How to use a condom
How condoms work
Laboratory tests show that latex condoms are effective against sperm and microorganisms. But in practice, whether to prevent sexually transmitted diseases or unwanted pregnancies, much has to do with the correct and consistent use of these. Here are the basic steps, which should start before sexual contact with the penis:

- Start with properly storing the condom - keep away from heat and light. Wallets, pockets, and other compartments expose condoms to temperatures that can cause them to break.
- Look at the package and make sure it is not damaged and that the condom has not passed its expiration date. If it's damaged or expired, drop it and get a new one.
- Open the folio package very carefully. Do not use your nails or teeth.
- Make sure the condom is facing up. If it is upside down, it will not unroll properly.
- If the penis is not circumcised, remove the prepuce carefully to reveal the glans.
- Press the end of the condom so that there is no air in the reservoir, and place it on the tip of the erect penis.
- Carefully unwind the condom down. Be careful not to pull the unrolled portion over the rolled portion - this will make it more difficult to finish unwinding the condom.
- If any additional lubricant is needed, use one with water base.
- After ejaculation, hold the edge of the condom to prevent it from slipping, and remove the penis before you lose your erection.
- Remove the condom carefully, wrap it with a napkin, and throw it away - not in the toilet. Never use a condom again.
Condoms break more often if they are blown, filled with water or unwrapped before use, or if they are used too long or aggressively. If the condom breaks, stop and replace it with a new one. If you discover that the condom is broken after you have ejaculated, talk to a professional doctor about emergency contraceptive methods.
Statistics: Who uses a condom?
How condoms work
According to United Nations estimates, two thirds of the people in the world have easy access to condoms. But how and by whom these condoms are used varies dramatically from country to country based on several factors.
In general, the number of sexually active people using condoms has increased since the 1980s due to the spread of HIV. Although it is difficult to say how the statistics have changed, since many studies before the 80s, especially those that involved women, focused only on married couples. British surveys report that in 1950, about 30% of men and women used a condom during their first sexual intercourse. By the year 1990, that number had more than doubled. Here are some general trends of the United States and Europe:
Housing situation: people who live with their partners typically use condoms less than people who do not live in this condition.
Number of couples: in surveys carried out in Holland, France, Belgium and Brittany, the more couples a person has had, the more he or she uses a condom.
Age: fewer people who have their first sexual intercourse before age 16 use a condom during that experience. In general, older people tend to use it less, partly because they enter into long-term monogamous relationships.
People with latex allergy often choose not to use condoms or use condoms made of natural or polymeric membrane. People who care more about the contraceptive method choose other methods because they are more convenient than condoms, and do not require that sexual activity be interrupted for use, and does not diminish the sensation.
Other types of condoms
How condoms work
Although World Health Organization (WHO) standards describe a colorless and odorless condom in the form of a simple wrap with a reservoir at one end, a number of other condoms are available in the market. This includes models of colors and flavors as well as adorned with everything as faces. Many of these are not recommended as contraceptive methods or to prevent diseases because their thick latex thicknesses can lead to breakage.
Other condom innovations are more for practicality or effectiveness than fun.
