  1. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT CONDOMS • IS A CONDOM THE BEST WAY TO HAVE SAFER SEX? • YES! CONDOMS AND OTHER LATEX OR PLASTIC BARRIERS PROVIDE PROTECTION FROM MANY STD'S DURING ORAL/ANAL/VAGINAL SEX. • ARE THERE ANY STD'S THAT CONDOMS WON'T PROTECT YOU FROM? • YES! HERPES, GENITAL WARTS (HPV-HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS), SYPHILIS, SCABIES AND CRABS CAN BE PASSED BY SKIN-TO-SKIN CONTACT. • ARE SOME CONDOMS BETTER THAN OTHERS? • YES! WHEN USED CORRECTLY EVERY TIME YOU HAVE SEX, ALL TYPES OF LATEX CONDOMS CAN REDUCE YOUR RISK OF CONTRACTING AN STD. • IF YOU ARE ON BIRTH CONTROL, SHOULD YOU STILL USE CONDOMS? • ABSOLUTELY! IF EITHER OF YOU HAS AN STD OR HAS SEX WITH ANYONE ELSE, YOU ARE STILL AT RISK. CONDOMS ARE THE ONLY FORM OF BIRTH CONTROL THAT PROTECTS YOU FROM STD'S. CONDOMS ALSO PROVIDE EXTRA PROTECTION AGAINST PREGNANCY! • CAN USING A CONDOM BE SEXY? • ABSOLUTELY! BELIEVE IT OR NOT, YOU CAN MAKE PUTTING ON A CONDOM SEXY FOR BOTH PARTNERS. USING A CONDOM TELLS YOUR PARTNER THAT YOU WANT PROTECTION AND SAFETY FOR BOTH OF YOU. USING CONDOMS CAN ALSO INCREASE COMMUNICATION AMONG PARTNERS, MAKING THE SEXUAL ACT MORE INTIMATE.

  2. “DID YOU KNOW…?” • …A SINGLE CONDOM CAN BE STRETCHED TO A LENGTH OF OVER 4 FEET • …NOVELTY CONDOMS ARE INTENDED FOR SEXUAL STIMULATION NOT PROTECTION. THEIR LABELS DO NOT MENTION THE PROTECTION AGAINST DISEASES AND PREGNANCY • …ABOUT 50% OF MALE CONDOMS ARE PURCHASED BY WOMEN • …A 2001 STUDY ON COLLEGE MALES SHOWED THAT: • ~43% WAITED TOO LONG AFTER STARTING SEX TO PUT THE CONDOM ON • ~30% PUT IT ON UPSIDE DOWN AND HAD TO FLIP IT OVER • ~15% TOOK IT OFF BEFORE SEX WAS OVER

  3. THE "HOW-TO" FOR CONDOM USE • HANDLE WITH CARE • THE CONDOM COMES ROLLED UP IN A SMALL PACKAGE. • OPEN PACKAGE CAREFULLY • TEETH, FINGERNAILS, AND SHARP OBJECTS CAN DAMAGE THE CONDOM • ONCE YOU HAVE TAKEN IT OUT OF THE PACKAGE, LOOK TO SEE WHICH WAY IT UNROLLS • PUT THE CONDOM ON • PUT THE CONDOM ON AS SOON AS THE PENIS IS HARD AND ERECT • LEAVE ABOUT ½ INCH OF ROOM AT THE TIP OF PENIS • PINCH THE TOP OF CONDOM BETWEEN YOUR THUMB AND FOREFINGER TO KEEP AIR OUT • ROLL IT DOWN • HOLD THE CONDOM AGAINST THE HEAD OF THE PENIS • USE YOUR OTHER HAND TO CAREFULLY UNROLL THE CONDOM OVER THE PENIS, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BASE • AFTER SEX • AFTER EJACULATION, TAKE THE PENIS OUT WHILE IT IS STILL HARD • HOLD THE RIM OF THE CONDOM AROUND THE BASE OF THE PENIS AS IT IS PULLED OUT • BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPILL SEMEN • TAKING THE CONDOM OFF THE PENIS • MAKE SURE THE PENIS IS AWAY FROM YOUR PARTNER'S BODY BEFORE YOU REMOVE THE CONDOM • THROW THE USED CONDOM AWAY. NEVER USE A CONDOM MORE THAN ONCE; NEVER FLUSH A CONDOM DOWN A TOILET.
