How to use a condom?
The condom
The condom is the best way to protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unwanted pregnancy. Condoms are a barrier method of contraception (they prevent the passage of the semen with a barrier) made of a very thin layer of rubber or plastic latex called polyurethane.

When purchasing condoms, make sure they carry the British Standards Institution (BSI) Kitemark, or the European CE symbol as proof of quality ( only in European countries ).
This means that they have been tested for the required safety standards. Also, make sure that the expiration date is clearly visible on the package.
Types of condoms
There are two basic types of condoms available in most countries: condoms to be used by men and the facts to be used by women.
The female condom is sometimes called a Femidom, since Femidom is its brand in the United Kingdom (England).
Correct use of the male condom
During sex, male condoms are used on the penis to prevent semen (sperm) from entering the woman's vagina when the man ejaculates (comes, ends) or to protect against sexually transmitted diseases in sexual relationships whether heterosexuals or homosexuals.
The condom should be worn when the penis is erect (hard) and before it comes in contact with the body of your partner.
To use a male condom correctly, follow these steps:
- Carefully open the package where the condom is wrapped, being careful not to tear the condom when opening the package (open it by the edge preferably).
- Keep the tip of the condom between the index finger and the thumb to make sure it is put in the correct position, and that there is no air trapped inside (the condom can break, there is air trapped inside the tip).
- Place the condom on the tip of the penis, always holding the tip of the condom between the index finger and the thumb.
- Then roll the condom down on the length of the erect (hard) penis, it is important to place it with the penis erect and not flaccid (soft) as it may be misplaced and facilitate its rupture.
- If the condom does not unwind, it is probably the other way around, in this case you should start over with a new condom since there may be sperm in the condom that I try to put upside down.
- Make sure the condom stays in place while you are having sex. If you fall, you must stop and put on a new one to avoid the possibility of an unwanted pregnancy or the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
- After ejaculation (when the man has arrived / finished) and while the penis is still hard, hold the condom in place and carefully remove the penis from the partner's body.
- The condom should only be removed from the penis when there is no more contact with the body of your partner to prevent the semen from coming into contact with the vagina.
- Wrap the used condom in a tissue and put it in the trash. Condoms should never be flushed down the toilet , as they can clog the toilet and can cause harm to the environment.
Lubricants
If you use a lubricant during sexual intercourse, make sure it is water based. Petroleum-based lubricants, such as Vaseline, certain lotions, or baby oil, can damage and weaken latex condoms, increasing the likelihood that they will break.
Remember when using condoms you should only use water based lubricants for safety.
What to do if your condom breaks?
If the condom breaks while you have sex, you should visit your nearest doctor or clinic as soon as possible if there is a risk of pregnancy.
Emergency contraception , such as the emergency pill ( morning after pill ) or the intrauterine device (IUD) can be used to prevent pregnancy.
Emergency contraception is available free of charge in contraceptive clinics in countries where it is freely offered, including by physicians who offer contraceptive services.
