Penis Protection

Condoms are far from being a new invention for penis protection against sexually transmitted diseases, as evidence has proven that condoms have been around for 3,000 years or more. The first condoms intended to protect the penis from sexually transmitted diseases, as well as prevent pregnancy, were often made of materials such as animal intestines and linen. Condoms were not made from rubber until after 1844, when condoms made of rubber were patented, beginning the mass production of rubber condoms made to protect the penis against sexual transmitted diseases, as well as prevent unwanted pregnancy from occurring. The following paragraphs will briefly discuss modern condoms, how they work, and how to use one to protect your penis and prevent unwanted pregnancy.

A modern day condom, designed for penis protection and pregnancy prevention, is commonly a thin sheath designed to be placed over top of an erect penis in order to offer protection during sexual encounters. Modern day condoms are most commonly made from:

• latex
• lamb skin
• polyurethane

Modern day condoms are available in a wide variety of lengths, widths, and thicknesses to ensure you can get a perfect fit.

With condoms, a perfect fit is extremely important for various reasons. A condom that is too tight on your penis is more likely to break, thus decreasing your protection. But on the other hand, a condom that is too loose may slip off your penis during sexual intercourse, causing you to have no protection at all from sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies.

The ways condoms work are quite simple. To protect from unwanted pregnancy, a condom will hold all semen inside, preventing it from ever entering the woman's vagina. This prevents unwanted conception. In the same sense, condoms protect your penis from sexually transmitted diseases in the same fashion. By blocking the exchange of bodily fluids that could be infected, a condom provides the absolute best protection against contracting a sexually transmitted disease.

Condoms are not only an important way to protect your penis, but they are very easy to use. To properly put a condom on your penis, you must place it over the top, and gently unroll the condom down the shaft of your penis. You must always remember to leave room at the top of the condom, for it to have room to collect the sperm in the tip. Lubricated condoms help prevent tears in the condom, during application, or during actual intercourse. If you intend to use our own lubricant, you should remember to only use lubricants that are water based. Mineral based lubricants can weaken the strength of the condom, and cause it to break.

Condoms have come a long way over the centuries, but they have always been designed to achieve the same ultimate goals - to protect. Not only do condoms protect your penis from sexually transmitted diseases, but they also aid in the prevention of unwanted pregnancy. Before having sexual intercourse, it is always wise to wear a condom.
