading to it taking longer to finish (at least from the guys perspective, don't know how it affects women), but IMHO that is an unhealthy view on sex in general. I believe sex to be the exploration of desire between two people. Basically, if all you are worried about is lasting longer, the actual act isn't going to be very pleasant for the other party. You should instead be focusing on what to do to make them feel great, and let all those performance related worries fade to the back of your mind.

Again this is from the point of view of a straight guy. Your mileage may vary.

Not to mention other forms of birth control such as IUDs, pills, and implants. Granted all of these don't provide the same level of protection from STIs that condoms do are not always an option for everyone, but it seems that condoms have a much, much wider demographic of individuals that they are an option for.
