Condoms are considered one of the most effective ways to prevent unwanted pregnancies and Sexually Transmitted Diseases [STDs].
Condoms are, however, not 100 percent perfect.
Here are five myths about condoms you should stop believing.
Condoms are not needed for oral or anal sex: Condoms should always be used whenever you are making love. They are not only meant to protect you against unwanted pregnancies but also STDs. Make sure you grab a pack of condoms before having sex with your partner.
Condoms don't expire: Condoms do not last forever. Just like other products, condoms also expire. Look at the expiry date of the condoms before buying them.
Condoms are uncomfortable: Most people do not use condoms because they think that they are uncomfortable, which is not the case. Condoms are pleasurable and easy to use. Proper use is required to enjoy use of condoms during sex.
No condoms are needed if the girl is using a pill: Pills do not prevent STDs. Partners are advised to use condoms to ensure that they are safe from infecting each other with diseases.
Two condoms are safer than one: Some people think that they can avoid diseases by using two condoms at the same time. Well, two condoms are likely to slip off during the act.
