I will let wikipedia answer this ackward question :

"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's penis and physically blocks ejaculated semen from entering the body of a sexual partner. Condoms are used to prevent pregnancy, transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs - such as gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV), or both."

A latex condom is a rubber sheath a man puts over his penis during sex to catch sperm-which helps prevent pregnancy-and also catches the semen (the liquid the sperm is in), which can contain sexually transmitted infections, like gonorrhea, HIV or Hepatitis. Some condoms have spermicidal gel in them as well, which kills the sperm in the condom.

There is also a female condom, which fits inside a woman's vagina and serves the same purpose. The female condom can be inserted prior to sex.

Condoms are not 100% effective, as they can break (although this is rare) and must be put on the penis as soon as it is erect (hard), before it is inserted into the body (vagina, anus/rectum/mouth). Some men find it 'kills the moment'. Condoms also cannot necessarily protect against sexually transmitted diseases like herpes, genital warts or crabs/lice, because they do not cover the entire genital region (testicles/scrotum, pubic hair, anus(the opening the bowel movements come out of), perineum (in women, the area between the birth canal and the anus, in men, the area between the scrotum (where the tesitcles are) and the anus), just the penis.

Condoms can also come in non-latex varieties, for those allergic to latex.

It is a latex sheath worn over the penis during sex so the ejaculate doesn't get into the vagina and up the cervix into the uterus to possibly impregnate the partner. It also covers the penis completely so it can reduce the possibility of transmitting STD's from or to the partner.
(It is kinda like a balloon a guy puts his penis in)...Got it ?
Good!

Condoms are made from several materials... rubber is one... and latex is another... latex is that semi transparent material they use to make surgery gloves, for example.

Yeah this is been a on an analogous time as on the grounds which you have been here. I play gittar and sing, and that i do it for many diverse motives. I found out a thank you to play so i ought to get laid, yet then I enjoyed the sound it made so I even did it (very corresponding to intercourse) whilst i replaced into thoroughly on my own. it somewhat is a huge thank you to blow off steam and relieve rigidity, too. as quickly as I write song and lyrics, i'm in simple terms attempting to create something significant (even frivolous meanings are nonetheless meanings) and not too blatantly ripped off, so i assume this is an artwork form or a minimum of an attempt at one. I hate listening to something I wrote although. as quickly as I jam with my band (we are commonly retired as a band) or with pals, I do it in simple terms because of fact this is exciting and severe. a sturdy jam to a musician is almost a sturdy meal to a gourmand or a tricky-gained victory to a jock, because of fact this is somewhat pleasing. yet as quickly as I play stay, this is optimal back to getting laid. even although i'm married and don't do this, even although i'm too previous and grotesque to do it if i replaced into single, I nonetheless play like that. I throw strikes and get into the playing in simple terms like I did in my late little ones and 1920s, because of fact getting laid has little to do with song yet each and every little thing to do with rock and roll. BQ: My finger hurts. I injured it at artwork. BQ2: this is healing precise and that i'm envisioned to make an entire restoration. it somewhat is rather chuffed, in spite of the actuality that it nonetheless hurts.
