Breaking the hymen? lose your erection when you put the condom?

So, me and my boyfriend have been together a year ago. I'm 18 years old, and he is 19 this year. but there is a problem. Actually, it's more than a problem.
Okay, let's start ... as is normal for two people of this age, we've often feel desire for doing sex. We've tried to have sex, but I always feel a lot of pain, because I'm virgin and I have the hymen (septate hymen, in my case). He tried with fingers, but I just can not stand the pain and not worth the effort because the hymen always ends the same, and it really hurts. He has told me to try it myself while I masturbate, but I'm afraid and I don't think I can do it by myself. For me it was easier if he were to do. I already have masturbated many times but never put my fingers or objects inside.
Also, I'm really worried because I have read some things about women that even after the first time, still keep feeling pain in sexual relations (because hymen not always break up, sometimes it just widens, and only break up when a woman gives birth). ._.
And I don't want that to happen to me. I also wanted to avoid going to a specialist, because that would be embarrassing and also because it would involve me having to tell my mother, wich is not very comfortable.
I really wanted the hymen just disappear in a sexual relationship, as is normal and happens to most of girls, but the problem is that the times that we tried to have sex, he was excited at the beginning, but when it was the time to put the condom, he's not so excited. And It happens all the time when we put a condom. I've read a few things, and I told him to try to masturbate with a condom a few times, to get used to the feeling. And he tried, but he told me that condoms are very unconfortable.
So is not that this is a big problem, actually I could live like this because we do everything, we just don't do penetration. But I wanted to give him the pleasure. And of course, I want at least to know how it feels like, and I don't want to have like 30 or 40 years old and don't know what sex is. xD
So my questions are:
1 - is it normal it is normal to lose your erection when you put the condom? this has happened to you guys? what did you do?
2 - is it normal have so much pain breaking the hymen? There are girls that break it accidently playing in children, I'm really jealous ._. if you can comment and give opinions or share stories, I would appreciate. Thank you :)
ps: sorry if my english is not the most correct, this is not my first language.

    You need to see a doctor about your hymen.
    Tell your mother you would like to use tampons and there is a problem.

    • That's a good idea! and is no lie at all xD

      Yeah, I think I have to do it and see a doctor. No matter how embarrassing it is, I realized that's the best thing to do, so.. Thanks :)

    You really don't have to have sex and actually can wait as there's no real age limit. If you're really uncomfortable with it, you should just wait until you're older and independent so you can drive yourself or walk to a specialist that can help assist you with this. I know that some people need it to be cut by a medical professional as there's no other way to do it without inflicting lots of pain.

    I would personally just wait and do other things, it'll help you bond more emotionally/mentally and you can still touch each other of course. You're still very young anyway and there's no race to have sex.

    • Thanks! Yeah, I know I don't have to rush. I was just worried because, by keeping this way, I thought I would never get sex in my entire life.
      But now I am more enlightened on this subject. I think I'll talk with my mother and see a doctor despite how much embarrassing it is. Like you said, I realized that there's no other way to do it without inflicting lots of pain. :)

    I had two girlfriends before who had a similar problem. It took a LONG time to get through it. Their first languages were not English either.

    The reason it is causing you so much pain is because you think it will cause you pain. You are clinching up, and that is the cause of the pain, not actually your hymen.

    The guy is falling flat only because you are having trouble, which comes back to cause him trouble. It is also much more difficult to impossible for the first time if he is not really hard.

    Here is what you do, get some lubrication (like KY). Next, find a day when you can't get pregnant (use the calendar). A condom is just going to mess things up for both of you. Then you play. You lay down and relax. Do some kissing or whatever. Have him go down there and touch the opening of your vagina with his finger. What happens? You clinched. Have him try again, but use your mind to prevent the clinching. Once you he can touch you and you stay relaxed, go to the next step. Either use a smooth dildo or his penis, cover it with lubrication, then stick it in quickly. He may have to physically hold you and force into you (you have consented to this obviously) Your thoughts need to be on not clinching. But you will. Have him hold it there until you can relax. It may hurt like heck, but the pain will subside as you relax.

    Next time will be easier.

    Tell him to get Trojan thintensity condoms, they they're the next best thing to not using one and should get rid of his issue. As for yours, if you can't let him just do the deed, the tampon excuse to see a doctor is good advice

    Like everyone else is saying, you should just tell your mother and go to the doctor. The tampon excuse is great BC most girls with your type of hymen can't fit them in.
    Also yeah, not a lot of guys like condoms. Have you guys tried to get thinner ones, or ones with special lubricant? Those may help.

    • Thank you! That's what I will do. I realize that's the best thing to do despite how much embarrassing it can be..
      And yeah, we tried thinner ones, but you know, he always say that isn't the same... but maybe he'll go accustomed.
      Thanks for your time and advices :)

    The hymen remains a part of your body your whole life. The idea that it breaks up or just disappears is an untrue myth. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/you-it/200806/new-york-times-is-wrong-about-the-hymen-they-are-not-alone

    As for condoms, I sometimes lose the erection when I use one too. Finding one of a better size can help, so it fits on more naturally.

    You may need a hymenotomy, a surgical procedure. Then problem solved.

    • Yeah, I googled it and I think you're right. I saw some girls in the same case, and who did that surgery. I'll see a doctor to see what he recommends. If that surgery is th best thing to do, I'll go ahead with that. Thanks a lot! :)

            It's not a big deal. I had anesthesia but was not intubated. It only took a few minutes. Very little pain afterward, just tired for a couple days from anesthesia. They make an X cut in the tissue so it won't grow back together. May have to wear tampons afterward for awhile to prevent scar tissue forming. I didn't though.

            • Okay. Thank god the anesthesia is not intubated.
