Answer 2

A condom is a device, usually made of latex, or more recently polyurethane, that is used during sexual intercourse. It is put on a male partner's penis, for the purpose of preventing pregnancy and/or transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV.

Male condoms are packaged in a rolled-up form, and are designed to be applied to the tip of the penis and then rolled over the erect penis. They are most commonly made from latex, but are also available in other materials. As a method of contraception, condoms have the advantage of being easy to use, having few side-effects, and of offering protection against sexually transmitted diseases. With proper knowledge and application technique - and use at every act of intercourse - condom users experience only a 2% per-year pregnancy rate. Condoms may be combined with other forms of contraception (such as spermicide) for greater protection.

Some couples find that putting on a male condom interrupts sex, although others incorporate condom application as part of their foreplay. Some men and women find the physical barrier of a condom dulls sensation. Advantages of dulled sensation can include prolonged erection and delayed ejaculation.

Answer 3

A condom is a piece of rubber that the male slips over his sexual organ before engaging in sex, to help avoid getting the female pregnant and/or prevent catching a disease.

This is what they don't tell you: When a doctor performs an operation, they use that same type of rubber, only they double and triple up on it..they put several gloves on, because they know that it's not safe to put on just one. Yet, the people pushing condoms seem to omit that information. Condoms give you the illusion of safety but they are not safe.

Materials:

Latex
Most modern condoms are made of latex. This material has outstanding elastic properties. Tensile strength exceeds 30 MPa. Condoms may be stretched in excess of 800% before breaking.[4] Natural latex condoms have a minimum thickness of 0.046 mm.

Polyurethane
Polyurethane can be considered better than latex in several ways: it conducts heat better than latex, is not as sensitive to temperature and ultraviolet light (and so has less rigid storage requirements and a longer shelf life), can be used with oil-based lubricants, is less allergenic than latex, and does not have an odor.

Polyurethane condoms can be thinner than latex condoms, with some polyurethane condoms only 0.02 mm thick.[7]

However, polyurethane condoms are more likely to slip or break than latex,[8] are more expensive, and may not be as effective in protecting against STDs (large clinical trials have not been performed).

Lambskin
Condoms made from one of the oldest condoms materials, labeled "lambskin" (made from lamb intestines) are still available. They have a greater ability to transmit body warmth and tactile sensation, when compared to synthetic condoms, and are less allergenic than latex. However, there is a great risk of transmitting STDs because of pores in the material. While the pores are not large enough to allow sperm out, much smaller bacteria and viruses may easily slip in and out between the condom.

INVISIBLE
The Invisible Condom, developed at Universite Laval in Quebec, Canada, is a gel that hardens upon increased temperature after insertion into the vagina or rectum. In the lab, it has been shown to effectively block HIV and herpes simplex virus. The barrier breaks down and liquefies after several hours. The invisible condom is in the clinical trial phase, and has not yet been approved for use.

FORM
In recent decades, condom makers have diversified in colors, shapes, and thicknesses. Flavors or designs thought to have stimulating properties are sometimes added. Such stimulating properties include enlarged tips or pouches to fit the glans penis better and textured surfaces such as ribbing or studs (small bumps). Many condoms have spermicidal lubricant added, but it is not an effective substitute for separate spermicide use. Most condoms have a reservoir tip, making it easier to leave space for the man's ejaculate. Condoms also come in different sizes, from magnum to snug. The average dimensions of a condom are: Length: 190 mm, circumference: 52 mm, thickness: 0.07 mm.

Testing

In 1990 the ISO set standards for production (ISO 4074, Natural latex rubber condoms) and the EU followed suit with its CEN standard (Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices).

Condoms are tested with an electrical current for holes. If the condom passes, it is rolled and packaged. Batches of condoms are tested for breakage with air inflation tests.
