How to put on a condom

1. Open package at one corner, being careful not to tear into the condom… sharp fingernails or rough handling can damage the latex. Be sure package and condom appear to be in good condition. Check the expiration date if it has one.

2. Squeeze the tip of the condom. This is to eliminate air bubbles as you unroll it onto an erect penis. Leaving the tip empty helps reduce the chance of breakage and allows room for the ejaculation fluid (cum).

3. Unroll the condom fully, to base of penis, if possible. The proper fit is important and there are a lot of different styles available. There ARE different sizes of condoms available.

4. After intercourse, withdraw while the penis is still erect, and hold onto the base of the condom to prevent contents from spilling.
