Medical Video: THE ULTIMATE CONDOM TEST
Condoms can be one of the effective solutions to prevent pregnancy and transmission of venereal diseases. However, does the condom taste also offer the same benefits? How about the risk? Although it can increase pleasure during oral sex, is it safe?
What flavor condoms are made of?
Condoms are contraceptives made from a very thin layer of material to prevent male semen from entering the vagina. If used appropriately and carefully, the efficacy of condoms to prevent pregnancy and disease transmission reaches 98 percent.
There are many types of condoms sold in the market. Starting from condoms made from latex (rubber latex), sheep skin (lambskin), polyurethane (a mixture of rubber and plastic), and polyisoprene (synthetic rubber). This standard condom variant does not have the taste and smell like rubber or plastic in general.
To add to the sensation and enjoyment of oral sex, many manufacturers have released a flavored condom variant by coating the outer side of the condom with lubricants containing various types of artificial flavorings, which are certainly safe for consumption. This viable lubricant can also be added to other types of condoms, such as textured condoms or those that have additional sensations (eg cold or tickling).
Collected from various sources, the most popular flavors are strawberries, chocolate, bananas, and oranges. Some taste condom producers even release condoms with kola flavor, marijuana, durian, eggplant, and bacon (sepek meat).
Can you use sex flavored condoms?
Although it is safe to use for oral sex, not all condoms tastesafe for use in other sexual activities.
There are several flavored condom products that can be used for vaginal penetration, but some are not. We recommend that you first read the usage instructions listed on the condom package.
These types of condoms come from glycerin-made sugars contained in the lubricant. Glycerin in the vagina can damage the vaginal pH balance, thus increasing a woman's risk of being affected vaginal yeast infections and urinary tract infections if using condoms taste for vaginal penetration.
How to choose a safe condom?
The choice of the best condom actually depends on what your needs are.
Latex flavorless condoms are the most effective type of preventing pregnancy and venereal disease from any type of sexual activity. But this condom can only be used with water-based lubricants. Oil-based lubricants or petroleum jelly can cause the rubber material to thin, wear and tear. In people who are allergic to latex, this type of condom use can cause itching, a burning sensation, or a reddish rash on the skin around the genitals.
For those who have latex allergies, it is recommended to use polyurethane condoms; made of synthetic plastic, colorless and odorless, thinner and stronger, but less elastic than latex material. Polyurethane condoms can be used with water or oil based lubricants.
Polyurethane ingredients also produce heat which can increase sensitivity during sex. Polyurethane is not porous, so it provides better protection for prevention of pregnancy and infectious venereal disease.
