9 Mistakes About Using Condoms
2022-06-12
Men have the following misunderstandings in the use of condoms, see if you have been caught
Myth 1. It is safer to use two condoms for contraception
Fact: It's easier to break with two condoms than with one.
There is fluid lubrication between the condom and the skin but not between the condom and the condom. If lubricated, it is easy to slip off, and the friction between condoms without lubricating is more likely to break. So using one at a time is safe, hygienic and environmentally friendly.
Misunderstanding 2. Condoms are inherently fragile
Fact: Buy qualified products to store and use condoms properly
About buying leaky or ruptured condoms may cause unintended pregnancy or even HIV infection. In order to achieve the best preventive effect, it is necessary to check the expiration date and check whether there is a national medical device registration certificate on the package. Avoid buying products with damaged packaging, exposed to strong light or high temperature.
Be careful about using and wearing. When a man ejaculates, air bubbles at the tip of the condom can easily rupture. The correct way to use it is to hold the seminal vesicle at the front of the condom with one hand to ensure that there is no air left in it, while the other hand puts the safety condom on. This ensures that the front end is in a vacuum state and there is ample storage space in the post-ejaculation condom. Be careful with sharp nails and teeth grinding.
If you can't wear it, it is likely to be worn backwards. At this time, the correct operation is to lose it and replace it with a new one. Don't be reluctant to wear it because there may be semen on the reversed condom.
If you find that the condom is broken, do not take chances and should take emergency contraception in time.
Misunderstanding 3. Condoms are enough for contraception
Fact: Condoms protect against unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, but they are not 100% effective even when used correctly.
Factors that affect the effectiveness of condoms include:
Incorrect use, such as wearing it backwards or wearing it too late. Optimal donning time before contact with partner after erection, removing prematurely, or using a wrong size condom
Not every time I don't use it every time because of the occasion or preparation
Mispurchasing defective condoms such as broken packaging or substandard products
Storage error Store in a strong light or high temperature environment
Misuse of expired condoms may lead to loss of contraceptive effect due to product deterioration
Reuse condoms that have already been used.
If you are worried about the above controllable or uncontrollable reasons, it is more appropriate to use another contraceptive method while using a condom. For example, taking contraceptives, placing an intrauterine device commonly known as "putting a ring" or injecting a long-acting contraceptive needle, etc., can choose the appropriate plan according to individual contraceptive needs.
It is worth mentioning that both ejaculation and rhythm calculation are unreliable methods of contraception.
Misunderstanding 4. Wearing a condom requires extra lubrication
Fact: Oil-based lubricants in formulas should not be used with condoms, as oil-based lubricants may damage the condom's material and increase the risk of breakage.
Baby oils, petroleum jelly, hand creams, and lip balms often contain oily ingredients. Professional water-based lubricants are recommended, usually available at pharmacies or supermarkets.
Misunderstanding 5. Wearing a condom will destroy the atmosphere
The truth: condoms don't break the "spring night" and may sometimes help prolong erections for some men.
Different sizes, colors, textures, and even tastes are romantic.
Misunderstanding 6. Condoms affect blood circulation
The truth: Don't make a fuss about so many sizes, won't you buy a suitable one? But don't be too big or too loose, it will easily slip off and too small and too tight will be easy to break.
It is worth mentioning here that some people who normally look mighty but only double or triple their erection while others may have an erection that normally looks "insignificant" 5-7 times. Although there are many different lengths and sizes, you can always find a good condom that fits you well.
Misunderstanding 7. Taking medicine is enough, no need to wear condoms
Fact: No birth control is 100% effective. Even birth control pills are affected in many ways.
Forgetting to take your pills on time or missing a dose can reduce the contraceptive effect of short-acting oral contraceptives.
In addition to the interaction between drugs is also an issue you have to consider. Anti-tuberculosis drugs such as rifampicin, anti-epileptic drugs such as carbamazepine, AIDS drugs and even traditional Chinese medicines may interact with hormonal contraceptives and reduce the contraceptive effect of the latter.
Misunderstanding 8. You don't have to wear a condom for oral sex
Fact: The oral mucosa is easily invaded by germs.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae, chlamydia, herpes virus, etc. can all invade the human body through the oral mucosa and cause a series of infection and poisoning symptoms when the immunity is low.
It is worth mentioning that condoms need to cover the infected skin to provide reliable protection. Switching between different types of sexual intercourse at the same time, such as switching from vaginal sex to anal sex or oral sex, requires wearing a new condom.
Myth 9. You can only sleep with a good person without wearing a condom
Fact: Good people get sick too
Many sexually transmitted diseases are asymptomatic in the early stage, not to mention the disease does not care whether you are a good person or not. Sex without a condom in this situation is very unsafe and has the potential to spread disease without your knowledge. There is no safe person without safe sex.
