Although a condom is the best contraceptive method to prevent Sexually Transmitted Diseases and unwanted pregnancies, there are still many myths that lead to 10 mistakes when using a condom.
So to make the most of the existence of condoms, we tell you what you should never do when using them
The first mistake is not to use it and if you have encouraged yourself to include it in your moments of passion, make sure you do not know this:
- Ignore the expiration date,An expired condom loses its effectiveness
- Do not tighten the tip when putting it,If you skip this step, there could be air and it will be easier to break it
- Use incorrect lubricants,If you use oil-based lubricants you damage the latex from which the condom is made and it could break. Better use water-based lubricants.
- Use two condoms,This will not protect you at all, on the contrary, friction can break them more easily.
- Use it shortly before ejaculating,For the condom to be highly effective, it must be used throughout the sexual relationship.
- Refuse,Some people admit that they have refused to use condom at least once during a sexual encounter, which besides being unhygienic, increases the risk of pregnancy and STDs.
- Wait a lot to remove it,It is important that the penis comes out of the vagina before losing the erection and that you hold the condom while you “go out”, otherwise it could remain in the vagina.
- Open it with your teeth,If you use your teeth or sharp objects to open the condom package, you could break it. You must open it with the tips of your fingers.
- Do not use lubricant,If your sex sessions are long and do not use lubricant, it increases the risk of the condom breaking.
- Wrong on your side or unroll it before,Some men claim to have started to unwind the condom from the wrong side and then have turned it over to use it on its correct side and in doing so, expose your partner to the precum.
Another mistake is to unroll it completely before putting it on. The ideal is to go unrolling while you wear it, otherwise it will be more complicated and in the maneuvers you can damage it.
