Condom

Condoms have been a great hit since their inception but not many of us know that these are also the contributors to a number of problems. Every time you use a condom, small traces of carcinogens are released. These may develop to skin infections, genital pain, and itching sensations in the genitals. A large number of people are reporting their allergies to latex.

Talc is used as a lubricant in condoms which is harmful the delicates tissues of the genitals. Regular use of talc as a lubricant blocks the fallopian tubes in women. Talc has been replaced by silicones and cornstarch but some condoms still contain talc.

Men and women have been developing dermatitis due to regular usage of latex condoms. In women, excessive vaginal discharge and a burning sensation in the vagina are the common problems. Condoms may sometimes lead to decrease in sexual pleasure and the intercourse maybe less pleasing, as the man has to withdraw his penis immediately after ejaculation.

It is of best interest to use non- latex condoms. Condoms containing natural rubber or polyurethane may be preferred- they are odorless and do not have complications like latex. People who are more inclined to oral sex can go for polyurethane. Non-rubber condoms use lambskins or sheep intestine, which are natural and are safer to use.
Before using a condom, make sure that you are not allergic to the substances used in them, thereby, making you enjoy sexual pleasure better than before.
