Steps on How to Properly Use a Condom

To minimize "accidents" with condom use, what can you do? First, familiarize yourself on how to use the condom. You're less likely to get into trouble if you know the proper way of inserting it. Here are some tips from Health Alert: Carefully open the package so the condom does not tear. Do not unroll the condom before putting it on. If the penis is not circumcised, pull the foreskin back. Squeeze the tip of the condom and put it on the end of the erect penis. Continue squeezing the tip while unrolling the condom until it covers the entire penis. Always put the condom on before entering the partner. After ejaculation, hold the rim of the condom and pull the penis and condom out before the penis gets out. After withdrawal, slide the condom off the penis without spilling the semen. Properly dispose of the condom. Do not re-use. Most condoms are made of latex while a few are fashioned from lab intestine. What's the difference? For those who are allergic to latex or rubber, skin condoms are a better alternative. They are at least 10 times stronger than latex condoms and users claim they have a more "natural" feeling. But these condoms also have certain shortcomings. First, they are not as effective as latex condoms in preventing sexually transmitted diseases. When used properly, latex condoms are about 100 percent effective in protecting both the user and partner from venereal disease, including AIDS.
