Medical Video: How To Use Male Condom - Manipal Hospitals
When you are passionate about making love, you might imagine everything will go smoothly and according to plan. However, sometimes there are things that can make your hot session and couples become worse. One of them is the problem of condoms. This male contraception does seem simple, but misuse can lead to pregnancy or transmission of venereal disease. You and your partner must know when it is appropriate to use a condom, whether it is before or after the penis erections. Come on, see the important information about how to install the right condoms below.
When is the right time to use a condom?
Usually when do you start installing condoms when you are with your partner? If you attach a condom after a penis erection, then you have done the right thing. The best time to use a condom is after an erection but before the penis touches the intimate area of the woman.
A reproductive health expert from New York, United States, Dr. Bruce Gilbert appealed that using a condom before an erection is too risky. Because the condom is not properly installed and will be more easily released. So, you should install this contraception after the penis erect perfectly.
What if the erection disappears after the condom is installed?
You may have installed a condom at the right time. However, before penetrating or in the middle of a lovemaking session, an erection can be lost or reduced. If this happens, remove the condom and replace it with a new one. Do not try to correct the position of the condom again, especially if the condom has dropped down from the base of the penis.
How to use the right condom
To ensure that you have installed the condom properly and safely, pay close attention to the following steps.
- Be careful when opening a condom wrapper. Tear off the end of the package, not from the middle so that the condom inside is not damaged.
- Hold the edge of the condom with your thumb and forefinger.
- If you believe you have an erection, use a condom from the tip of the penis by slowly opening the condom to the base of the penis. Don't get pulled straight up! This risks causing the condom to tear.
- If a condom roll cannot be opened, the condom may be reversed. Discard this condom and replace the new one, don't turn it over. Maybe there is already sperm attached to the condom without your knowing it.
What might happen if you use a condom before an erection
Do not use a condom when the penis is still sluggish and always replace the condom after losing an erection. Because, when the penis has not erected and you have installed a condom, the air will be trapped inside the condom, even when you reach an erection. This makes the penis become drier and uncomfortable, especially when penetrating. The trapped air can also make the condom more full, not according to the size it should be. As a result, condoms are prone to tears and leaks.
In addition, if you do not replace a condom after losing an erection, there is a high chance that sperm have leaked to the outside of the condom. If you penetrate into the vagina, sperm that attaches to the outside of the condom is at risk of causing pregnancy or transmission of venereal disease.
