Condoms are incredibly affective in preventing the transmission of STIs or STDs. They're
a great barrier method, they protect you skin to skin, they protect the transmission of
infectious fluid. Although no method is a hundred percent affective, this is the best
protection that you can have from STIs or STDs. So I'm going to talk you through how
to use a ***. So the first thing you want to do is actually have a *** and the one
thing you want to make sure when you have a *** that a, you store it in the right
place, and that means a cool, dry place, so bad places for condoms, dashboard of your
car, in your wallet, anywhere where it's hot and sunny, not great to put them in the freezer
or the refrigerator, just want to store them in a nice cool dry place. And b, you want
to make sure that your condoms haven't expired. So most condoms are good for about five years
and you want to check the expiration date which is on the package of each *** to
make sure that your condoms have not expired, lets say, oh, yesterday. The way you know
a *** has not been pre-opened or compromised in some way is that you'll have an air bubble
in the *** so you'll be able to actually feel air in the ***, a resistance, if the
*** has actually been opened in some way, you won't be able to feel that air bubble.
Most condoms have a serrated edge where they join together and that provides you a really
great way to open them. You want to push the *** to the side, try not to use your teeth
because that can actually rip the ***, just use your fingers, you open the ***
up and you take it out. When you take the *** out of the package you'll notice that
it's rolled up and there is a correct and incorrect way to roll the *** down. The
correct way is that the rim is on the outside or the ***, and we always say that it kind
of looks like you have a little hat. When you have the rim on the inside it looks a
little bit more like a peeny. If you start to put the *** on the wrong way and you
find out that it's the wrong way, then you should throw the *** away and start with
a new one because what's happened is you have potentially infectious fluid that was on the
inside of the *** that now will be on the outside of the *** and that's not a good
thing. So once you've determined that your *** rim is on the outside, you want to
pinch the top of the *** so that the *** has some place to go. If it doesn't have a
place to go it can push the *** off the *** or it can cause the *** possibly
to rip or tear. So you want to leave room at the top, you have the rim on the outside,
you roll the *** all the way down the shaft, to the bottom of the shaft of the ***, all
the way to the end and you want to make sure that it's nice and snug on the end, but that
there's room on the top or the *** so that the *** has somewhere to go and then
you do whatever you normally do with your ***. When you're done and you're withdrawing
from the orifice, you want to make sure that you hold the bottom of the *** and you
withdraw carefully, take the *** off and you just twist it and throw it somewhere that
you don't have to be in touch with the fluid, that doesn't get found. Please do not flush
it down the toilet, it actually clogs drains. So when you're done with the ***, you are
done. It's a one use only item, you through it out and its gone. If you're going to start
another activity that requires a latex barrier, you get a brand new ***. So that's sort
of your basic how to use a ***.
