Are you going to use a condom? Be careful not to make these mistakes!

1. You do not check the expiration date of the condom. Yes, condoms also have an expiration date that you should keep a close eye on. If you have sex with a condom that has expired, there is a good chance that the quality of the latex has deteriorated and you are less well protected. The maximum use date is always printed in black numbers on the condom packaging; can not be missed.

2. You already use a condom if the penis is not yet stiff enough. To be able to unroll the condom completely, it is important that the penis is completely erect. You may think you can't be early enough to put on a condom, but this is counterproductive. In addition, you will notice that it also goes less smoothly.

3. You open the package with a sharp object. We understand that it is very tempting to open that packaging in the heat of the moment (after all, you feel like it!) but do it with caution. Open the packaging at the appropriate ridges and avoid sharp objects such as a knife or teeth. There is a risk that the condom will tear or be damaged.

4. You roll the condom on the wrong side, then use it anyway. You may accidentally unroll the condom inside out. You notice soon enough that at some point you can't roll any further. Then grab a new condom, and don't continue with the same one. There is a chance that his pre-cum is now on the outside of the condom, so you can still get pregnant or contract an STI.

5. You only use a condom during penetration. Using a condom during penetration makes sense for many people; yet few people also use a contraceptive during oral sex. Even if you give him a blowjob, you can contract an STD (eg gonorrhea), or you can transmit one if you get licked. So unless you're both getting tested and STD-free, it's important to use protection during oral sex.

6. You make putting on a condom an uncomfortable break from sex. Many people see putting on a condom as an annoying interruption in the run-up to sex. Looking for a condom, not opening the package and then fiddling with putting it on: none of this promotes atmosphere. However, this is not necessary at all; you can make a condom part of sex. For example by keeping him close (you don't have to search in your bag), putting it on him yourself (for example with your mouth, which he can find very arousing) and meanwhile jerking or sucking your lover.

7. You don't switch condoms between switching oral/vaginal/anal sex. If you switch from vaginal to oral or anal sex (or vice versa) during your sex session, it is very important to change the condom as well. For example, bacteria from your anus can cause infections if they end up in your vagina. It is also important that you replace a condom after a while: if you have sex with one condom for half an hour, there is a greater chance that the rubber will tear. Oh, and never use a condom twice in a row.

8. You wait too long to remove the condom after sex. Make sure you don't wait too long to remove the condom after he has finished. Fine, all that pill talk and after-cuddling, but it can wait a while. If the penis slackens again while it is still in your vagina, space will be released in the condom, and semen can still leak.

9. You don't check the condom after sex. Never forget to check the condom after sex by holding it closed at the top and gently squeezing the bottom. Does moisture leak out? Then it's probably torn. If you do not use contraception, you can get a morning-after pill for about fifteen euros at the drugstore. It is true that prevention is better than cure, but if it has gone wrong, you can catch it early enough this way.

10. You stop using condoms too early in your relationship. Many couples stop using condoms after a few weeks or months because they are using a different method of contraception. However, it is very important not to have sex without a condom until you have both been tested for STIs, have made clear agreements about monogamy and have both discussed an alternative. Until then, it is really wiser to always use a condom.
