Key
With nearly 1 million Americans

"Condoms
are effective in preventing HIV and other STDs." |
Overview
Male condoms are usually packaged inside a foil wrapper, in a rolled-up
form, and are designed to be applied to the tip of the penis and then
rolled over the erect penis. They are most commonly made from latex, but
are also available in other materials. As a method of contraception,
condoms have the advantage of being easy to use, inexpensive, having few
side-effects, and of offering protection against sexually transmitted
diseases. With proper knowledge and application techniqueand use at
every act of intercoursecondom users experience a 2% per-year
pregnancy rate.[1] Condoms may be combined with other forms of
contraception (such as spermicide) for greater protection.[2]
Some couples find that putting on a male condom interrupts sex, although
others incorporate condom application as part of their foreplay. Some
men and women find the physical barrier of a condom dulls sensation.
Advantages of dulled sensation can include prolonged erection and
delayed ejaculation[3]; disadvantages might include a loss of the
erection, or a loss of the pleasure of sexual actions.
A condom
is a device, usually made of latex, or more recently polyurethane, that
is used during sexual intercourse.......
