LONDON - An ill-fitting condom is not only more likely to break, but also reduces the pleasure of the couple, according to a study published this week in the medical journal British Medical Journal.
The right size
Researchers at the Kinsey Institute for Sex Research, Gender and Reproductive Health (EU) selected through newspaper ads and the blog of a brand of condoms to 436 men aged between 18 and 67, who answered a questionnaire on the use of condoms in their last sex with women. According to data from the survey, 45 percent of participants said that some of their relations over the past three months had used condoms that were not adjusted properly.
The difficulty in reaching orgasm to those who did not use condoms for their partners adjusted or multiplied by two when the size was not correct and the rate of those with rashes on the penis in their relationships was five times higher in those who did not use condoms of an appropriate size.
In addition, improper fit of condoms interfered when getting or maintaining an erection, breakage occurred at a frequency 2.5 times higher than when using a condom correctly and that the pair had made twice as likely to decide to remove the condom before completing intercourse.
The authors of this study, which raises the impact of ill-fitting condoms in sexual relations, acknowledged that the survey data are dependent on the veracity of the respondents' answers.
For researchers, the possibility that the condom would reduce sexual pleasure may discourage couples from using protection, so they believe it would be "beneficial" to health authorities strive to "promote the improvement in the fit of condoms .
Study co-author, Bill Yarber, said that pornography has distorted body image, so that "no man would buy condoms labeled as small or very small", hence the need for health authorities involved to raise awareness among couples in this regard.
The correct use of condoms
The National Institutes of Health (NHI) give the following recommendations on how to use a male condom
# The person should remove the condom from its package, being careful not to mistreat him out.
# If the condom has a little tip (receptacle) on the end to collect the semen, it should be placed on the tip of the penis and carefully roll the sides down the shaft of the penis.
# If there is a point you must leave a little space between it and the tip of the penis so that semen does not push the sides of the condom and out the base before the penis is removed from the vagina.
# Make sure there is no air between the penis and the condom, as this can cause its rupture.
A bit # unroll the condom before putting it on the penis allows enough space for the collection of semen and prevents the condom from being stretched too tightly over the penis.
# After ejaculation it is best to carefully remove the penis immediately after holding the condom at the base of the penis and holding it while the penis is removed.
# Do not carry condoms in your wallet for long periods can cause the condom breaks.
# Condoms should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat.
