What Is a Condom, and How Does It Help in Safe Sex and Contraception? - #15414
I recently started learning about condoms, and I wanted to understand more about how they work and their effectiveness. From what I understand, a condom is a thin sheath worn during sexual intercourse to prevent pregnancy and protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), but what are the different types of condoms available? I read that there are latex condoms, polyurethane condoms, and natural membrane condoms, but how do they compare in terms of protection, comfort, and durability? Are certain types better suited for people with latex allergies? One thing that concerns me is the failure rate of condoms. What factors increase the chances of a condom breaking or slipping, and how can one ensure maximum protection? Are there any natural or Ayurvedic contraceptive methods that are as effective as condoms? I’ve heard that Neem and Queen Anne’s Lace have been used for birth control—do these actually work? If anyone has experience using different types of condoms, what worked best for you in terms of comfort, safety, and reliability? Did you notice any side effects, such as irritation or allergic reactions?
