WHAT IS A CONDOM?
If
you don't know what a condom is then you are from some other planet but
the plain fact is - if you are not in a monogamous (exclusive) relationship
where you and your partner have both been tested then a condom is a responsibility
you owe yourself. In addition
to HIV, there are more than fifty different types of diseases that can
be passed through sexual activity and the only way to lessen your risk
is to use a condom. If your partner is not willing to use a condom
it means they don't care about themselves
or you
and it's time to find a different partner. Remember a condom can
Save
Your Life! So you don't have to
like them but you
HAVE
to use them so you might as well learn about them and then check out "Getting
Creative with Condoms"!
TYPES OF CONDOMS?
Now
with that little lecture out of the way there are lots of things to know
about condoms and which kind of condom you use is going to depend on what
kind of sexual activity you are engaging in, penis size and last but not
least - personal preference. Most people don't realize that condoms
are classified as medical devices. Their production and marketing are regulated
by the Food & Drug Administration. Every single condom is tested before
it is sold. Condoms used to be made of natural skin (including lambskin)
or of rubber. That's why they were called "rubbers". Most condoms today
are latex or polyurethane.
Lambskin
condoms can prevent pregnancy, however, they have tiny holes (pores) that
are large enough for HIV to get through. Lambskin condoms do not prevent
the spread of HIV. Latex is the most common material for condoms.
Viruses can not penetrate throught the latex but latex has two drawbacks:
oils make it fall apart, and some people are allergic to latex. There generally
are three sizes available and size differences are subtle.
Non
- Lubricated -
Old style that have been around forever - these are best used for oral
sex.
Plain
- Lubed -
These are standard-shaped lubricated condoms.
Thin
& Sensitive -
These are designed for people who feel that the standard condoms do no
provide enough feeling.
Spermicidal-
These are designed to add another level of protection against pregnancy.
Nonoxynol-9 is a chemical that kills sperm (a spermicide). It can help
prevent pregnancy when it is used in the vagina along with condoms or other
birth control methods. Nonoxynol-9 should not be used in the mouth or rectum.
Because nonoxynol-9 kills HIV in the test tube, it was considered as a
way to prevent HIV infection during sex. Unfortunately, many people are
allergic to it. Their sex organs (penis, vagina, and rectum) can get irritated
and develop small sores that actually make it easier for HIV infection
to spread. Nonoxynol-9 is not recommended as a way to prevent HIV infection.
Extra
Strength -
These are the heavy duty industrial variety.
Large-
As the name implies these are for the well endowed.
Extra
Roomy -
Designed to fit a bit looser that some people find increases the sensation
and with a reservoir tip.
Flavored
- Perfect
for oral sex otherwise, the flavors would go to waste.
Textured-
These are the fun ones designed to add some additional stimulation.
Polyurethane-
Designed for people who are allergic to latex. A latex allergic reaction
can be fatal. The symptoms can show up as a simple red rash or something
more severe. If you have ever had a reaction to wearing a band-aid
then your probably have a latex allergy and should consider using only
polyurethane condoms.
Female
Condoms -
These are designed to be inserted in the vagina before sex. The sheath
contains a flexible ring on each end. One ring is inserted into the vagina
and helps hold it in place. The outer ring stays outside the body. This
can help prevent the female condom from getting pushed into the vagina.
Each item comes with extra water-based lubricant and instructions.
Dental
Dams - Specially
designed as a barrier for use while performing cunnilingus (oral/vaginal
sex) and rimming (oral/anal sex) or kissing (someone who has been rimming).
When properly used they may help reduce the risk of catching or spreading
many sexually transmitted diseases. However, they cannot entirely eliminate
the risk. |
