How do you put a condom?
If you want the condom to work, you must use it correctly. Luckily, it's very easy. This is what you should know.
How is the condom used?
Unroll the condom on the erect (firm) penis, but BEFORE it touches the mouth or the genital area of your partner ( vulva , vagina , anus , buttocks and upper thighs), and use it all the time you are having sex. This helps protect you against STDs that are transmitted through skin-to-skin contact. It also avoids contact with pre-ejaculation ( pre-ejaculatory fluid), which can have germs that transmit STDs and, in certain cases, may contain sperm that can cause pregnancy.

1. Condoms last a long time, but you should always check the expiration date printed on the package or box. Open the condoms carefully so as not to damage it (do not use your teeth or scissors).
2. Make sure the condom is ready to unroll in the correct way: the edge should be facing outward, so that it looks like a small cap and unwinds easily. You can unroll it a little before placing it to make sure the right side is facing out. If you accidentally put the condom inside out, DO NOT turn it over to use it again; look for a new one
3. Pinch the tip of the condom and place it on the head of the penis. Leave a little space on the tip to deposit the semen. If you are not circumcised, it may be more comfortable to pull the foreskin back before placing the condom on the tip of the penis and sliding it down.
4. Unroll the condom along the penis until it reaches the base.
You can put a few drops of water-based or silicone-based lubricant inside the tip of the condom before putting it on. You can also add more lubricant to the outside of the condom after putting it on the penis. (The water-based or silicone-based lubricant can make sex feel even better and helps prevent condoms from breaking).
5. Have sex!
6. After ejaculating (come), hold the edge of the condom and remove the penis from your partner's body. You must do this BEFORE losing the erection, so that the condom does not loosen too much and let out some semen.
7. Carefully remove the condom away from your partner, so as not to spill semen by accident. Throw the condom in the trash; do not throw it down the toilet (it can clog the pipes).
Condoms can not be reused. Use a new condom every time you have vaginal, oral or anal sex. You should also use a new condom if you switch from one sex class to another (for example, from anal sex to vaginal sex).
Do not worry if you lose your erection (if the penis stops being firm) while using a condom, this is very common. If this happens, you should change the condom. Take off the condom and, once the penis is firm again, put on a new one.
Some tips for using condoms
The key is to take good care of condoms and use them correctly every time you have sex.
Store condoms in a cool, dry place away from sharp objects and direct sunlight. Do not keep them in your pocket, car or bathroom for a long time (more than 1 month), since humidity and excessive heat can damage them.
Always check the expiration date and make sure there are no holes in the package before opening the condom (you should be able to feel a small air bubble when you squeeze the package). If a condom is torn, dry, hard or sticky, throw it away.
As you should use a new condom every time you have sex or a new erection, it is advisable to have supplies. You must have condoms on hand before things heat up, so you can easily grab them without interrupting the action.
Most condoms come pre-lubricated, but adding silicone or water-based lubricant can make condoms feel good and prevent them from breaking. Place a few drops on the head of the penis or inside the tip of the condom before unwinding or spreading lubricant on the outside once you have it on.
Do not use anything that contains oil with latex condoms, such as petroleum jelly, creams, baby oil, butter or cooking oils. The oil damages the latex condom and can cause it to break.
Making the condom fun and exciting is easy; It just takes a little creativity and a positive attitude! For many people, condoms are a natural part of pre-sex games. If your partner puts the condom on you and applies lubricant, they stimulate each other and say sexy things when placing the condom, things stay exciting and safe. In addition, knowing that they protect each other against pregnancy or STDs allows them to relax and focus on feeling good.
Practice makes perfect, so it is advisable to get used to putting on a condom before using one to have real sex. You can practice putting a condom on the penis, a banana, a cucumber or a thin bottle, any penis-shaped object will do! Mastering condom use BEFORE having sex makes it much easier to use correctly when it really matters.
Finally, it is advisable to use another contraceptive method , such as the pill , the ring , the injection , the implant or the IUD , in combination with the condom. It can help prevent pregnancy if you make a mistake or if the condom breaks, and offer greater protection. If you have a mishap with the condom and you do not have another method of contraception, emergency contraception (the morning after pill) can help prevent pregnancy for up to 5 days after having unprotected sex.
