Answer 1

You really do not need to know this.

Answer 2

What Is It?
Condoms are considered a barrier method of contraception. There are male condoms and female condoms. A male condom is a thin latex (a type of rubber) sheath that is worn on the penis. A female condom is a polyurethane sheath with a flexible ring at either end. One end is closed and is inserted into the vagina, the other end is open and the ring sits outside the opening of the vagina. The male condom is far more widely used and is sometimes often called a "rubber" or "prophylactic."

How Does It Work?
The condom works by keeping semen (the fluid that contains sperm) from entering the vagina. The male condom is placed on a guy's penis when it becomes erect. It is unrolled all the way to the base of the penis while holding the tip of the condom to leave some extra rubber. This creates a space for semen after ejaculation and makes it less likely that the condom will break.
After the guy ejaculates, he should hold the condom at the base of the penis as he pulls out of the vagina. He must do this while the penis is still erect to prevent the condom from slipping off when he gets soft. If this happens, sperm could enter the vagina.
The female condom is inserted into the vagina using the closed-end ring. The other ring creates the open end of the condom. The sheath then lines the walls of the vagina creating a barrier between the sperm and the cervix. The male and female condoms should not be used at the same time because they can get stuck together and cause one or the other to slip during intercourse, making them ineffective. The female condom can be inserted up to 8 hours prior to intercourse.
A used condom should be thrown in the garbage, not down the toilet. Once a condom is used, it cannot be reused. A new condom should be used each time you have sex and it must be used from start to finish every time you have sex to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Never use oil-based lubricants such as mineral oil, petroleum jelly, or baby oil with condoms because the these substances can break down the rubber.
And if a condom ever seems dry, sticky, or stiff when it comes out of the package, or if it is past its expiration date, throw it away and use a new one. It's a good idea to have several condoms on hand in case there is a problem with one. It's best to store unused condoms in a cool, dry place.


How Well Does It Work?
Over the course of 1 year, 15 out of 100 typical couples who rely on male condoms alone to prevent pregnancy will have an accidental pregnancy. The use of the female condom is a little less reliable and 21 out of 100 couples will have an unintended pregnancy. Of course, these are average figures and the chance of getting pregnant depends on whether you use this method correctly and every time you have sex. In fact studies show that, although it's possible for condoms to break or slip during intercourse, the most common reason that condoms "fail" is that the couple fails to use one at all.
Experts used to think that using spermicide with a condom would decrease the pregnancy rate as well as help fight against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). However, more recent information indicates that this is not necessarily true and spermicide does not help make condoms more effective.
In general, how well each type of birth control method works depends on a lot of things. One factor is whether the method chosen is convenient — and whether the person remembers to use it correctly all the time.

Abstinence (not having sex) is the only method that always prevents pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

Answer 3

Spelled condom, it is a piece of plastic that aids in protecting the couple from STDs and, in the case of men and women having vaginal intercourse, it can help prevent pregnancy by creating a barrier the sperm cannot get through. There are both male and female versions, although the male one is much more popular. In the case of the male version, the condom is rolled onto the penis, making sure to keep a small air pocket in the front for the sperm to go (and so it will be less likely to break). Some of them have lubricant, spermicide, or are ribbed to give pleasure or additional protection against pregnancy. The female condoms are tube shaped and are inserted into the vagina. For more information on them see the website below. They can be obtained in bathrooms, a planned parenthood (these are free), any drug store (like CVS), etc.
However, I feel responsible for saying that sex is not something that should be done lightly and the younger the female is the more painful and destructive it can be. But if you do plan on having sex, safe sex is the way to go.
Hope that helped.

Answer 4

If it's a condom your talking about - it is used to prevent pregnancy and STD's. The man puts it on before sex, he unrolls it down the shaft of his penis and leaves a little room at the top for when he ejaculates.. And anyway if your asking this then you really don't need to know what a condom is... But hey maybe this is the only place where you can ask this Q, who am I to judge?..

Answer 5

a condom(which is what I assumed you meant) is a device used to prevent pregnancies among couples who wish to partake in sexual relationships.

I would like to add that although there are ways to prevent pregnancies, you should not become involved in sexual relations until you are old enough to handle the consequences.

It is always OK to ask questions and be curious. Don't be afraid to ask an adult questions. They can help you the most!

Answer 6

Uh. It's spelled CONDOM, and it is protection against aids and pregnancy when you have sex. It is rubber and before you have sex the guy rolls it over his slanky. It could breack so it's not 100% guarenteed not to get you pregnant or get an STD but it's better to use it than not to. You should really be asking your parents about this. Anyway, yeah.

A condom is a device, much like a balloon, that a man puts over his penis. The condom stops his sperm from entering the woman, or other partner. So the condom prevents pregnancy. The condom alos prevents sexually transmitted diseases from being passed to the partner.

Answer 8

It's a rubber device placed on the erect penis which when inserted into a woman's vagina or someone's bottom stops the flow of body fluids from the penis into the surrounding area or back into the penis. Stop pregnacy and the spread of HIV and other diseases. See your local drug store for condoms.
