How to Put a Condom On

A condom is made of a thin rubber material. It is worn over the penis during intercourse to prevent pregnancy and to stop the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. A condom prevents a man's semen from entering his partner. The effectiveness of a condom depends on the user wearing it correctly.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Condoms

1. 
   Colored condoms

   Open the condom wrapper. Be careful not to rip the condom. It will be rolled up with a small protruding tip.

2. 
   Putting a condom on the tip of the penis

   Pull the condom onto the head of the erect penis. Make sure the right side is on the outside so that it can be rolled down easily. If this causes you trouble, you could be trying to roll it inside out. This will cause the condom to break, so grab a new one.

3. 
   Unrolling the condom

   Leave about ½ inch of the condom beyond the tip of the penis. The extra space is where the semen collects.

4. 
   Pull the condom down to the testicles.

   Hold the top in place as you unroll the condom all the way down to the base of the penis.

5. 
   Removing condom

   Remove the condom after ejaculation. Do this by holding the top portion (where the semen has collected) with your thumb and finger. Then pull the condom off slowly from the base with your other hand. Be careful not to spill or leak. Throw it away immediately.

Tips & Warnings

• The man does not always need to worry about the condom. It can be helpful and sexy if his partner knows how to properly put a condom on as well.
• Certain types of lubricants may break down the skin of the condom, thereby rendering it useless. Use only water-based lubricants.
• Unless you are in a monogamous relationship and you have discussed other contraception methods, always wear a condom.
