Many people take for granted that everyone knows the correct way to use condoms. However it can be surprising how many people have never been taught the correct way to use condoms. For a number of reasons, there is a large amount of people out there, who are unsure of the proper way to put a condom on, or even to take it off.

Sometimes, people may become embarrassed if they have little experience using a condom and may be shy to ask their partner, or afraid that they will turn off their partner if they bring up the subject. Often times, women may not be sure of the correct way to use condoms because past partners have always taken care of the birth control or perhaps they have used another method for past sexual encounters. These same people may be uncomfortable bringing up the issue with friends because they are afraid that they will be ridiculed or made fun of.

It is essential to proper condom usage to know the correct way to use condoms. This includes the proper way to put it on, use it during intercourse and oral sex, and how to take off the condom safely. If you are unsure of the proper way to use a condom, do not be afraid to ask your partner, or friends, or even read the instructions on the box.
