If you’re just learning how to use condom, you may feel overwhelmed with the sheer variety of the types of male condom out there. Lubed, ribbed, colored, flavored, and available in a zillion different types of materials. Whether you are up to following the advice given in any sex toys review before playing with sex toys, or planning to go “Down the rabbit hole” yourself, the important thing is just to use a male condom, period. Whatever type of male condom you choose, even on that’s pre-lubed, you should keep some extra lubricant on hand to ensure comfort. How to use condom is pretty much the same regardless of what features it has or what materials it’s made of. You’ll first want to learn how to put a condom on correctly. When learning how to put on a condom, simply place the rolled condom at the head of your penis, and unroll the condom down the shaft of your erect penis. When learning how to put on a condom, you’ll want to make sure that when your condom is unrolled, there’s a reservoir at the head of your penis that’s large enough to collect your ejaculate, otherwise the effort of learning how to put a condom on can be thwarted by your ejaculate flowing down the condom and leaking out of the base of the male condom.
As it’s noted, Germany’s Jan Vinzenz Krause invented the spray-on condom in 2006. This introduces a new wrinkle in how to use condom. When learning this variation of how to put on a condom, you’ll put your penis into a small chamber with several small nozzles that spray liquid latex over your penis. Unrolling and ensuring good fit condom don’t factor into learning how to put a condom on when the spray on condom’s involved. The spray on condom isn’t without drawbacks, though. For many couples, the hissing sound of the nozzles kills the mood, along with the two to three minutes the latex takes to dry, and the spray on condom doesn’t have a very ample reservoir to collect ejaculate. Still, it’s a start in the quest for better fitting condoms.
Even if you’re an experienced user, it never hurts to have a refresher in how to use condom. The male condom is extremely effective in curtailing the spread of disease and preventing unwanted pregnancy, but only when used correctly.
