Condoms

  • What is condoms actually?
  • What does it for?
  • How does it works?
  • What is condoms made of?



There are many questions over many children's mind.


How Does It Work?
Condoms work by keeping semen (the fluid that contains sperm) from entering the vagina. The male condom is placed on a guy's penis when it becomes erect (and before any sexual contact). It is unrolled all the way to the base of the penis while holding the tip of the condom to leave some extra room at the end. This creates a space for semen after ejaculation and makes it less likely that the condom will break.


The two main function of condoms basically is:
  • Prevent from pregnancy
  • Stop spreading sexually transmitted diseases (i.e: HIV)
Mainly condoms are made from latex nowadays but there is also another type of materials such as sheep intestine, polyurethane.


Latex condoms 
  • With oil-based lubricant. 
  • likely to slip off due to loss of elasticity caused by the oils.
     
Latex(rubber) structure




Polyurethane condoms 
  • Same width and thickness as latex condoms.
  • 0.04 mm and 0.07 mm thick. 
  • Material of many female condoms.


Lambskin condoms  
  • Made from lamb intestines. 
  • Greater ability to transmit body warmth and tactile sensatio. 
  • Cause fewer allergenic reactions than latex.  
  • Increased risk of transmitting STDs compared to latex because of pores in the material, are large enough to allow infectious agents to pass through. 


All condoms are more comfortable for both partners when use with additional or latex-safe lubricants. 
Lubricants reduce friction during sexual intercourse, which lessen the risks of breakage by keeping the barrier moist and in doing so, also help ensure that genitals remain moist enough to make barrier use more pleasurable.


Nonoxynol-9
  • N-9.
  • Non-ionic nonoxynol surfactantthat used to cleaning and cosmetic products.
  • Widely used in contraceptives for its spermicidal properties.
  • Active ingredient in most spermicidal creams, jellies, foams, gel, film, and suppositories.
