Whether condoms lubricated with spermicides are more effective than other lubricated condoms in protecting against the transmission of HIV and other STDs has not been determined. Complete information about condoms is available from your clinician or from the package insert. Condoms are safe and effective at preventing both pregnancy and infection when they are used during each act of sex. Sexual intercourse may be enjoyed more because there is less fear of STIs, HIV, and pregnancy. Prolonging sex may make sex more fun.
Condoms come in many colors, sizes and with or without ribbing.
Condoms make sex less messy by catching the semen. Plus Nonoxynol-9, you may decrease the chance that your condom will break. To decrease the chance of the condom slipping down the penis or falling off in the vagina, pull the penis out of the vagina right after ejaculation. Don't continue thrusting until the penis becomes soft. This will make it easier to use condoms during sex.
