Small condoms can be used safely for contraception and to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. However, many people have misunderstandings when using condoms, such as poor or ineffective contraception. Therefore, let's take a look at common misconceptions and correct usage methods when using condoms.
8 major misconceptions in using condoms for real contraception: try to avoid them as much as possible
1. The condom used can be reused
Some people have sexual intercourse multiple times with only one condom, and the likelihood of repeated use is high. Doing so is very dangerous. Because condoms are fragile and prone to rupture.
2. Wearing it before male ejaculation can ensure safety
This is a big mistake. Before ejaculation, the fluid flowing out of the penis contains a small amount of sperm, which may make women pregnant. Not wearing a condom can also increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
3. Condoms can reduce male pleasure
This is the most common excuse for men not to use condoms. Many women also believe it is true, and eventually regret it. The latest authoritative research has found that condoms have little impact on men's pleasure.
4. Latex can easily cause allergies
Many people feel uncomfortable after using condoms and first consider latex allergies. In fact, latex allergy is very rare, and some people may only be allergic to the spices or lubricants added to condoms.
5. Condoms should be carried with you at all times
This helps prepare for occasional needs, but most of the time they don't like it. Because condoms need to be properly stored to ensure safety. If stored in a humid and hot environment, it will become thin and brittle, easy to break holes and tear.
6. Any lubricant
Condoms are more comfortable to use in conjunction with lubricants, but using lubricants based on an oily matrix can break down latex and reduce the strength of the condom. You can choose condoms or water-soluble lubricants that have a lubricating effect.
7. Condoms can be kept freely
Condoms also have a shelf life and storage conditions. If placed in an overheated environment, direct sunlight, or in a car, the lifespan of the condom will decrease. So, keep the condom in a dry, dark, and private place.
8. Tearing condom packaging with teeth
Some people may tear the condom packaging with their teeth and find it provocative, but it can easily lead to latex cracking and gaps. In addition, it is also important to avoid using nails or other pointed tools to open condom packaging.
