Having applied the condom correctly as described in part two, everything is ready to partake in intercourse in this part of the series I wish to discuss safety in performance. In order to minimise all STI risks to the lowest possible, some people do use condoms for oral sex a dental or oral dam for providing oral to women. If this is the case then the condom needs to be changed before engaging in intercourse.
Over time with experience I found the following common factors present when condom splits occured;
Condom pulled tightly over the glans (head) of the penis
Lack of lubrication
Hard thrusting
Exit and re-entry on each stroke
I covered the first in part two lubrication can be provided by a water based lubricant my preference being Liquid Silk, I also use Love Honey and Bondara's own branded water based lubricants. Lubricants with flavour or added zing can be pleasant to irritating, so I tend to stick to tried and tested basics. It may also be worth knowing a woman's lubrication comes from inside her vagina, parting her labia gently with your fingers may reveal lubrication but please do check before you go delving, this is a delicate area for women and a jagged nail can cause distress as can a rough unlubricated finger. Do be aware oils including massage oils and petroleum jelly for example vaseline, weaken latex as well as some non-latex condoms.
During intercourse enjoy yourself of course but try to avoid the porn-star style exit and reentry, this really is not compatible with condom durability. Do be aware that condoms can sometimes almost come off with sudden withdrawl, something to be aware of for example when changing position. Another risk point is immediately after ejaculation, continuing to thrust after ejaculation can force the fluid down towards the base. Condoms with a ring base are not a total seal particularly if the penis is softening, the condom can become loose and fluid leak out. Pasante Unique condoms do not have a ring at the base, particular care needs to be applied with these condoms - I recommend withdrawl much sooner than for standard condoms holding on to the base until the penis is clear of the genital area. Once withdrawn unroll a standard condom from the base, carefully peel off a Pasante Unique I like to knot condoms like a balloon, place in a small plastic bag s long with the packet and any wipes used before placing in a bin. I like to wipe excess fluid away with either a clean towel, or water wipes. Please do not flush condoms down the toilet, condoms cause challenges for both water treatment works and waterways so always best to discard into the bin.
I may add to and edit this entry when I have a reread, but for now I hope this series has been interesting and educational where ever needed.
