Whether using condoms during sexual intercourse is good or bad
The advantages of using condoms during sexual intercourse
1. Auxiliary treatment for male dysfunction: The use of condoms for premature ejaculation can help reduce local excitability of the glans and prolong sexual intercourse.
2. Anti sperm antibodies are present in infertile women who treat immune infertility. After sexual intercourse, sperm enter the cervical mucus, where antibodies cause sperm to condense or immobilize, preventing them from entering the uterine cavity and causing infertility.
If a condom is used for 3-6 months, contact with semen can be temporarily cut off. After the anti sperm antibody titers in the female body decrease, and the condom stops, pregnancy can occur in the short term.
The drawbacks of using condoms during sexual intercourse
1. Improper use may result in condom rupture during sexual intercourse or leaving the condom in the vagina at the end of sexual intercourse, causing semen to flow into the vagina, resulting in contraceptive failure.
2. The traditional condom material is natural rubber, which has natural cracks and a diameter of approximately 5000 to 70000 nanometers, making it easy for most pathogenic bacteria to pass through. For example, HIV is 120 nm in diameter and herpes virus is about 180 nm in diameter.
The 8 most common misconceptions about using condoms
Myth 1: Unfold the condom before use.
The vast majority of condoms are circular in shape and slowly unfold over the erect penis when used. However, there are also people who use condoms with their hands, resulting in excessive wrinkles, making it difficult to wear and easy to slip off.
Myth 2: Wearing condoms too late or too early.
Nearly half of people believe that it is safe for the penis not to enter the vagina. They first come into contact with their partner's sexual organs, and using condoms before engaging in substantive behavior or attempting ejaculation is dangerous. Some people have already worn condoms, but without sexual intercourse, it can make the surface of the condom dry and difficult to enter the vagina. The best time is for both parties to caress, increase excitement, and start wearing before sexual organ contact.
Myth 3: The air at the front of the condom has not been emptied.
The storage of seminal vesicles at the top of the condom retains air. If it is not discharged before the condom, the condom is prone to rupture, and the space for storing seminal vesicles may also be insufficient. The correct approach is to gently pinch the condom with your fingers before extending it to remove any air inside.
