Safe sex is the most exciting way to enjoy intimacy
with your lover, so there should be no reason for you to hesitate
when whipping out a condom from your pocket as you get on a ride
with your partner. However, there’s more to note about practicing
safe sex that simply using any condom. Improper use of condoms can
cause accidents like breakages and leaks decreasing your
protection. To boost your confidence when practising safe sex,
here is a list of tips on the safest ways to use condoms.
Safety Tips For Safe Sex
1. Check Condoms before use
You should
develop the habit of checking the condom before use. Sometimes due
to improper storage and other reasons, the condom is already
broken before you use it. Some condoms may have extremely small
and almost invisible holes and this can weaken the effectiveness
of your contraception. This is why we recommend you use Durex
because it has very low break rate.
2. Don’t a Condom
that Does Not Fit
Another major safety tip to consider
in choosing a condom that is fitting to your size. Wearing a
condom that is too small or too big increases the chances of your
condom breaking or slipping off while in use.
3.
Insert After Penile Erection
Condoms should be put on
after penile erection and before you begin intercourse. After
ejaculation, you should place a hand around the rim of the condom
as you make withdrawal. Also it is important to do so before the
penis relaxes, this is to prevent any out-flow.
4. Do
not buy or Use an Expired Condom
Make sure the condom
you buy is not expired.
5. Keep Away From Sharp
Objects On Your Partner’s Body
You female partner’s
long fingernails or the ring on their fingers can cause your
contraception to fail. This is because they might accidentally
tear the condom while you both are lost in lovemaking.
6. Stop Immediately You Know Your Condom is Broken
If you find that your condom is broken when you are
having sex, you must stop the sexual activity and withdraw
immediately. Failure to do this leaves you unprotected and unsafe.
You can also take after-sex remedial measures to ensure
contraception.
