What are condoms and how Condoms can be used?

Good Question to ask yourself before using condoms is what they are actually and how condoms can be used in a right way. A condom is a small bag that keeps sperm inside the pocket and control from getting into female vagina that that works by developing a fence and blocking the route that sperm would take to fertilize an egg. It helps prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections and diseases.

Use of a condom can effectively minimize the risks of sexually transmitted diseases like HIV and AIDS.

There are male and female condoms, and they are made of latex rubber, polyurethane, or lambskin. The male condom is more commonly used. It is also referred to as a “rubber” or “prophylactic.”

How Condoms work effectively?

A condom creates a physical fence that prevents the sperm from reaching to the female egg. The wall makes sure fertilization and pregnancy do not happen. Condoms are mostly from very thin latex rubber or polyurethane, and they contain a lubricant and a spermicide that either ends. To use a condom excellently, it should be placed before the penis touches the female vagina, in other words, before skin-to-skin genital contact take place. This is because sperm can come out of the penis before ejaculation.

The use of condoms can considerably reduce the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and diseases.

Using a condom with another category of contraceptive, such as the contraceptive pill, offers supplementary safeguarding from both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections and diseases.

The condom must be placed properly before sexual contact is made, and wisely removed instantly after sperm ejaculation.
