On an unrelated note, if you want to work on your self-esteem, seeking a fwb doesn't usually help. If you are truly interested in a fwb relationship, you need to be mentally strong enough to simply not care... if you do, then fwb is not for you. I recommend staying away from guys for a while and work on your own issues for a while.
Agree with everything this person has said. This is not how to deal with your low-self esteem, and you are only making it worse. And you do not know if he carried any diseases or not. Consider yourself lucky.

Go get tested together and, assuming you both come up negative, proceed without a condom. Have him pull out if you want an additional layer of protection against being knocked up.

I won't say condoms ruin sex completely, but they're like settling into the driver's seat of a Corvette for the first time and then seeing that it's an automatic. It ratchets the excitement down several notches.

But you're still driving a Corvette.

Sure, and sex with a condom is still sex. But neither experience is as good as it has the potential to be.

Would it still be that much trouble if you haven't had sex in 6 months as he had claimed?

Does not work since the seed row boat has sailed long before the actual ship.

The additional layer of protection that is guaranteed is to not have sex, next is birth control pills along with condoms and hope that they both work properly all the time.

The place we met at was a compromise...mid way between both of us.

But that doesn't matter because we had already planned it the day before. So he knew what was going down, as we had discussed it. He left from his house to meet up with me. And there are several drug stores within 7 blocks of where we were. We live in one of the biggest cities in the US, and we were staying downtown.

You did the right thing. There are way too many diseases out here in the world today.
