Correctly Put on a Condom Every Time You Hook Up

If you are sexually active, there is a very good chance that you are using condoms as one of the primary methods of birth control and as prevention for sexually transmitted diseases. However, do you correctly put on a condom every time you use one? The number of people who do not correctly put on a condom every single time they have sex is alarming.

Of course, most people do know that in order to be safe during intercourse they must correctly put on a condom, however many people do not realize that they need to wear a condom during oral sex as well. If you are not in a long term monogamous relationship, it is a good idea to protect yourself with a condom during oral sex encounters as well. Remember when you are putting on a condom to place it on the tip of the erect penis with the roll facing out, squeeze the air gently out of the tip as you roll the condom down the shaft of the penis taking care that you do not rip it.

If you know how to correctly put on a condom every time you have any sexual encounter, you will cut your risk of sexually transmitted diseases dramatically. Remember to take your time to do it correctly; do not be in a rush. When you put a condom on in a hurry you are much more likely to make a mistake or cause a tear in the latex.
