Condom and Lubes
 With so many STDs
and life threatening diseases such as AIDS looming large over the most natural of human acts -sex- the call for the need to practice safer sex is echoing louder than ever before.
Here,
safer sex means protecting oneself from exposure to semen, vaginal fluids, breast milk, or blood during intercourse so that the chances of STDs and AIDS can be reduced to the minimum.
Condoms, surgical gloves, and plastic wrap are few things that could provide protection against such exposures in various circumstances. This article focuses on the role of condoms and lubes in making the act of
love making, the safest act on earth.
The best condoms to use for anal and vaginal intercourse are lubricated latex condoms. Lambskin condoms could easily break off and are not proved to be that effective against HIV and STDs. Polyurethane condoms, on the other hand, are good enough, but still it is not as good as latex ones. Hence, on a safer side, your priority must be latex
lubricated condoms, followed by
polyurethane ones.
Regarding the use of condoms, while unpacking, make sure that the condom is very much within its expiry date. If it has exceeded the expiry period, dispose it and go for a brand new pack. While wearing the condom, ensure that it reaches till the lower part of the penis, near the balls.
After love making, while pulling out the condom, hold the condom near the balls so that it does not slip off accidentally. Remember, this must be done only after you are completely out of your partner. Finally, dispose the used condom. Never use a condom for the second time, even if the partners are the same.
Lubes are meant to reduce friction during entering and during intercourse. It is especially useful for women if they are indulging in love making for the first time. But, one must understand that not all lubes provide the same level of comfort and protection. For example, water-based lubes are the best bet as it does not have any side effects on the body or on the condom.
On the other hand, oil based ones can actually disintegrate and break latex. Oils are best for cars, but definitely not for sex. Finally, don't ever attempt to substitute lubes with Vaseline, creams, or lotion as lubricants, if you cannot get your hands on a water-based lube at the hour of need. It could cause
infection in the genitals.
To wrap it up, use latex condoms and water-based lubes always.
