Condoms may reduce the risk of cervical cancer because there's less risk of HPV infection. There's no visit to a clinic or doctor's office required to start using condoms. Condoms are fairly easy to get and usually do not cost a lot. Condoms are a good contraceptive option during breast-feeding or with other methods as a backup. Unless the woman puts it on as a part of foreplay, the condom may interrupt sex.
Condoms require some practice to learn how to use.
When putting the condom on the penis you must avoid tearing the condom or putting a hole in it with finger nails, a ring or anything sharp. These products can put a hole in a latex condom in a matter of seconds. Some men cannot maintain an erection with a condom on. The man must pull out soon after ejaculation. If he becomes soft, the condom can fall off and be left in the vagina without the couple knowing that this has happened.
