Take the condom out of the packet, taking care not to tear it with jewellery or fingernails – do not open the packet with your teeth.
Place the condom over the tip of the erect cock.
If there’s a teat on the end of the condom, use your thumb and forefinger to squeeze the air out of it.
Gently roll the condom down to the base of the cock.
If the condom won’t roll down, you’re probably holding it the wrong way round – if this happens, throw the condom away because it may have cum on it, and try again with a new one.
After sex, withdraw the cock while it’s still erect – hold the condom onto the base of the cock while you do this.
Remove the condom from the penis, being careful not to spill any semen.
Throw the condom away in a bin, not down the toilet.
Make sure the cock does not touch the partner’s genital area again.
If you have sex again, use a new condom.
If you have difficulty keeping an erection you may not be able to use condoms, as the cock must be erect to prevent cum leaking from the condom, or the condom slipping off.
