Thread: cool condom facts (tehe)

Don't ask me why but I was curious so I found some facts about condoms that I didn't know. lol. They helped ease my mind and be able to put more confidence in the little latex buggers. haha. Maybe they will help ease the minds of others too? =)

~In one year, only two of every 100 couples who use condoms consistently and correctly will experience an unintended pregnancy.

~In one year with perfect use (meaning couples use condoms consistently and correctly at every act of sex), 98 percent of women relying on male condoms will remain pregnancy free.

~Several studies clearly show that condom breakage rates in this country are less than two percent. Most of the breakage and slippage is likely due to incorrect use rather than to the condoms' quality.

2 out of 100 couples ... great
98% not pregnant ... great
2% breakage rate ... great

Does this mean I'm gonna have sex all the time? no! lol But it definately helps if the situation ever arises =)

hahaha! that's great! That's one of the coolest useless facts i've ever heard =) ... but it does make you want to try fitting it over a car ... don't worry I won't dip condoms in milk before sex. lol.

The most common reasons for condom failure.

*Improper lube. Some lubricants actually eat away at the latex in condoms. Please check that your lube is latex friendly (will say on the bottle)

*Genital piercings

*Not enough lube (fiction is not a condoms friend)

*Improper anal sex. An un-stretched butt can rip a condom very easily (Like before you can get in all the way).

Lots of stretching (fingers, buttplugs, rectal dilators), and you can't use too much latex-friendly lube.
