We are now seeing lots of college students contracting lots of STDs. Some are curable. Some are not. Burying one's head in the sand doesn't make the problem go away. If your partner thinks of condoms as a reminder of all of this seriousness, remind your partner that the most important sexual organ in the body is the mind.
Safer sex can still be fun.
Squeeze air out of the tip, unroll condom until penis is covered. DO NOT use oil-based lubricants such as those made with petroleum jelly, mineral oil or cold cream, as these may damage the condom. Withdraw the penis before losing erection, holding on to the base of the condom to avoid having it slip off. Immediately wash the penis, vulva and surrounding area. DO NOT reuse condoms.
