TMI.. To not want to use condoms?

First, my DP and I are in an exclusive relationship and STDs aren't a problem as we've been checked. We have an active sex life, but some things are starting to irk me.

I'm on the implant, one of the most effective forms of birth control out there. Even though I bleed like a bitch on it, I love the fact that me and DP could have sex without a condom. I really hate them, I feel like they are a physical barrier during a time that I feel is very intimate.
The problem is though, DP doesn't trust anything other than condoms, no matter what I say I can't convince him that my implant is very effective.
He has NEVER had sex without a condom either, with anyone at all, so he doesn't know how it feels without them. He also cannot ejaculate with it on, so every time we have sex, he needs to masterbate to finish off leaving me feeling unsatisfied and rather peeved off.

I'm starting to feel a little bit untrusted, unloved and unwanted due to all of these things. I want to be able to feel him, and him feel me, I want to have that ultimate intimacy and level of closeness.

Yabu- you're being a sensitive moo over this, shut up and get over it.
Yanbu- he is being wayyyy over paranoid.

Help!

It’s personal preference. I assume you do this as well? Good for you.?

Assume I do what? I think any man who doesn't want to be a father should wear a condom. The number of posts on MN about contraception failing they would be foolish not to.

As someone (female) who will not have sex without a condom, I still find this odd. I also wonder whether you are using a method of contraception to suit you, given the problems it is causing you physically.

Going beyond that, if he has not had penetrative sex without a condom, how does he know that it is the condom preventing ejaculation. Finally your own orgasm is equalky important to succeed with quality sex.

@Bonehilda I have just read your update. I am sorry that this is how it turned out. It's hard loving someone who doesn't loving you back. I suspect he reacted this way as he's trying to cover up what ever the issues are that he's dealing with. Luckily, his issues are no longer your problem. I'm so glad you got out when you did and you don't waste any more precious time. Be kind to yourself and never settle for less than you deserve.

@inthelounge Haven't you ever looked into vasectomy? Far more reliable than condoms, cheaper over time, etc.

Also 10% have some nasty complications and if that's you it isn't nice

Two people i know have had them and yep, they had quite some complications so for some not the right answer:(
