Seven Things You Need To Know About Condoms

A condom is a barrier device commonly used during sexual intercourse to reduce the probability of pregnancy and spreading sexually transmitted diseases. It is put on a man's erect penis or a woman's uterus and physically blocks ejaculated semen from entering the body of a sexual partner. Condoms are also used for collection of semen for use in infertility treatment. 

As a method of birth control, male condoms have the advantage of being inexpensive, easy to use, having few side effects, and offering protection against sexually transmitted diseases. The condom has been one of the most popular methods of contraception in the world. While widely accepted in modern times and massively consumed but here are some basic facts you never knew about condoms;

1. Condoms have been around since 1000 B.C. 

Evidence of condom use among Egyptians stretches back as far back as 1000 B.C. Then, in the 18th century, condoms began being manufactured out of animal intestines. In the 19th century, rubber became the material of choice for rubbers, and the 20th century ushered in the age of latex. Some folks still use lambskin condoms, and swear by their extra sensitivity. However, for anyone who was in a fraternity, that probably hits a little too close to home.

2. Some condoms are bigger than others.

The world's largest "condom" was a 127-foot-tall hot-air balloon version of a rubber unleashed during a Dutch safe-sex festival. The world's largest condom that a man who is probably not being entirely honest would actually put on his penis is the Durex XXL, which, at 9.5 inches, recently passed the Magnum XL for overall size supremacy and of course female condoms are larger and longer than the male. the males also has the kings size so you see,they are folks that are really large down there in case you want to try but they are not horses though.

3. Wearing two condoms doesn't work.

Wearing two condoms doesn't just increase friction,but decreases the lubrication of the vagina,causing dryness,wear and tear which can result to breakage or bursting of both condoms. Now let me ask,do you use two umbrellas no matter the magnitude of the rain,that's a big NO. Just as you don't fix two class cups together to take water because you are so thirsty.

4. Vaseline and Condoms are a big fat DONT 

Condoms and Vaseline seem like using a black powder on a light skin,it's powder but not the correct result. In fact, Vaseline, or any oil-based lubricant, will act to disintegrate most condoms. You can use water base lubricates but be it vaseline,oil or groundnut oil increases wear and may result to leakage or breakage. That's as good as having a skin to skin you know. No result!

5. Condoms are like Etisalat (you choose)

Like seriously,it doesn't matter if you bought a condom for a million dollar,they all do the same thing. If one is sold for a thousand and the other a hundred,it doesn't make it any better.once it's not expired and you got it from a good shop or pharmacy.condoms come in different sizes,colors,fragrances and designs too including the female condoms which are widely making waves in our present society for the ladies, so you choose and color your world.

6. Condoms has its basic code of conducts

Recently, a couple of issues just came up on condoms as not been 100% effective.  Remember that only abstinence is reliable as every other contraceptive involves crossing a few 'T's and dotting some 'I's. that is why we advice,"correct and consistent" use of condom. so anytime you meet an unplanned bun in the oven,it means it may have been an expired condom or possibly you did it wrong.

7. Condoms are the only Dual protection.

Sure it's dual because it does two different things at the same time it also protects against STDs  as well as the dreaded HIV and also plays an important role in preventing pregnancy. That is why it's safer than the pills, IUD devices and other natural methods of family planning except you want something more permanent,if you know what I mean.

Now when next you consider sexual intercourse,
would you rather consider a dual protection 
that is less than 100% effective or would you
be sure to hold on to yourself and practice 100% abstinence.

Use your head and think ahead.
