use condoms

    Be safer, use condoms 

Condoms can help prevent pregnancy, HIV 
and STDs Condoms come in a variety of types
and sizes. They can be used for vaginal, anal
and oral sex.  There are condoms for men and
for women.

Latex - Most condoms are made out of latex, a kind of rubber.
Polyurethane - There are also plastic (polyurethane) condoms.  These are good 
for people with allergies to latex.

Lubricated - Lubricated condoms contain slippery stuff (lube) that may make 
sex feel better and may prevent irritation.  Most lubes are water-based and are
safe touse with latex.  Lubes that contain oils like Vaseline and lotion cause
latex condomsto break, so they should not be used.  Some lubes may contain
a chemical that killssperm (spermicide).Note:Nonoxynol-9 (N-9) is one 
spermicide used in some condoms that may cause allergic reactions for some
people and increase their risk of getting HIV infection.  Condoms or lube with
N-9 should not be used.  If condoms have N-9in them, it will say on the label,
so be sure to check.
Non-lubricated -Condoms that r used for oral sex may
b flavored and most r not lubed.
Flavored and joke condoms - Some condoms, like 
ones that glow in the dark or havefunny pictures on
them, are made as jokes & should not be used for 
vaginal or anal sex.
Internal condoms - Condoms that are typically marketed
for women that are insertedinto the vagina for vaginal sex
or inside an anus for anal sex.

Condoms are easily available in a wide 
variety of places.
You can find condoms at grocery stores, drugstores
,health centers and online.There may even be
places near u where u can find free or low-cost condoms.

Condoms only work when you use them correctly.
Carry condoms with you and put one on before having sexual contact. 
Practice putting them on and try to talk with your partner about condom
before you have sex. Do noT use expired condoms.
Using condoms the right way, every time you have sex can help protect you
from:
unplanned pregnancy,
HIV (the virus that causes AIDS)
and other STDs (sexually 
transmitted diseases).
Condoms may help protect u from most STDs, but work best againstdiseases
passed through fluids(like semen&vaginal fluid)rather thanthose passed skin-to-skin.


For some people, condoms may make sex feel better or last longer.
Using condoms may also help you to talk with your partner and to feel more
relaxed about being together. 


How do you use condoms?
Try to use condoms every time you have sex.  Put one on an erect (hard)
penis before it touches your partner's genitals (sex parts).

1.  Squeeze the package to make sure there is
air in it.

2. Open the package - be careful not to tear
the condom!

3. Squeeze the tip of the condom to keep out
air bubbles and to leave room for the ejaculate
(semen).

4. Unroll it onto your erect (hard) penis - all
the way to the base if you can.

5. After you ejaculate, hold on to the condom
so semen does not spill out and pull out while
the penis is still hard.

6. Hold the base of the condom while you
remove it so you don't spill any semen.

7. Tie off the end of the condom and throw it
in the trash.
