Male Condom
How does it work?
- Put the condom on the penis before any genital contact.
- Avoid usage of oil-based lubricants such as vaseline and baby oil, which may cause chemical damage. Use KY jelly, or a spermicidal product.
How effective is it?
Typical effectiveness rate = 88%
Common problems
- Genital contact – condom put on just before ejaculation – not in time to catch the first fraction of sperm.
- Loss of erection – condom slips off before ejaculation.
- Leakage on withdrawal, when the penis is flaccid.
- Damage to the sheath – manufacturing defects, chemical damage or by sharp fingernails.
Disadvantages
- Decreased ‘sensitivity’, especially for the male.
- May slip off or rupture.
- Even very small leaks of semen may cause a pregnancy. Hence extremely meticulous use is required.
- Side effects – very few but includes allergy to rubber.
