Condom Etiquette



Who is supposed to supply the condoms?
You are supposed to buy condoms. Regardless of whether you are male or female, straight or gay, you are supposed to supply the condoms. Don’t be an idiot or a wuss.


What to do after orgasm.

It is polite to make sure that you pull out properly. Make sure that you put your finger on the rolled up lip of the condom when you pull out. This will prevent spillage of semen.


How to dispose of them
Unfortunately you cannot flush condoms. You have to toss them in the garbage. Wrapping them in tissues and putting them into the kitchen trash is a good idea, because that trash probably gets emptied most often. Putting the condom near the bottom of the trash can prevent embarrassment later.


What to do if it breaks
If a condom breaks, both partners should wash themselves with soap and water. Urinating is said to help avoid infections. It certainly couldn’t hurt. In fact, you may have peed your pants already. If the breakage is discovered after ejaculation, having a separate spermicide handy to apply quickly may help. A doctor can prescribe an intense dose of birth-control pills or a "morning after pill", which will block most pregnancies if used within 72 hours of intercourse. Prayer can’t hurt, but if you’re catholic (like your author) it may fall on deaf ears.
