Also... once a condom has been unrolled, to do this "little test", it is much harder to put on...
And it will probably lose some of it's lubrication... making it harder as well.
So, if a condom is annoying as hell to put on or takes forever, it is less likely the mood will be kept and you want to actually continue having sex OR you will opt out on a condom... Which never is a good option in my opinion.

Okay, so I am in a strange predicament. My parents think I am extremely naive when it comes to anything sexual. Any information that has been mentioned in this thread is familiar to me, I know all the terms, I know what a hymen is, etc. (It isn't all from first hand experience though, because I am only a 13 year old guy, 14 in less than a month, and have not had sex) I know more than the average person in my grade (8th), and most of the girls don't even know what a hymen is anyway. (I didn't go around being stupid and asking, okay? A couple of my stupid friends did).
But anyway... My parents haven't given me the talk, (well not really) and I haven't needed it, I learned it just through living through school, and being on the internet. I have been careful though with the information I have... Come across, because I know very well that the internet is full of lies. But a month or so ago... My mom came over to me and asked "Do you remember when I told you that the only way to keep from getting a girl pregnant is to not have sex?" ...Yes mom. I knew that since I was at least 9.
But with age, my body has matured, and masturbation has begun. I am terrified daily if my parents ever figured out that I masturbate, especially because they are a much more sexually-closed kind of type, and aren't very open about the topic. My family, including myself, is Cristian as well, which also backs my fear as I don't know if my parents would get upset or not about finding this out. It doesn't mention anywhere in the Bible anything about masturbation being wrong, but that is beside the point, as I read to keep this topic away from religion and such.
Anyway... Uhmm. Suggestions/similar issues? This is almost making me feel uncomfortable around my family.
Since you are younger, it isn't surprising your parents are this way.
Heck, many parents still give the "no sex" to people who have already graduate college and bought their own home.
There are ways to discretely masturbate... Shower is on instance.
I personally don't masturbate so I can't give you really any tips...
I'm a female and I am just absolutely disgusted by the female body... I can't even imagine... If I was born male, I would have had to be gay. o.o
But, to each their own really... I just have irrational basis against the female anatomy for some reason is all.
And my mom tried to give me "the talk" or a hint to it twice...
Once was right after the Scary Movie series came out and I watched the first one that had an oral sex scene and she wanted to "discuss" what I saw... I bascially said I know mom and left the room. XP
Second time was in high school when I got a "mature" boyfriend and she wanted to say the whole pregnant stuff again. I kinda just let her talk and ignored her... I was an awful child. ^^'
Anyways, look into ways to discretely masturbate for now... I think if you try to be forward with them about your interest by your description of your parents and your age, they may take it the wrong way.
