How do I put a condom on?

"It's actually frightening how many of my patients either aren't using
condoms correctly or aren't using them at all," she said. "If you
aren't comfortable talking about STDs or you aren't comfortable
putting a condom on a penis, you aren't ready to have sex."

Some women the assistant talked to said they don't look when putting
a condom on their partner, or they don't look when their partner is
putting on a condom, so neither partner is sure if they are properly
protected.

"It's not a moral question of right or wrong; it's pure science.
Using a condom is the best way to protect yourself from STDs other
than not having sex at all," the assistant said. "Using condoms
should be standard practice for anyone having sex."

Improper protection has led to a "huge resurgence" in gonorrhea
and chlamydia, STDs that generally don't cause any outward signs
of infection such as discharge or lesions, she said.

A 2002 Planned Parenthood study found that about 40 percent of
college-aged men don't put condoms on correctly.

1. To put on a condom correctly, first check the expiration
   date, then tear open the wrapping either at the notch provided or in the middle of the packet.
2. Squeeze the tip of the condom between your thumb and first two fingers to get rid of any air and to allow room for semen and any further enlargement of the penis.
3. Place the rolled-up condom on the tip of the penis with the hand pinching the end, and roll the condom down with the other hand. If the man is uncircumcised, pull back the foreskin first.
4. If the condom doesn't roll down easily, it's probably on inside out. Discard this condom and begin again with a new one.
5. The condom needs to be unrolled all the way to the base of the penis.
6. After intercourse, the man should hold the base of the condom around hisÿpenis as he pulls out to prevent the condom from slipping off inside the woman and to avoid spillage.
7. Use each condom only once. Don't store condoms in a hot area and never in a wallet. The condom should be in place before any physical contact between genitalia. Use only water-based lubricants with condoms.
   

Though condoms will greatly reduce transmission of STDs between partners, they don't provide 100 percent protection against certain diseases such as herpes and vaginal warts, the assistant said. For example, herpes can be transmitted when flakes of skin from the pubic area - an area not covered by a condom - shed onto another person's pubic area, even when the person with herpes is not having an outbreak of sores.
