First time? Fiftieth time? Use a condom for safety every time.

Hookup Tip by Shana

Whether you are thinking about having sex for the first time, or are in a committed relationship, condoms are the best way to protect against both pregnancy and STDs.  Here are some tips on how to use an external condom to prevent both:

  • Check the expiration date of the condom.
  • Open the package carefully and remove the condom.
  • Make sure the condom top is pointing up so that it can easily roll down the penis.
  • Pinch the tip of the condom to squeeze the air out.
  • Place the condom on and roll it all the way down.
  • After each ejaculation, carefully remove the condom making sure none of the semen drips out.
  • Throw it away!  Never reuse a condom twice!
  • Remember you can use external condoms for sex toys or during oral or anal sex, and internal condoms for safer anal sex too.
