A barrier method of birth control, condoms are used during intercourse in order to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
Condoms are most often made of latex. However, for sufferers of a latex allergy, other options are available. There are two specific types of condoms, male condoms and female condoms. Male condoms are more widely used, and are the main focus of this page.
Depending on preference, condoms may be dry, lubricated, or contain spermicide.
A condom works by trapping semen after male ejaculation. As a result, bodily fluids are not passed between partners.
