How to Use a Condom Correctly, Teen

Using a condom correctly and consistently is important for preventing pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Condoms work by blocking contact with bodily fluids that can result in pregnancy or spread infection. This is called the barrier method.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONDOMS?
There are both male and female condoms. A male condom is a thin sheath that fits over an erect penis. Male condoms can be made from different materials, including:
• Latex.
• Polyurethane. This is a type of plastic.
• Synthetic rubber.
• Lambskin or other natural membranes.
Male condoms can be lubricated or unlubricated.
A female condom is a thin pouch inserted into the vagina. An …show more content…

• Wrap the condom in tissue or toilet paper and discard it in a trash can. Do not flush it down the toilet.
• Do not use the same condom more than once. Use a new condom every time you have sex. Female condom
• Store condoms in a cool, dry place.
• Before using a condom:
○ Check the package to make sure it is not past its expiration date.
○ Make sure that both the package and the condom do not have any holes, rips, or tears in them.
○ Make sure that the condom is not brittle or discolored.
• Place the condom inside your vagina before engaging in any contact with your partner's penis. To do this:
○ Squeeze the inner ring and insert it into the vagina like a tampon.
○ Use your index finger to push it into place. There should be about one inch of condom outside of the vagina to expand during sex.
○ Make sure the outer part of the condom completely covers the labia.
• Female condoms are already lubricated. You can also use water-based or silicone-based lubricants with female condoms. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
• Your partner should withdraw his penis shortly after ejaculating. Before you stand up, grasp the condom. Twist the outer part slightly to hold in fluid and carefully remove

    I will defiantly remember this for the test. The only other things that I think would have the same effect on your class as condoms do would be tampons, birth control, Plan B, or maybe a pregnancy test. All of those would get a reaction because they are all uncomfortable topics. I'm 19 and I still hide my tampons when I have to go to the bathroom, I mean dang it's a normal thing for a female and I still get embarrassed. So if you want a reaction tampons would be a great one, but the other three would get one as well. Thank you for showing us how the sociological imagination applies in our everyday lives.

  • The Problem of Teen Pregnancy

    Red and blue lights are flashing and the noise of the ambulance impels everyone to a point where they have to look outside and observe the situation, as if a mystical force was compelling them. From what they can see, the paramedic is holding a tiny hand telling her to hold on. As the stretcher rolls by, the onlookers notice a huge lump, or ball as a few may say, under the pallid cotton covers. What they also take note of is that the pregnant woman is not a woman at all, but in fact a teenager. As some are astounded that a child is being born from a child, others possibly will look at it as a “blessing in disguise.” The issue of teenage pregnancy is affecting our society in innumerable ways and has become one of our top social issues of all time. “The latest estimates show that approximately 1 million teens become pregnant every year” (East, Felice, and Associates 1). With this high number of teenage pregnancy, it is no wonder that many authors try to exemplify this common subject matter. Katrina L. Burchett, author of Choices, accurately and effectively depicts teenage pregnancy among female adolescents living with domestic issues.

  • Freely Accessible Birth Control for Teenagers

    Freely accessible birth control for teenagers has always been a topic of debate, but it prevents pregnancy, abortion, and it also has many health benefits. There are cons to the argument that suggests a rise in promiscuity in the adolescent demographic, but in spite of these cons the rise of birth control continues, because access to birth control helps adolescents make an informed and safe decision on whether or not to participate in sexual activities. It doesn’t make the decision for them.

  • Unwanted and Unplanned Teen Pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Illness

    The birth rate among teens in the United States has declined 9% from 2009 to 2010, a historic low among all racial and ethnic groups, with the least being born in 2010; and in 2011 the number of babies born to adolescents aged 15-19 years of age was 329,797 (“Birth Rates for U.S.”, 2012). Although the decline in unwanted and unplanned teen births is on the rise the United States continues to be among the highest of industrialized countries facing this problem. This is a prevailing social concern because of the health risks to these young mothers as well as their babies. Teens at higher risk of becoming pregnant are raised at or below the poverty level by single parents; live in environments that cause high levels of stress (i.e., divorce, sexual psychological and physical abuse); are influenced by peers or family members that are sexually active; and lack parental guidance that would direct them to be responsible and self-controlled.

According to the article from Oxford there are three main categories of contraception. They are the barrier methods, intrauterine, and the hormonal methods (“Contraception”). They vary from a pill, patch, shot, an implant and a condom to name a few. The most common type of contraception for women is the birth control pill. This pill includes estrogen and progestin to stop the release of the egg and thin the lining of the uterus.

    There is no one fool proof method of preventing sexual activity in teenager or adolescents –the current strategies are now geared towards reducing the number of STD cases and encourage safe sex among teenagers. However, it is also important to remember that health resources have a limit and one simply cannot go on providing condoms ad lib, if they are not going to be used. One has to accept the fact there there will always be a certain population that will remain noncompliant with behavior strategies or use of condoms. The name of the game is not to have zero sexual activity or no STDs among teenagers, but just safe sex with the least number of infections.

  • Teens, Sex, and Virginity - Teenage Pregnancy

    1515 Words  | 4 Pages

    Teenage pregnancy has always been present in society. There is research stating that about half the women, born between 1900- 1910, who were interviewed were non-virginal at marriage (17 Ravoira). This contradicts some thoughts that premarital sexual behavior is something new. There was another study done in 1953, it found that one fifth of all first births to women were conceived before marriage (17 Ravoira). Even before our modern openness in discussing sexual behavior and acceptance that it does occur, it was quite routine. In earlier society, the incidence of teenage pregnancy was a moral problem. This was because people looked at the child as filius nullius (nobody's child), or illegitimate and the mother as bad, immoral, over- sexed, etc. (18 Ravoira). The child was being blamed for mearly being born, this is unfair to the child who had no fault in the matter (18 Ravoira). The real problem that was seen was the fact that the children were born out-of-wedlock. People seemed to have real difficulty accepting that the baby is still a baby no matter what conditions it was born under.
