A rubber, latex, or animal skin sheath that is placed over the penis to prevent sperm from reaching the egg and resulting in conception.<\/p>\n
A rubber sheath worn on the penis during intercourse as a contraceptive and also as a protection against sexually transmitted disease.<\/p>\n
The form of birth control that uses a thin, stretchable sheath over the penis to trap sperm, with an effectiveness that varies from 64 to 97 percent, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); also called prophylactic, rubber, or safe. In the age of aids, condoms also provide much-needed protection (although not 100 percent) against sexually transmit\u00ac ted diseases. For that purpose, the FDA notes that rubber condoms are more effective than those of natural material (lamb intestines), though the latter will be used by men who have an allergic reaction to the rubber condom. Some manufacturers have added a spermicide to the condoms to increase their effectiveness. Parents of sexually active children will want to urge them to use a condom during any sexual contact\u2014a discussion best had by parents before a child has his or her first sexual contact. Government and schools are also attempting to spread this word through sex education.<\/p>\n
Thin sheath, usually of rubber or plastic, placed over the penis and used during coitus as a protection against sexually transmitted disease (venereal disease) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and as a reasonably effective contraceptive.<\/p>\n
A thin sheath usually made of latex and placed over a man’s erect penis to prevent sperm from entering a woman’s vagina, helping to prevent pregnancy. Latex condoms also help prevent spread of disease through sexual intercourse. Other names for a condom include rubber and prophylactic. A polyurethane female condom that lines the vagina is also sold.<\/p>\n
A sheath made of latex rubber, plastic, or silk that is fitted over the penis during sexual intercourse. Use of a condom protects both partners against the transmission of venereal diseases and, carefully used, it is a reasonably reliable contraceptive (between 2 and 10 pregnancies per 100 woman-years).<\/p>\n
A thin rubber or plastic sheath placed over the erect penis before sexual iritercourse. It is the most effective type of barrier contraception and is also valuable in preventing the transfer between sexual partners of pathogenic organisms such as gonococci, which cause gonorrhoea, and human immuno-deficiency virus, which may lead to AIDS. Sheaths are most effective when properly used and with spermicides.<\/p>\n
A thin, flexible penile sheath made of synthetic or natural materials. Condoms are used commonly during sexual intercourse to prevent conception by capturing ejaculated semen. Latex condoms also shield against sexually transmitted infections. Their effectiveness is affected by careful handling (to avoid punctures, tears, or slippage), usage before sexual contact (to prevent inadvertent transmission of sperm or germs), and allowing sufficient space for ejaculation (to prevent condom rupture). To avoid damage to condoms, only water-soluble lubricants should be used to facilitate vaginal entry. Condoms should not be reused.<\/p>\n
A sheath that covers the penis during sexual intercourse and\u00a0 serves as a physical barrier to sperm and to most of the microorganisms that cause STDs.<\/p>\n
A condom is a slender protective covering designed to be worn over the penis during sexual intercourse. Its primary purposes are to prevent unwanted pregnancy and reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Condoms act as a barrier, preventing sperm from entering the vagina and reaching the cervix, thereby minimizing the chances of fertilization. Additionally, they provide a physical barrier that helps reduce the transmission of STIs by preventing direct contact between bodily fluids. It’s worth noting that there are also condoms specifically designed for female use, which are inserted into the vagina before intercourse. These female condoms offer similar protective benefits and function as a barrier against pregnancy and STIs. Proper and consistent use of condoms is an effective method for practicing safe sex and maintaining sexual health.<\/p>\n
Condoms, a barrier method of contraception, are designed as thin sheaths made of latex rubber or plastic. They are placed over the man’s penis prior to engaging in sexual intercourse. Apart from their contraceptive function, condoms also offer a level of protection against sexually transmitted infections.<\/p>\n
A thin covering, typically made of rubber, used to cover the penis during sexual intercourse to prevent both pregnancy and the transmission of infections.<\/p>\n
