There are condoms for males and females. The male condom looks like a long thin deflated balloon and the female condom has flexible rings at both ends. Condoms are safe and effective in preventing pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted infections.
Condoms are the best method of preventing infections if two people are going to have sex.
No prescription is needed and condoms are readily available. Polyurethane transmits heat and may make sex more fun, and can be used by those with latex allergy. Many condoms are lubricated with a spermicide, which helps to kill sperm and the HIV virus. Condoms are sometimes described as odd looking and may decrease sensation or make noise during sex. Some people are allergic to the latex condoms and animal skin condoms are not as effective.
