Can condoms be used when they expire? What other functions do condoms have besides contraception
Generally speaking, young people have a strong sexual desire and do not want to have children after marriage, so using condoms for contraception has a high success rate and is safe. Let's talk about the benefits of wearing condoms.
What are the benefits of wearing condoms?
1. Preventing accidental pregnancy
Condoms are made of thin, high-quality latex and placed on an erect penis before sexual intercourse. During ejaculation, semen is directly discharged into the condom, reducing the probability of sperm and egg meeting, ultimately achieving contraceptive effects.
2. Avoiding adverse reactions
The contraceptive effect of condoms is indeed very good. In addition to not being used by people who are allergic to rubber, they can also be suitable for anyone of any age group, especially for women who are not suitable for medication or contraceptive rings, to avoid adverse reactions
3. Emotions that can increase sexual activity
Using condoms can prolong sexual activity and make it more harmonious. Meanwhile, after wearing a condom, men can delay ejaculation and maintain an erection.
4. Can prevent sexually transmitted diseases
When having sex with a condom, you can directly avoid sexual genital contact between the sexes, thus preventing the spread of gonorrhea, syphilis, condyloma acuminatum, AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.
5. Can reduce the occurrence of cervical cancer
Wearing a condom can prevent male smegma from coming into contact with the cervix, thereby reducing the risk of developing cervical cancer.
What are the hazards of expired condoms?
1. Can easily lead to accidental pregnancy
If a condom expires, the lubricant it contains will be absorbed by the latex, which will start to dry and become brittle, making it prone to rupture. During sexual intercourse, contraception may fail.
2. Easy to infect
Condoms can better prevent sexually transmitted infections. If a condom ruptures, it not only leads to unintended pregnancy, but also can lead to infection.
3. Allergy
The chemical substances contained in condoms may also change after expiration, and the changed substances may increase allergenicity. For example, male glans may feel redness, pain, and itching. If not handled properly, it may cause ulcers, and women may also experience vaginal itching and increased vaginal discharge
4. Influential Experience
After the expiration of the condom, the lubricant decreases, the elasticity of the latex is poor, and sexual activity significantly deteriorates. The rupture of the condom midway affects sexual activity between couples.
Kind reminder
Men should choose condoms that are suitable for their own size based on the length of their penis, and check for expired or ruptured condoms before using them.
