male condoms
 

Try to use condoms every time you have sex. Put one on an erect (hard) penis before it touches your partner’s genitals (sex parts).

1.
Squeeze the package to make sure there is air in it.

2.
Open the package - be careful not to tear the condom!

3.
Squeeze the tip of the condom to keep out air bubbles
and to leave room for the ejaculate (semen).

4.
Unroll it onto your erect (hard) penis –
all the way to the base if you can.

5.

After you ejaculate, hold on to the condom so semen
does not spill out and pull out while the penis is still hard.

6.

Hold the base of the condom while you remove
it so you don’t spill any semen.

7.

Tie off the end of the condom and throw it in the trash.
