Condoms come ready-rolled and most end in a teat, which catches the semen.

Expel the air from the teat at the tip of the condom by squeezing it.

Place the opening of the condom on the head of the penis.

Unroll it down the shaft to fit comfortably.

When fully unrolled, the condom should extend almost to the base of the penis and fit like a second skin, feeling silky and smooth.

After ejaculation, the condom should be removed carefully to prevent spillage. First, the man withdraws his penis from the woman's vagina, holding the condom securely to his penis so as not to leave it behind. Then he removes it and disposes of it. Of course, care must always be taken that any semen left on the penis does not get transferred -- on the fingers, for example -- to the woman's vagina.

Putting on a condom can be fun. Some women enjoy doing this for their partners. You can use your lips and tongue to help your fingers unroll the condom down the shaft of the penis -- but be careful not to snag the delicate material with your nails or jewellery.
