How to use the male condom
The male condom is the only non-permanent method of contraception with an efficiency of 95 to 98 percent if used correctly.
Not only does it help prevent pregnancy , too; By avoiding the exchange of secretions and direct contact with your partner's skin, it protects you from sexually transmitted diseases / infections (STDs / STIs).
Using a condom is the practice of safe sex par excellence. Not only is it affordable and sometimes free, since many health centers distribute them, but it also involves planning sexual encounters.

Said planning implies a reduction in the risk of acquiring an STD / STI and an increase in safety to avoid a planned pregnancy.
It is very advisable that in case of any doubt about contraception and STD / STI prevention, consult your doctor. Nothing compares to the face-to-face explanation and the recommendation of a doctor.
It is recommended that it be used to practice oral, vaginal, anal and sex toys. Use it whenever you have a sexual relationship so that you do not have an unwanted pregnancy or get an STD / STI.
As
- Always have at your disposal a condom in good condition, whose expiration date has not expired. This is very important, since a condom that has already expired does not offer the same protection nor does it have the expected effectiveness.
- At the appropriate moment (with the erect penis) open the package with your hands, very carefully. You will not have it with your teeth, scissors or nails. If it is torn or broken, it can allow the passage of sperm or allow the exchange of fluids with your partner and thus increase the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease / infection .
- Take the condom from the tip and with your forefingers and thumb take out the excess air that this part of the condom has. Place the condom on the head of the penis. The correct side is the one that allows you to slide it. If you put lubricant (which is water based) inside the condom, just put a little on the tip to prevent the condom from coming out at an unexpected moment.
- Unroll the condom carefully until it reaches the base of the penis. If the penis does not have circumcision, lower the skin before placing the condom. If you are going to use lubricant this is the time to put it on.
- After ejaculation and with the penis still erect, remove the condom by holding it from the base to avoid spreading the semen. Finally, tie the condom and put it in a trash can. Use a new condom for each sexual act.
Tricks
- For a lot of attention to the expiration dates of your condoms.
- Choose the correct size
- Store them in a cool, dry place that does not get the sun. Never use one that when touched is cold or hot, should be at room temperature.
- If you suspect that the condom broke, moved or any other contingency, stop and use a new one.
- If you use latex condoms, use only water-based lubricants, so as not to damage the condom. Lubricants based on oil or petroleum jelly can damage them. Apply the lubricant generously once you have placed the condom: this will avoid any possible friction.
- You never reuse a condom. Just use one condom at a time and do not use a male condom and a female condom at the same time.
