How do you get the most pleasure from sex with a condom?
This week on Good Sex @ NYU, Danielle speaks with NYU Sexpert, Alyssa LaFosse about how to effectively use an internal and external condom. Alyssa demonstrates and provides tips for not just using condoms but how to discuss incorporating them into your routine.
Another very common "error" in condom effectiveness not mentioned in the podcast is starting to have vaginal or anal penetration without a condom, then stopping (before ejaculation) to put a condom on, and then resuming intercourse. That is also "not perfect" use, since pre-ejaculatory fluid (or "pre-cum") can contain STIs, HIV, or sperm, which could lead to infection or pregnancy. It's really important for a penis-havers to put a condom on *before* any penetration whatsoever.
If you have questions about internal or external condoms, lubs or how to negotiate condoms then tune into this episode especially on YouTube and consider listening to Good Sex @NYU season one episode 6 on communication, episode 8 on STIs and episode 22 on birth control. Additionally, Planned Parenthood and Bedsider are great resources for more information on sexual health.
