A normal male condom, also known as an external condom, is one of the popular means of birth control known to everyone. It is not economically taxing, is extremely easy to use, and provides additional protection from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during sex.
Condom is rolled over and used as a barrier to not let the sperms from fertilising the female’s egg or transferring the virus in case of STI. It is usually found effective in 99% of cases. Reportedly, they are absolutely safe to use, except in a few cases, where it may have some side effects. Here are a list of things you must be prepared for if you normally use condoms during sexual intercourse.
Allergy
Condoms are produced using thin latex (rubber), polyurethane or polyisoprene, which is designed to prevent pregnancy by blocking the sperms to fertilise a female’s egg. However, latex can also trigger an allergy in either of the partners involved in the intercourse. It may also lead to rashes, hives and a the person might also have a runny nose. In extremely severe patients, the allergy can even tighten the respiratory airways and in turn decrease the person’s blood pressure. If you or your partner is allergic to latex, then you must go for a polyurethane or lambskin condom. However, the other two are a little expensive than the normal latex ones.
Less sensitivity
Unwanted pregnancy and diseases
Slipping out
