Today's condoms designed to entice and excite.
Today's condoms are light, comfortable and designed for pleasure as well as protection. They are designed to entice and excite.
A number of different types of condoms are available. What is generally referred to as a condom is the 'male' condom, a sheath, closed at one end, which fits over a man's penis. Although, there is also now a female condom, a vaginal sheath, which fits inside a woman's vagina.
Condoms are usually made of latex or polyurethane. The most popular material is the latex. Latex is also the most effective against sexually transmitted diseases and viruses.
Condoms come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Flavored ones are even available to make oral sex more enjoyable. You and your partner should decide based on your personal preferences and what brings you the most satisfaction.

Some condoms are also available with a spermicide added, which can add additional protection should any semen leak out. (A note of warning: spermicides can cause an allergic reaction in some people.
There is no standard size for condoms. They vary in size - both length and width - by manufacturer. And although no size standards exist, most will stretch to fit the man's erect penis.
When used properly and consistently condoms are:
- Only contraceptive that helps prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (including HIV)
- One of the most reliable methods of birth control
- No side effects (unlike other contraceptives and birth control pills)
- Are widely available - you don't need a prescription.
- Only needed while you're engaged in sex (unlike other contraceptives that may require you take them on a regular basis)
There remains a lot of misinformation about condom effectiveness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) studied the issue and found some of the most common myths were:
- They are ineffective: The fact is, when they are used properly, latex condoms are highly effective for pregnancy prevention. Research shows that as few as 30% of men who use them for contraception actually use them every time or correctly.
- They don't stop the HIV virus: A commonly held misperception is that latex condoms contain "holes" that allow passage of HIV. Studies show that intact latex condoms, when used correctly, provide a continuous barrier to HIV, other viruses and microorganisms, and sperm.
- They frequently break: Several studies show that breakage rates are less than 2 percent and that most breakage is due to incorrect usage, poor quality, weakening due to exposure to heat or sunlight, or tears done by teeth or fingernails.
When used properly and consistently, condoms offer one of, if not the best ways to reduce the risk for sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy.
