Tips for using condoms

There are lots of good reasons to use condoms for fucking. Some guys like using condoms for anal sex because it makes fucking a lot cleaner. Using condoms also means not having to worry about getting or passing on HIV. Condoms can also help reduce the risk of getting or passing on other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) – like Hepatitis, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, or Chlamydia. Research shows that guys who use Tina are at greater risk for giving and receiving HIV, Hepatitis, and other STIs.

Some guys are increasingly willing to protect their playmates. Maybe you’re willing to experiment with condoms. Maybe you haven’t used condoms before and aren’t sure about the best ways to use them. Maybe you haven’t used them for fucking for a while but things have changed and you want to start again.

For those of you new or new again to condom use here’s a refresher course on the basics:

Where should I keep them?

• Have them handy so you don’t have to get up and interrupt your fun

• Keep condoms in a cool, dry place. Store them in places where they won’t get to hot or too cold – like a jacket pocket, or a bedside drawer. If they get baked in your car, replace them with fresh ones.

Before putting one on:

• There should be an expiry date on the condom pack, usually indicated as a month and a year. Don’t use one that is past, or close to, the expiry date. If you don’t see an expiry date, don’t use it: it’s probably a gimmick condom.

• Don’t use latex condoms that are lubricated with nonoxyl-9 (a spermicide), as this can irritate the lining of the ass, increasing your risk for HIV and other STI transmission.

• Squeeze the condom pack gently between your fingers. There should be air in the package. If there is no air, don’t use the condom since it has probably dried out.

• To open, squeeze the condom to one side of the package and tear the other side of the package open with your fingers. Don’t use your teeth as this increases the chance of tearing the condom.

• Squeeze and hold the tip of the condom while you roll it down your dick with your other hand. Leaving this little bit of room at the tip of the condom helps to hold the cum.

• Roll the condom down the shaft of the dick while holding on to the tip.
Make sure you roll it down as far as it will go.

Lube it Up!

• Apply water-based lube generously to the outside of the condom. If you’re getting fucked, make sure that your ass is well lubed. Keep adding lube while you fuck.

• Water-based lubes may need applying more often as they can dry out more quickly. Silicone-based lubes are more expensive but do not dry out as quickly. Oil-based lubes should never be used with latex condoms as they break down the latex, but they can be used with polyurethane condoms. Saliva (spit) is not a good lube choice since you can’t generate enough quantity and it dries out quickly.

While Fucking

• If you’re getting fucked, check with your hand to make sure the condom is still rolled to the base of the dick and to make sure it hasn’t slipped, been taken off, or torn.

• Tina can give the stamina to fuck for a long time. It’s really important to check that the condom is well lubricated, hasn’t torn or slipped off, and is changed every so often

When you're done:

• Pull your dick out while you’re still hard or the condom could come off inside his ass. Hold the base of the condom to keep it in place while you pull out.

• If you’re getting fucked, makes sure that your partner has pulled out with the condom still on his dick.

• To further reduce your risk, consider pulling out before you cum and shoot your load on your partner. (Just make sure not to aim in the eyes or where there might be a cut or sore!)

• Unroll the condom from your dick and tie a knot in it. Throw it in the garbage rather than flushing it down the toilet.

• Wash your dick with soap and warm water. It’s also a good idea to piss after you fuck.
