Latex Condoms - Are They Really Safe?

By Navneet Brar

Whenever anybody talks about safe sex, the only one thing that comes to our minds is the use of condoms. There is nothing to be embarrassed about this. After all, the whole creation on this earth is the outcome of sex between the two members of the opposite sex. So, lets talk about the use of condoms to have safe sex.
If you use a latex condom correctly and consistently, and avoid sexual practices then you are lowering the risk of contracting AIDS and other STDs like chlamydia infections, genital herpes, gonorrhea, veneral warts and syphilis. But this does not mean that condoms will completely eliminate your risk of contracting these highly contagious diseases.
Sometimes, these condoms are made of animal membrane and the pores in such natural SKIN condoms may allow the HIV (AIDS virus) to pass through. So, this is the reason why latex condoms are highly recommended.
Conditions for Safe Sex
1. the condom you are using should be undamaged
2. apply it before the genital contact
3. remain intact until the condom is removed on completion of the sexual activity
4. extra lubrication (or with lubricated condoms) is recommended to prevent condom breakage
5. only water-based lubricants should be used as oil-based lubricants can cause breakage of condom
Female Condoms
A female condom will reduce the risk of contracting an STD. It is said that most of the female-directed contraception like contraceptive pills, do not provide that much protection against STDs. But some studies claim that the use of the spermicide nonoxynol-9 decreases the frequency of some of the STDs like gonorrhea and chlamydial infection.
Now, after this piece of information, won't you like to go for water-based condoms that are extremely safe to use and protect you from HIV- a virus causing AIDS and other STDs! So, here is all about latex condoms use that you need to know for a better sex life.
For more entertainment, go for information on sexuality and enhance your sex life. Make it rocking!!!
