Question

u can't get pregnant if the condom didn't break right? and we switched a lot and didn't use the same one after. std's aren't a problem just getting pregnant. what kind of condom is the best? we used durex.

Answer 1

Male latex condoms are used both to protect against pregnancy and against sexually transmitted infections. How effective they are depends upon proper use. Breakage during intercourse, or slippage, will render the condom ineffective.

It seems that the reported rate of condom failure through slippage and breakage is significant. While 95% effectiveness of a contraceptive method sounds good, actually it leaves a woman with a chance of pregnancy which may be considered unacceptable. At 95% the odds are 7:1 against in any one year, rising to 33:1 against at 99%. As any follower of the turf could tell us, outsiders at 33:1 win races every day.


In case you are really interested, here are some examples from research in this area:

In France a random telephone survey of 20,000 individuals drew on 4,500 sexually active people, of whom 731 had used a condom in the previous year and 707 provided information on difficulties of use.
The rate of breakage at last use in heterosexual intercourse was 3.4% and the rate of slippage was 1.1%, for a total failure rate of 4.5%, or an effectiveness rate of 95.5%.

In Australia 3658 condoms were used by 184 men in a study which looked, inter alia, at penis size as a factor for breakage or slippage.
The rate of breakage was 1.34% and of slippage 2.05%, with a total failure rate of 3.39%. Penis size was not related to slippage, but penis circumference was strongly associated with breakage.

Ninety-two monogamous heterosexual couples (aged 18 to 40 for women, 18-50 for men) were enrolled in a prospective study of Durex Ramses condoms. At each sexual encounter a diary was completed which included information on condom use, and breaks and slips.
There were 4,637 attempts to use condoms. On six occasions the condoms broke before intercourse, leaving 4,631 condoms used for intercourse. Thirteen breaks occurred during intercourse (0.28%), and the total breakage rate was 0.41%. Complete slips were recorded on 29 occasions (0.63%) and 21 of these were recorded by the same couple. The overall failure rate of 0.91%, or an effectiveness rate of 99.1%. The total failure rate was 1.04%.

Bottom line:
To minimize the risk of pregnacy and STDs, either abstain from intercourse or use both:
1) a condom, and
2) oral contraceptives

Good luck!

Answer 2

there is definetly a risk no matter how careful you are. There is only a slight chance...1 in a hundred or so. If you are really worried go to a doctor or planned parenthood and talk to one of the specialist. You could always use a spermicide with the condom, that will make the odds even better. Sounds like you should be okay. but some of the people I know with kids used protection and still got pregnant. Good luck. Durex and Trojans seem to be the best from my experience.

Answer 3

The 2 principal methods anal intercourse maybe hazardous could be damage and sickness/STD dangers. Both of those will also be minimized and condoms will also be side of that plan. Anal intercourse generally is a nontoxic and pleasing enjoy in the event you hold a couple of matters in brain. SFSI's FAQ (see hyperlink under) offers tons of main points, however the principal recommendations are verbal exchange, lubrication, endurance, and security. Anal tissue is skinny and will tear without problems. Use tons of lube, take a while, and quit if there may be any ache. If you are making use of a condom, be certain you utilize water-headquartered lube with a latex condom; in the event you desire to make use of an oil-headquartered lube, be certain to make use of a polyurethane condom as a substitute of a latex condom. There are a few matters approximately feces throughout anal intercourse and the transmission of sicknesses. In ordinary, washing across the anus with hot water and cleaning soap is ample for eliminating micro organism. If you or your associate are worried approximately poop, a few individuals believe extra relaxed having anal intercourse after having an enema. Keep in brain that there are a few micro organism within the anal tract that SHOULD NOT get into the vagina. Using a condom can slash the threat of shifting micro organism into the vagina after anal intercourse on the grounds that you'll be able to difference to a brand new condom with no need to quit and wash. Condoms will also be useful in stopping the transmission of STDs. The SF City Clinic Risk Chart lists many STDs that may be transmitted throughout anal intercourse adding gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, herpes, and syphilis. If neither associate has an STD, then you're no longer at threat.

Answer 4

You CAN get pregnant even when you use a condom, regardless of whether it breaks or not. Condom's are NOT, and never have been, 100% effective in birth control. They are also NOT 100% effective in protecting you from STDs.

Latex condoms are generally considered the best. But some people are allergic to latex!

Answer 5

Nothing is 100% safe.
Even if it didnt break, there is always a chance that there might b a tiny microscopic hole and it can go through.
Have u ever thought on going on some kind of contraceptive?
Its free at a clinic and your parents dont have to know.
The safest way is abstenance.
If u use a contraceptive and he uses one, u can still get pregnant there is always a chance, but the chances r much more reduced.
