A condom does much more than
prevent pregnancies. This article explains why using a condom is a must for a
happy sex life.
A
condom is the most basic and simplest form of birth control that men can use.
It does not harm you in any way, it causes no discomfort to both partners
during sex, and it can be discarded easily.
A
condom helps in preventing unwanted pregnancies, and is effective over 90% of
the time (when you use condoms from leading brands). It also prevents the
spread of sexually transmitted diseases and infections.
A
condom helps keep both partners safe during peno-vaginal sex, peno-anal sex,
and oral sex. Basically, it creates a barrier between the exchange of bodily
fluids. It is a must when you have sex with an unknown partner, or when you
want to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
You
can have sex worry-free when you have a condom on – and this helps you enjoy
the act a lot more.
How to use a condom
First
time users might not know how to use a condom. It is not as tough as
it initially appears to be, but being a little careful helps.
·
Make sure to wear the
condom on an erect penis only.
Take the condom out of
the pack carefully, without tearing it during removal or after contact with
your fingernails.
·
Do not unroll the
condom right away. Hold the rubber ring and place it around the head of your
penis. Now unroll the condom over the entire penis slowly.
·
Press the condom’s teat
to let out excess air. This is the space where the semen collects upon
ejaculation. Not releasing the air might make the condom burst or tear upon
ejaculation.
·
After ejaculation,
remove the penis before it goes flaccid, and only then remove the condom. Once
the penis becomes flaccid, the condom becomes too big for it and there is the
danger of spilling the ejaculate inside the vagina.
·
Wrap the used condom in
a tissue paper and throw it in the trash. Make sure you use a fresh condom to
have sex again.
Don’t
stress over how to use a condom if you’ve never used one before. It gets easier
with practice. Just make sure that you check the condom for tears post-use, and
alert your partner at once if the condom was damaged during sex. They can take
an emergency contraceptive pill or ask their doctor about what to do next.
Spicing up your sex life
There
are vibrators and other toys available for use by women, but did you know that
there are sex toys for men?
The
most common sex toy for men is a penis ring, or
a cock ring. It is placed around the base of the penis to trap blood inside it
when the penis is erect. This helps you sustain your erection for a longer
time, so both you and your partner can go on for longer during sex.
Sex
toys help you spice up your sex life and find new avenues to increase
sensuality and pleasure during sex.
