Welcome to this educational guide on proper condom use. Using condoms correctly is crucial for preventing sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancy. Let's start with the first step: checking the condom package for any damage and ensuring it hasn't expired.
Now let's open the condom package carefully. Tear along the edge of the package using your fingers. Never use your teeth, fingernails, or any sharp objects as these can damage the condom. Take your time to ensure the condom remains intact during this step.
Step three is crucial: check that the condom is oriented correctly. The rim should be on the outside so it can roll down easily. If the rim is on the inside, the condom is upside down. Never flip a condom over if it's the wrong way - always use a fresh one to avoid contamination.
Now for the most important step: pinch the tip of the condom to remove any air bubbles, then roll it down the entire length of the penis to the base. Pinching the tip creates space for semen and prevents the condom from breaking. Make sure the condom covers the entire penis completely.
Finally, proper removal and disposal. Hold the base of the condom firmly while withdrawing to prevent it from slipping off. Carefully remove the condom, tie the end to prevent spillage, and dispose of it in the trash. Never flush condoms down the toilet as they can cause plumbing problems. Remember to use a new condom every time.
