Condoms prevent STD’s including HIV and Hepatitis, but only if you use them correctly. Condoms need to be kept in a dry, cool place. Men have been socialized to think that it’s ‘cool’ to keep a condom in their wallets, but wallets sit up against our bodies which are warm and that can eventually break down the latex. Or what about keeping condoms in the glove compartment, again it gets warm from the sun and heat breakdown latex. Ok, now that we know that we gotta keep it ‘cool’ with our condoms, let’s talk about some ways to use them correctly.

Every condom has an expiration date that is stamped on the outside of the package. If you had to choose condomless sex or using an expired condom, risk reduction strategy is to use the expired condom. Now when opening a condom its important to push the condom to the side and gently tear open the package. This is not a time to get all sexy and try to open it with your mouth because you could accidentally tear the condom with your teeth.

So it’s time to get some squishy (sex), you want to make sure the penis is erect before you try to put the condom on. It’s safer to avoid rubbing an uncovered penis on your squishy (genitals, anus or mouth) because you can come into contact with his body fluids. Ok, you got the condom out the package and you want to pinch the tip of the condom and place it on the head of the erect penis. Continuing to pinch the tip of the condom roll the condom to the base of his penis.

TIPs: To enhance the inside pleasure of a condom you can put a small amount of water-base lube in the tip before putting it on. The lube will seal around the head of the penis feeling more like natural squishy. Be careful not to put too much lube inside the condom because it can make it easier for the condom to slip off the penis. Lube on the outside of the condom feels good for your partner and can prevent the condom from drying out and tearing. You don’t want to use lubricants that have oil in them when using latex condoms because oil breaks down latex; this means no lotion, mayonnaise, baby oil, fat back, or hair grease. Caution, there are some water-based lubes that have non-oxynol 9 in them which is a mild detergent and some people are allergic to it. It is much easier to find out if your allergic to it by rubbing a small amount of the lube in on the inside of your wrist or the crook of your arm. Let it sit there for a couple of minutes and if it gets red or itchy, don’t use that lube for getting any squishy (sex). It’s much easier to get it off your arm then it is to get it out of your squishy (vagina or anus).

Once done getting some squishy (sex), it’s important to hold onto the condom when pulling out; you don’t want to lose it inside somewhere. Make sure not to drop out any body fluids anywhere and tie a knot in the end of it. Wrap the used condom in a tissue and throw it in the trash. Flushing it down the toilet could either back up your septic or it could come back to haunt you if it doesn’t flush properly. You don’t want any unexpected surprises.

Knowing how to use condoms correctly is the best way to prevent STDs and unwanted pregnancies. If you don’t know what condom works best for you, try masturbating with them to find out which one gives you the most pleasure. Good luck in keeping it correct and I am here if you have any questions. #squishytalk
