What is the work of a condom in sex?

Answer 1

To block sperm from entering the vagina...thus preventing stds and pregnancy. However, condoms are by no means 100% effective.

Answer 2

It is a 'Barrier Method' of contraception which means it helps prevent sperm coming into contact with the vagina. It is like a balloon so is very thin and must me applied very carefully as incorrect wearing can cause it to split thus it is useless as a barrier. It is also a good defence against sexually transmitted diseases and is essential if you are having sex with someone you are not too familiar with as well as someone who you do not wish to have children with.

Some condoms also contain spermicide which kill sperm as soon as they enter the condom which are a little safer.

I suggest you buy a pack and read the leaflet inside as this will tell you everything you need to know.

Answer 7

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.

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 a 2% per-year pregnancy rate.[1] Condoms may be combined with other forms of contraception (such as spermicide) for greater protection.[2]

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.[3] While the disadvantage might reach a loss of the erection, or a loss of the pleasure of lovemaking.

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.[5]

Latex condoms are the most distributed type of condom in the world and there are thousands of variants in regards to size, thickness, and texture. The most popular variants of the standard condom are condoms with a ribbed or studded texture, those that come in different colors or scents, and those marketed as larger sized condoms. [6] There are also condoms available that are lubricated with a very small amount of Benzocaine (usually under 4%). The use of Benzocaine with the lubrication on the inside of the condom produces a slight numbing sensation for the male and is meant to help him prolong sexual activity before climax.[7]

Some latex condoms are lubricated at the manufacturer with a small amount of Nonoxynol-9, a spermicidal chemical. According to Consumer Reports, spermicidally lubricated condoms have no additional benefit in preventing pregnancy, have a shorter shelf life, and may cause urinary-tract infections in women.[8] Nonoxynol-9 was once believed to offer additional protection against STDs (including HIV) but recent studies have shown the opposite to be the case. The World Health Organization says that spermicidally lubricated condoms should no longer be promoted. However, they recommend using a nonoxynol-9 lubricated condom over no condom at all.[9] In contrast, application of separately packaged spermicide is believed to increase the contraceptive efficacy of condoms.[2]

The Invisible Condom, developed at Université Laval in Québec, 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.
