Another delusion about STD is that you will not get if you have done oral or anal sex. You may get viruses of STD through tiny cuts in anus or mouth. STD’s also spread because of embarrassment that you can’t tell to anybody. Even some people remains unaware of it.

Condom Related Mistakes And Their Solutions

While condoms are the safest and easiest available sexual pleasure enhancers as well as birth controllers and protectors from STD, in spite of their positive points, if used improperly can be catastrophic. Condoms, though are in reach of everyone but there are some proper ground rules which must be kept in mind while using condoms. Some of these areas under:

Why condoms get torn?

Improper carrying and storing of condoms tends to break them down. Condoms are stored in wallets by many men and it might result in them breaking or puncturing because of your coin purse or keys, same goes if you store condoms in glove box of your car as temperature rises in there. Condoms must be stores precisely at room temperature away from heat and sunlight. Extreme conditions can take away elasticity of condoms and hence can result in breaking of those. We must also check some common things while buying them or before using them such as manufacturing and expiry of condoms. Using them at their prime offers proper lubrication as well as slim chances of getting broken.

Application issues also lead to more problems such as spillage and chances of pregnancy. Holding the tip tightly for no air inside and rolling up to the base of an erect penis are very important. The most basic part of it is that it should be applied on an erect penis only and if by any mistake it is rolled inside out, the same condom should not be used again. It should be thrown away. Another part of improper condom usage is that one condom is used for anal, vaginal and oral sex which is not suitable. One condom must be thrown away after one part of the intercourse.

There is a common supposition and rumur that using two condoms instead of one will double up the protection. The reverse is true but this is not. If we use two condoms on top of each other, it will result in increased friction which will lead to the condom tearing up. A single condom provides lubrication whereas using two condoms only leads to losing it and resulting in friction. It is the best that we must stick to using a single condom per time.

Condoms should not be reused. They should not be reused even if you are during the intercourse with same person. These are one time usage products and once you lose erection, these must be thrown away. Using condoms again increases chances of spreading STD, safeguarding from which you earlier did use condom. So to avoid going back to square one, we must always use a condom once and never reuse it. Condoms should not be used for multiple body parts too. If a condom is used during oral sex, it cannot be used for vaginal or anal. This is because we do not want condom to become a carrier of fluids hence resulting in STD to our partner and then it reaching out to us.

Things to consider while buying a condom?

Condoms are available in market in a lot of material choices. They vary from latex to animal based condoms. While latex are the industry standards with protection, animal based condoms do not offer same level of protection. So we must be very careful with our choice of products. Further there are other types of condoms like glow in the dark condoms which are objectified for entertainment purposes more than protection. So these kind of condoms  do not provide that level of protection.

Choosing an adequate lubricant is important. While condoms do have lubrication on them, you must also use additional water based lubrication to make friction go hence lowering chances of condom puncture. Oil based lubrication should be avoided as it can rupture condoms. Always use water based lubrication.
