How To Use Condoms Correctly

3468

nstructions for condom use are simple, but because AIDS is so deadly, they must be followed carefully. Researchers constantly stress that the main reason rubbers fail to work is they are used incorrectly: they seldom leak or break due to faulty manufacture. PRACTICE!

Advanced Study of Human Are Condoms Effective Against AIDS?

Sexuality. Early in 1983, as doctors increasingly urged condom use to prevent AIDS transmission, our President, Ted Mcllvenna, Ph.D. gave me several hundred condoms with the task of learning how to use them properly and enjoy myself.

I knew I could figure out how to use condoms, but learning to enjoy them seemed an impossible task. Nevertheless, I decided to give it a try. So over the past two years I have read scientific articles and books, talked with other condom users and, of course, experimented. As expected, I learned how to use condoms and came to admire them greatly for their prophylactic qualities. But to my amazement, I also discovered that these strong little servants of love can be thrilling sex toys as well!

The information below is a starting point for those interested in hot and healthy rubber love. The instructions for proper use are synthesized from a number of scientific articles, while the

section on how to enjoy condoms comes from personal exploration, discussions with hundreds of rubber users and hints from the scientific journals. The article is intended as sex education not medical advice. This being the case, the information may be as new, exciting and useful to your doctor as it hopefully, is for you.

Before proceeding, I want to stress an obvious point that is sometimes forgotten: while condoms are extremely important for safeguarding our sexual health, they are not a total solution to AIDS prevention. Obviously the more layers of risk reduction we use and the healthier lives we lead, the greater chances are that we will survive the AIDS epidemic. Basically, this article is written to help guys integrate condoms into an overall hot and healthy risk reduction lifestyle.

When properly used, latex condoms create a

strong barrier between penis and sperm and the warm, moist cavities we love to explore. Though rubbers effectively prevent the exchange of bodily fluids, there is a question about whether they stop the AIDS virus itself. However, HTLV III is roughly the size of herpes and other viruses which are unable to penetrate latex; and neither air nor water can pass through rubbers even though their molecules are 1,000 times smaller than the virus.

Condoms also help prevent several of the opportunistic infections and possible cofactors associated with

AIDS. For example, they help stop genital transmission of candidasis (yeast infections), cytomegalovirus

(CMV) and Epstein-Barre Virus (EBV). And of course, they also protect against herpes, gonorrhea and syphilis.

This is certainly encouraging news, but enthusiasm for condoms should always be kept in perspective. Condom effectiveness against AIDS is not an established fact; their use is considered possibly safe in risk reduction guidelines and condoms occasionally break.

FRUSTRATED FUNDAMENTALISTS

COMMONLY CALLED THE MORAL MAJORITY"

IVE BEEN A FUNDAMENTALIST NOW ALL MY LIFE. I KNOW WERE REALLY NOT A RELIGION BUT WE BELIEVE EVERY WORD OF THE BIBLE... AT LEAST THE WAY OUR PASTORS INTERPRET IT..

PERSONALLY, I LIKE THE SECURITY OF NOT HAVING TO THINK FOR MYSELF. I LET MY PASTOR DO THAT. AFTER ALL, HE KNOWS GOD AND GOD KNOWS BEST.

FORTUNATELY, MY HUSBANDS SHAME FOR HIS BODY AND MY FEAR OF MESSING UP MY BOUFFANT HAIR-DO KEEPS SUCH INTERCOURSE TO A MINIMUM. WHY, I DON'T THINK IVE EVER HAD AN ORGASM WHAT EVER THAT IS?

WE ARE MORALLY SELF-RIGHTEOUS BECAUSE WE KNOW GOD IS ON OUR SIDE, AND WE DISCREDIT ALL THE HUNDREDS OF SECTS, CULTS AND RELIGIONS THAT SAY THE SAME THING

WE HATE FORNICATION THE ORIGINAL SIN". MY HUSBAND AND I PARTICIPATED IN THIS OBLIGATORY ACT ONLY A FEW TIMES TO BREED NEW FUNDAMENTALISTS. IT NEVER LASTED LONGER THAN 22 MINUTES AND WE ALWAYS FELT GUILTY AFTERWORDS

IF OUR PASTORS WANT TO GAIN CONTROL OF POLITICS TO REGISTER NON-MARRIED LOVERS AND SHAMELESS HOMOSEXUALS TO PUNISH THEM BY PRISON OR DEATH WHY SHOULD I QUESTION THEM? AFTER ALL, I'M

ONLY A WOMAN.

1. Keep a good supply of condoms on hand so you have them easily available every time you need them. Store them in a cool, dry place.

2. Do not test a rubber by inflating or stretching it.

3. Use condoms EVERY time you have sex! It's a good idea to use them for oral sex too.

4. Open the package carefully. Tearing it open is one of the ways rubbers can be damaged. WATCH OUT for long or jagged fingernails. 5. Gently press the air out of the receptacle tip before putting on the condom air bubbles can cause condoms to break. If you are using a plain-ended rubber, leave about a half inch free at the tip to catch the sperm.

6. Make sure the anus or vagina of the passive partner and the outside of the condom are well lubricated with a water soluble lubricant before entry. Holes that are too dry can pull condoms off and tear them as well. Oil based lubricants such as Crisco and Vaseline cause rubbers to deteriorate quickly.

7. Hold onto the base of the rubber when you need to so it won't slip off. If the active partner's penis is getting soft, or if the hole is real tight, the condom may tend to slip. Fingers held around the base sof the condom provide an effective solution.. 8. After ejaculating the active partner should gently withdraw befe his penis gets soft. He also should hold onto the condom around the base after ejaculating and while pulling out. This avoids spilling the cum or losing the rubber in a partner's hole.

9. Throw used rubbers away! Condoms should not be used more than once. People havin sex with multiple paners should NEVER go from having sex with one person to another without cleaning themselves well and changing rubbers. Continued
