If it doesn't have any holes in it, why should I throw it away?
Don't worry, I'm only having sex with one person.

Just turn it inside out, right? Get a grip! You wear the thing to provide protection for someone you care about (in theory anyway) it won't provide the level of protection a new one will, so why use it more than once? If you're with someone you care about then you should stop being cheap with protection, she deserves better, and by using one you are implying that you are giving her that protection. Besides, it can come down to a simple cost comparison - the price of one rubber vs. the cost of 18 years of child support.
If it's not someone you care about protecting, how about protecting yourself? AIDS is a virus - there can be hundreds of thousands of viral copies in one cc of blood. Sure, it's less than that in secretions but just how lucky do you feel? Time to grow up a bit, if you can't afford the protection how the hell will you afford the medicines, or child support? Even if you don't see any holes, it's been weakened. How would you like to find a 3 inch long tear in it when you're done? Good Luck

Can You Reuse A Condom

DO NOT reuse male condoms - latex is very fragile and the act of having sex puts it under wear. They are meant only to withstand once. Furthermore, it is possible for them to have tiny holes you could not see with your eye, making them unsafe. Also, there is no way to know if there is still sperm in or on the condom.
Try and find a local health clinic that offers free condoms.

You can only use a condom just once, not twice or three times.... You can get a girl pregnant like that and that's just plain nasty, and gross... Use common sense, this is something you suppose to learn in sex education

You shouldn't reuse it. It might get too much semen in it and burst. Condoms are designed to hold up for only one act of sex each.

the reason you are not supposed to re-use the condom is because of heat and friction. your own body heat can start to put stress on the condom. if you were to wash it and re-use it, you could be at risk of micro sized holes that the sperm could get threw.

You don't know if it has holes in it. Throw it out and use a new one each and every time!
