Condom do's and don'ts
Step-by-step guide to using a condom
Practise and be prepared
Practise putting a condom on when you are masturbating on your own. Making it part of your wank will help you to get used to the feel and look of a condom, and can be a turn-on in itself. You can take your time, following instructions step-by-step, so that you know exactly what you are doing. That way, when it comes to using condoms during fucking, you will know what to do.
You can also practise putting a condom on your partner, on a banana or on a dildo. Some people like to put condoms onto their partner's cock during sex, and this is a way of getting used to it. But never fuck with a condom that you have practised with by inflating or stretching. Use a new one instead.
You never know when you will strike lucky. Carry some around with you all the time. Remember that this is not `loose' but responsible behaviour. And leave condoms around your flat - in the bedroom, the bathroom, in fact wherever you have sex at home. They will also advertise the fact that you expect to use condoms when you have sex.
- Open the packet carefully to avoid damaging the condom (jewellery, long fingernails or careless teeth could tear it). The condom comes out rolled up forming a ring which will fit over the cock
- Put the condom on after the cock is hard and before any kind of fucking begins
- Check the condom is the right way up; you can test with a finger that it rolls out and down
- Keep the cock completely free of grease and lubricant for best `holding power'
- Squeeze the closed end between the thumb and forefinger to expel the air. Air bubbles can make condoms break
- Hold the condom over the tip of the cock and with the other hand carefully unroll it down to the base of the cock. It may help to stretch the condom width-ways in order to ease it down the cock and to ensure that it remains in place once fucking begins. But be careful not to pierce the condom with your fingernails when doing this
- If you have a foreskin pull it back before covering the head of the cock with the condom. Don't try to cover the balls with a condom
- Smooth the condom to eliminate any air bubbles
- Some men withdraw to check the condom, occasionally. If you need more lubrication (and you should use plenty), use more water-based lubricant
- Never use two condoms at once. This more is likely to lead to breakage because of rubber rubbing against rubber
- If the cock gets soft during fucking the condom may slip. Fingers held round the base of the condom will help it stay put
- If the condom does break or slip off during fucking withdraw as soon as you find out! Obviously you will need to use a new one if this happens
- A condom is more likely to break if the fuck lasts a long time, (longer than 45 minutes). Consider changing the condom during a long sex session
- After coming (ejaculation) withdraw the cock before it becomes soft (otherwise semen could leak out of the condom). To prevent the condom slipping off your cock at this stage, hold it firmly round the base as you withdraw
- Throw used condoms away. Dispose of them thoughtfully, e.g. wrapped up in tissue paper and then thrown in the rubbish. They shouldn't be flushed down the loo, since this may cause blockages in sewage disposal, according to water companies
- Never use a condom more than once
- Never go fucking from one person to another without changing condoms.
