- Open the packaging carefully without using the teeth, nails, knives or scissors;
- Hold the tip of the condom and try to unroll a bit to identify the correct side. If the condom does not unwind, turn the tip to the other side;
- Place the condom on the head of the penis, squeezing the tip of the condom to prevent air from entering;
- Unroll the condom to the base of the penis and then, holding the base of the condom, pull the tip slightly to create a space between the penis and the condom;
- Tighten the space created on the tip of the condom to remove all the air;
- After ejaculation, remove the condom with the penis still erect and close the opening with your hand to prevent the sperm from coming out;
- Make a small knot in the center of the condom and throw it away.
- The condom should also be used during the contact of the genital organ with the mouth or anus to prevent these organs from being contaminated with some type of disease.
A new condom should be used for each relationship, since taking advantage of it for another sexual relationship is not safe.

5 most common mistakes when placing the male condom
According to several investigations, the most common errors related to the use of condoms are:
1. Do not observe if there are damages
Although this is one of the most important steps when using the condom, many men forget to look at the package to verify the expiration date and look for possible damage, which can reduce the effectiveness of the condom.
What to do: before opening the condom it is very important to confirm the expiration date and check for holes or tears in the packaging. In addition to this, you should never open the container using your teeth, nails or a knife, for example, as they can puncture the condom.
2. Put on the condom very late
More than half of men put on the condom after initiating penetration, but before ejaculating to avoid pregnancy. However, this practice does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases and, although it reduces the risk, it does not completely prevent a pregnancy because the lubricating fluid released before the sperm can also contain sperm.
What to do: put on the condom before starting any type of penetration and before oral sex.
3. Unroll the condom before placing it
Unrolling the condom completely before placing it makes the process difficult and can generate small damages that increase the risk of catching sexually transmitted diseases.
What to do: the condom should be unrolled in the penis, from the tip to the base, allowing it to be well placed.
4. Do not leave space at the tip of the condom
After placing the condom it is common to forget to leave a free space between the head of the penis and the condom. This increases the chances of the condom breaking, especially after ejaculation, when the sperm comes out and has nowhere to fall.
What to do: after unrolling the condom in the penis, you should hold the condom at the base and pull the tip lightly, to create a deposit. After this, it is important to tighten that deposit to expel the air that may get trapped.
5. Use the condom without lubricant
Lubrication is very important during intimate contact and, therefore, the penis produces a fluid that helps lubricate. However, when using the condom, this fluid can not pass and, if the lubrication of the woman is not enough, the friction between the condom and the vagina can break the condom.
What to do: use lubricant to maintain proper lubrication during intercourse.
Can the condom be reused?
The condom is a contraceptive method that should be discarded so it can not be reused, because it can increase the chances of it breaking and as a result transmit diseases, and even, that a pregnancy occurs.
In addition to this, washing the condom with soap and water is not enough to eliminate fungi, viruses or bacteria that may be present, increasing the chances of transmitting these infectious agents, mainly those responsible for sexually transmitted diseases.
After the use of the condom it is recommended to discard it and, in case you want to have another sexual relationship it is necessary to use another condom.
