"What is the Correct Way to Use a Condom?"

Correct Usage of Condoms

Condoms are commonly used during sexual intercourse, yet many people are unclear about their proper usage. Condoms play a dual role in preventing both pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, making them extremely important. Improper or incorrect use can lead to unintended pregnancies or sexually transmitted infections, which is unacceptable. Let's delve into the correct way to use condoms together.

1.

Select a Suitable Condom

Choose a condom that fits you properly, neither too large nor too small. Open the package and blow air into the condom to check for leaks. If it leaks, it's damaged and should not be used. After inspection, return the condom to its original state within the packaging.

2.

Prepare and Apply the Condom

Squeeze out any air from the reservoir tip before putting on the condom. Ensure you're applying it correctly – do not put it on inside out, as it will not fit. Roll the condom down the erect penis until it cannot be pushed further. Ensure the reservoir tip is not stretched too tightly as this can affect ejaculation and sexual pleasure.

3.

Apply Lubricant (Optional)

To reduce friction, apply a small amount of lubricant to the condom. Avoid using too much as excess lubricant can cause the condom to slip off.

4.

Prompt Removal After Ejaculation

Immediately after ejaculation, withdraw the penis from the vagina. Do not wait for the penis to soften, as this may cause the condom to slip off inside the vagina, resulting in failed contraception.

5.

Check for Breakage and Dispose

After removal, inspect the condom for tears or breakage. If there's any damage, take immediate emergency contraceptive measures. Properly dispose of the used condom.

By understanding and following these steps, you can ensure the correct usage of condoms, avoiding potential consequences of incorrect usage. Always pay attention, especially when putting on the condom before entering the vagina, and check for expiration dates.
