| Explain the 5 Basic Steps of Using a Male Condom |
| Basic Steps |
Important Details |
| 1. Use a new condom for each act of sex |
 Check the condom package. Do not use if torn or damaged. Avoid using a condom past the expiration date—do so only if a newer condom is not available. - Tear open the package carefully. Do not use fingernails, teeth, or anything that can damage the condom.
|
| 2. Before any physical contact, place the condom on the tip of the erect penis with the rolled side out |
- For the most protection, put the condom on before the penis makes any genital, oral, or anal contact.
|
| 3. Unroll the condom all the way to the base of the erect penis |
- The condom should unroll easily. Forcing it on could cause it to break during use.
- If the condom does not unroll easily, it may be on backwards, damaged, or too old. Throw it away and use a new condom.
- If the condom is on backwards and another one is not available, turn it over and unroll it onto the penis.
|
| 4. Immediately after ejaculation, hold the rim of the condom in place and withdraw the penis while it is still erect |
- Withdraw the penis.
- Slide the condom off, avoiding spilling semen.
- If having sex again or switching from one sex act to another, use a new condom.
|
| 5. Dispose of the used condom safely |
- Wrap the condom in its package and put in the rubbish or latrine. Do not put the condom into a flush toilet, as it can cause problems with plumbing.
