Is the CONDOM right for you ?

How it works:

• The condom is rolled onto the man's erect penis before you have sex.
• Sperm are kept inside the condom and can't get to the women's egg.
• The condom only works if you use a new one every time you have sex.
• Condoms can help PREVENT AIDS and other STD's.

What you should know:

• Condoms do not cause health problems.
• Condoms can be bought in a drugstore.

A few of the complaints about condoms:

• Putting on the condom can interrupt foreplay.
• Some people say sex doesn't feel the same with a condom.
• Condoms can be messy and less effective if not taken off carefully.
