[IMAGE]
* A male condom is a thin sheath that covers the penis during
intercourse and is made of one of the following materials:
* Rubber (latex)
* Plastic (polyurethane);the best alternative for people allergic
to latex
* Lambskin
· Male condoms can vary greatly in color, size, amount of lubrication
and amount of spermicide.
* The male condom protects against infection and pregnancy by
covering the penis and preventing direct contact between the penis
and vagina, as well as collecting the semen and preventing it from
entering the vagina.

Does it protect against STIs?
[IMAGE]
Yes. The latex condoms can protect against STIs including HIV. Testing
of the plastic, polyurethane condoms suggests that they also protect
against infections; however, this is not definite. Lambskin condoms DO
Majority of condoms are made out of latex, a form of natural rubber. Condoms made of lamb intestines are often reffered to as skin or natural-membrane condoms. Lamb skin condoms are used less often due to the fact that it does not prevent transmission of STD's.
Two major types of birth control are contraceptives and condoms. Condoms prevent STDs by stopping the flow of semen in to the vaginal canal. Contraceptives are more complex. Birth control contraceptives help to prevent pregnancies by combining the hormones estrogen and progesterone to prevent the egg from being released during the monthly cycle. Not only do the contraceptives prevent the egg from dropping but they also thicken the mucus around the cervix making it hard for sperm to enter the uterus just in case any eggs were released.

The article by Christine Overall, "New Reproductive Technology," discusses the issue of abortion and the new technology involved in abortions. The article makes the case that the fetus is not in the ownership of the parents, therefore when an abortion takes place the embryo should be preserved for future use. This embryo could be used at a later time by the parents, or others can adopt it.
A more relatable article, “Condom Distribution in High School” - A Rebuttal” by Robert N. Rowe, a writer and consultant, stands firmly in favor of distributing condoms to high school students and comments directly on Gow’s article. Rowe clearly states, “Granted, they are the most logical and desirable sources, but what if a student has incompetent or perhaps no parental guidance and has little if any access to a physician? Schools have acted in loco parentis ever since public education first evolved. Why should it stop now during a devastating health crisis?” While Gow believes that parents and physicians are the accountable ones for providing students with the proper information and materials about sexually transmitted diseases, Rowe sees
Recently Camden County College has installed condom dispensers throughout the campus, this decision has created a controversy thought the campus. The decision was made to combat the STD epidemic spread through college age young adults. However, any of the opposition’s claims are simply based on preference; installing the condom dispensers was a good decision. Both sides can agree that any couple participating in intercourse that isn’t looking to conceive should use a condom, but whether it should be distributed in a school is the debate.
In this paper, my aim is to argue that Don Marquis ' claim that abortions are immoral is flawed due to the objection of contraception. Marquis ' argument is built around the idea that morality on killing a human being is not based on taking away the victim 's life but rather through taking away their valuable future. "The category that is morally central to this analysis is the category of having a valuable future like ours; it is not the category of personhood"( Marquis, 192). He elaborates on this notion by reasoning that, except in extreme circumstances, killing an adult human is morally wrong because "killing inflicts (one of) the greatest possible losses on the victim...The change in biological state does not by itself make killing wrong...[Death]
“History is the sextant of states which, tossed by wind and current, would be lost in confusion if they could not fix their position” said Allan Nevins, an American historian and journalist. The sextant was invented in 1757 by John Campbell in Scotland. John Campbell innovated the octant, created by John Hadley, by increasing measuring angles. Sextant came from the Latin word “sextus” which means one sixth. Though the sextant was helpful for navigation, the design itself had many errors.
The male condom is the popular method in which can prevent sperm from entering the women’s vagina. This method can defend from STDs and pregnancy and most couples that use condoms only a few actually gets pregnant. The advantage of this method is that it’s easy to use and it doesn’t have any effects. There also affordable and the male can get free condoms at any medical clinic. The disadvantage is if the male user doesn’t use the condom right it can cause the women chances of becoming pregnant. This method can only be use ones every time they have sex.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases or STDs are an increasing problem in today’s society. There are many of them and the number is increasing in the youth of the nation. According to a 2000 poll, 18.9 million cases were reported, and of that number, 9.1 million occurred in people between the ages of 15 to 24. America needs to recognize this problem more fully and find a cure for it. Abstinence is one way to help, but what people need to realize is that it is not working.
Who ever knew a piece of latex could become so important. With the epidemic on STD’s, facing all college students today, the use of condoms acts as a way to protect humans from acquiring a sexually transmitted disease. Condoms are carried in local drug stores, gas stations, and health clinics fo...
During the 1980s, efforts increased to alert the public to the dangers of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and unintended pregnancy, yet these problems have increased. Adolescents and young adults have been especially hard hit. Pregnancy and birth rates among teenagers are at their highest levels in two decades.
Condoms began to come into their own during the 18th century. They were usually made of sheep gut, or sometimes fish skin, and were originally introduced not for prevention of pregnancy but as a protection against syphilis.
The health belief model (HBM) is a psychosocial model that was developed during the 1950’s by social psychologists of the U.S public health services, and this model was used to explain why people failed to participate in disease prevention and detection programs. The theory is one of the most health behavior theories, which is used to explain behavior change and maintenances, but often times used to predict behavior outcome (Glanze, Rimer, & Lewis, 2002).
The male reproductive system is a set of organs that works together to produce sperm which will later in life fertilize females eggs. The testes are the most important part of the system because it produces sperm cells. It is similar and looks similar to ovaries of a female’s reproductive system because it also holds what they need to reproduce. Its job is to produce the sperm cells needed to reproduce. Due to hormonal imbalances the production of sperm cells may not even be possible in some males. Testosterone is the male the hormone that gives men there manly characteristics. It is made up of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen with a white color. In the male body it helps develop sex organs, a deeper voice, and facial hair (Khalid, 2013). Cancer or a genetic disorder in males is the most common thing that cause the reductions of testosterone production in the body. Behind the testes is the epididymis which lets sperm go through the vas deferens from the testes (Dictionary, 2014). It looks like leach the way it is position right on the testes but it is thinner. When sperm is produces the ...
The most commonly used methods of birth control are the condom and the pills. The pill is taken once a day and a pack should be completed every month. Combination pills contain estrogen and progestin. Others are progestin-only. Pills contain hormones that work in different ways. The condoms are a sheath made of thin latex or plastic to cover the penis before intercourse to keep sperm from joining egg. No matter how old one is , it is very important to use condoms with another method of birth.
