What should I pay attention to when using condoms? What are the misconceptions of using condoms
Many young couples choose condoms for contraception, and the correct use of condoms can achieve a contraceptive rate of 99%. However, incorrect use of condoms can increase the failure rate, and the following misconceptions may arise when using condoms.
What are the misconceptions about using condoms?
1. Open the condom before use
Most condoms are circular in shape, and when the penis is erect, the condom should be slowly unfolded and placed over the penis. Many people unfold condoms before use, as they are wrinkled, difficult to wear, and prone to slipping.
2. Some men believe that as long as the penis does not enter the female vagina, it is safe to wear a condom when ejaculating when in contact with female organs. Some people, on the contrary, wear condoms before sexual intercourse, which are too dry and difficult to enter the female vagina. It is best for both men and women to caress and dress each other.
3. The air from the condom has not been expelled
There is air left at the top of the condom, which can easily rupture if not expelled before wearing it, and there may be insufficient space for storing semen. Gently grip the condom with your hand before each use to expel air.
4. Condoms too tight or too large
In fact, there are also different models of condoms, and using condoms with different models can easily affect the pleasure of sexual life. The function of male penile erection can also rupture or fall off. Before choosing a condom, try to measure the penis as much as possible.
5. Pay attention to the thickness of the condom
Nowadays, some fragrant and ultra-thin condoms are favored by people. In fact, for older and faster ejaculating men, it is recommended to choose thicker ones as much as possible, which is beneficial for controlling ejaculation and prolonging sexual activity. Try not to choose ultra-thin condoms to stimulate function, as fragrant condoms may cause allergies.
6. Can't tear open a condom with your teeth
Some people are accustomed to using scissors or teeth to tear open condoms, which can easily rupture. The condom has gaps and cannot be opened with sharp objects. Try not to overlook the pros and cons of condoms. If not, it will become uncomfortable and fall off when worn.
7. Incorrect use of lubricants
When using condoms, using lubricants can be more comfortable, but oily lubricants can also break down latex, reduce the strength of the condom, and try to choose condoms that contribute to the lubrication effect.
