is condom 100% birth control?whats the rate! any tips?

Answer 1

Not 100% but still higher than 95% if you use it correctly. More effective if used with contraceptive foam or jelly. Never use any oil or oil based lubricants with condoms (like baby oil or vaseline!) They can cause breakdown of the latex plus those heavy oils are bad for the vagina.

First get the right type and size. If you need a Magnum (large size) get it. If you aren't that big, that's ok, most people aren't. Use the standard size. Some people like the ribbed condoms, some like the superthin but beware the superthin ones are more likely to break. If one of you is allergic to latex (it happens) the polyurethane ones are nice. Consider the female condom for a switch once in awhile, they are expensive though, hard to put on and make a weird rustling noise. Also, when you go to remove them afterwards, they are...er....messy!

Anyway, back to the male condom: use with a tiny dab of water soluble lube on the inside of the condom. This will make it feel more natural for the guy. Use lube on the girl too if you need it to give you that "bareback and wet" feeling you guys like so much.

Put them on before penetration. None of that "let's put it in for a minute, then take it out and put the condom on" Once you go bareback you won't want to put the condom on and you can have sperm in your precum. The key to their effectiveness is using them each time, every time. Once you have ejaculated, do not keep using the same condom or try to reuse!
