When you have a sexual relationship, do you follow these seven steps to put on a condom? We invite you to review them and try not to skip any.
1. Check the expiration date. Before the action begins, you should always check the expiration date on the condom. Although it may seem obvious, if it is already expired, your safety and that of your partner will be affected.
2. Open it carefully. Without using your teeth! Also do not use scissors or elements that can crack the latex. While handling it, be careful with sharp nails or jewelry.
3. Place the condom on the tip of the penis. Once out of the packaging, the condom will look like a small hat and the tip should face upwards to place it on the head of the penis when it is fully erect.
4. Slide the condom on. With one hand, take the tip of the condom to ensure that there is space in which the sperm will be deposited, and with the other, and using the tips of your fingers, unroll the condom downward until it reaches the base of the penis.
5. To action! You are now ready to have a safe and pleasant sexual relationship. If you want a softer penetration, you can use water-based lubricating gel.
6. When you’re done, take off the condom. You should do it when the penis is completely out, then tie a knot and take it straight to the trash can.
7. Never reuse condoms. Condoms should be used at all times where there is genital contact and even after ejaculation; It is necessary to use one for each sexual relationship.
