So there's quite a buzz circulating around about these new spray-on condoms. German inventor Jan Vinzenz Krause has created a condom that's made out of liquid latex. Here's how it works: before a man would normally put on a condom, he will instead spray liquid latex on his penis and wait at least 20 seconds […]
Male condoms can sometimes get a bad reputation for breaking easily, which may or may not be warranted. Condoms are broken easiest when they are used improperly, which happens more often than people think. Condoms are put under intense testing before they are sold to ensure the highest quality possible, which potentially means that breakage is […]

QUESTION: I’m new to condoms. When I leave space at the tip, is one-half inch enough? I’m worried that if the condom fills up with semen it might back up inside my penis. Any thoughts on this?
Trojan Condoms has released its annual Sexual Health Report Card which grades American colleges and universities on a range of sexual health criteria. Although IUB greatly improved over its standings last year, we are still not cracking the Top 25! Come on, IUB!
A study conducted by researchers here at The Kinsey Institute reveals that men are less likely to use condoms when they report an erection loss while using the condoms. So if a man has erection difficulties while he's wearing a condom, he's more likely to ditch the whole condom idea entirely and not use protection.

QUESTION: Last night, my boyfriend and I had sex and he used a non lubricated condom, which became painful, so I had him stop. This morning when I went to the bathroom I noticed that there was some bleeding, like from a cut or something. Is this something that will heal on its own or if I need to go see my gynecologist?

QUESTION: I am a sexually active, heterosexual male in a monogamous relationship. Recently, at or near climax during vaginal sex my condom slipped off completely. I didn’t know this until I reached to hold onto it as I withdrew. My girlfriend hadn’t felt it either. It was difficult to retrieve and went near her cervix. Along with condoms, we also use vaginal contraceptive foam, but considering the depth the condom had reached we opted to use Plan B emergency contraceptive as well. My question is two-fold. First, why did this happen. I produce a lot of pre-cum; does this have anything to do with it? I did not lose my erection, the width of my penis is average, and the length is above average. Second, and more importantly, how can this be prevented in the future? I am now distracted by checking the position of my condom. Should I use something like a c-ring to keep my condom in place? I’m happy with my mainstream brand and type of condom otherwise. Any information you could provide me would be most appreciated.
QUESTION: After reading a recent Kinsey Confidential column about men having erection problems when using condoms during sex, I notice that I have a similar problem, but it's not all the time. I've noticed that when I use a condom during sex with a female that more fits my preference of her physical appearance, my […]

QUESTION: I had a yearly exam in January, then started getting bikini waxes. I noticed some strange things going on down south so I got another exam in June. After the exam, the doctor called to tell me that I had chlamydia and to warn me about having unprotected sex. But I didn’t have unprotected sex; I only had protected sex between the January and June exams. My partners claim they were uninfected. I’m so grossed out, and wondering if my partners lied to me. Between the two exams, I had 3 partners, all with condoms. All three claim that they have gotten tested and that they don’t have chlamydia. Is it possible to get chlamydia from a bikini wax?
