What are the methods of using male condoms?

Many couples may not plan to get pregnant for various reasons, so they use condoms to prevent pregnancy during sex. In fact, condoms, also known as contraceptives, are the most common and least harmful contraceptive measures. So do you know the correct way to use condoms? How can you avoid condoms to ensure successful contraception? Let me tell you.

The correct way to use male condoms

According to statistics, if condoms are used correctly, the failure rate is only 1.5-4.2%. However, in actual use, the failure rate is as high as 10-15%. The main reason is that people fail to pay attention to some minor details when using condoms, which leads to contraceptive failure.

1. Carefully tear open the edge of the inner packaging of the condom to avoid tearing the condom. Avoid using sharp tools such as scissors to ensure that the condom does not break.

2. Wear a condom when the penis is erect, and remember to wear a condom before the penis is inserted into the other person's body. The secretions produced in the early stage of penis erection may contain semen and bacteria that cause sexually transmitted diseases, which can cause pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

3. The air left in the condom will cause it to rupture. To avoid the possibility of rupture, use your thumb and index finger to gently squeeze out the air in the small bag at the front of the condom. While squeezing the front of the condom, use your other hand to gently stretch the condom to cover the entire penis. Make sure the curled part of the condom is exposed to the outside.

4. Empty the air in the front seminal vesicle before putting on the condom. Then look at the front and back of the condom. Don't hold it upside down, otherwise you won't be able to put it on.

5. Push the folded part towards the erect penis until the condom can no longer be pushed forward.

6. After putting it on, make sure the seminal vesicle is empty. Don't let it be too tight, as it will affect ejaculation and sexual pleasure.

7. Make sure the condom is tightly on the penis during sexual intercourse. If the condom slips off partially, put it back in place immediately. If the condom slips off, pull out the penis immediately and put on a new condom before continuing sexual intercourse.

8. In order to reduce friction, it is best to apply some lubricant on the condom, but don't apply too much, as it will easily fall off.

9. After ejaculation, when the penis is still erect, you should immediately press the bottom of the condom with your hand, and remove the condom after the penis is completely withdrawn to avoid contact between the penis and the condom. Do not wait until the penis softens before removing it, as it is very likely that the condom will fall into the vagina, resulting in contraception failure.

10. After taking out the condom, check whether it is broken. If it is broken, take emergency contraceptive measures.

What should men pay attention to when using condoms?

1. Each condom can only be used once. Wrap the used condom with a tissue and put it in the trash can.

2. Condoms are made of rubber. Some people are particularly allergic to rubber. Even if they are not allergic to rubber, rubber is a foreign substance after all, which will have some impact on the vagina and uterus. People who are allergic to latex should not use condoms. Some people will have allergic reactions after using them. Men will experience local flushing, itching and tingling. In severe cases, rupture and erosion will occur.

3. The lubricant in condoms is also not a natural body fluid, so it is possible that it can cause sex hormone disorder. If the oily substance is not cleaned in time and remains in the vagina for a long time, it will cause changes in the vaginal environment, causing an imbalance in the acid-base balance of the vagina, which can easily lead to the nourishment of bacteria and viruses, causing vaginitis, and thus leading to cervical erosion.

4. Some people think that double-layer condoms are safer, but this is wrong. In fact, the main reason for condom breakage is excessive friction. The most common reasons for condom breakage include: too long or too violent, using oily lubricants, too dry, using sharp objects to open the condom outer packaging, etc.

In addition, the editor reminds everyone that the storage of condoms is also an important issue to ensure the quality of condoms and contraception. Condoms should be stored in a cool and dry place. Overheated and humid environments will cause condoms to break more easily during use. If condoms are not checked before use, the safety of contraception will be reduced.
