Spermicide works to kill sperm. Alone it is not totally effective but it is added to a lot of other birth control methods (condoms, sponges, diaphragm, cervical cap) to increase their effectiveness. Just make sure your spermicide is designed to be used with your method or it can backfire. For example, some spermicides eat through the latex of condoms.
You can usually find it in the health section of any store on a shelf near the condoms. Read the directions for the spermicide because how you apply it, where you apply it and when you apply it can vary from brand to brand.
And spermicide may help protect against pregnancy but it does nothing against venereal diseases so it's best to add condoms to be safer against those.

Well it has "cide" at the end so its killing the sperm (Spermicide, homicide etc..)
You can get it at any drug store or store like Wal-Mart, Target. Or Planned Parenthood because it sounds like you need to talk to someone about this stuff
Condoms also have spermicide in them. Sexual Lubricants have spermicides too but it can cause small tears in the vaginal wall (ID is a spermicidal lubricant)
Its no more than 10.00 depending on the brand
Apply it directly to penis or on the condom. You should have another form of birth control because this is far from a 100% method

Most condoms you can buy have spermicide in them. All it is, is a fluid that kills sperm so the chances of you getting pregnant are really low.

you can find it in condoms. just look with the ones that say spermicidally lubricated. or you can find it at a drug store in a cream. it makes the sperm inactive in case say the condom broke or if you were having unprotected sex. its not %100 so always use another form of birthcontrol.

spermicide ties the sperm tails together so they can't move. You can find it at the Home depot for around 4 bucks per gallon, and you'll need a turkey baster to apply. Good luck!
