No problem. Seriously, though, the condom thing is going to matter sooner or later, so you should get it worked out now. It sounds like right now you have the freedom to play around a little bit with things like lambskin condoms etc (these are a bad idea if you're, well, me) which while not great at STD prevention work fine at preventing pregnancy. Also, experiment with different brands, sizes, textures, lubed and unlubed, add your own lube, etc.

Keep in mind that none of this stuff is standardised across brands. An XL in one brand can be an M in another. Condoms do come in different sizes, it's not just for vanity. I really like Kimonos, they have worked well for me and a lot of people I know. I will have to find out what other brand I've been using lately (I didn't buy them) are called and you can give them a try too. I am unimpressed with Durex, and done with Lifestyles, and I think Trojans are kind of thick, so I can only imagine how they feel to guys.

Shape is important too, as is lubrication. A little inside and a little outside is generally the rule. Apply the inside to the condom, and the outside to yourself.
