Condoms provide the most effective barrier to HIV and are the best way of reducing your chances of picking up or passing on other STIs.

Condoms can prevent infected fluids passing from one partner to the other when fucking. This makes anal sex using a condom and water based or silicon based lube safe for both the insertive (top) and the receptive (bottom) partner.

If used properly condoms are very reliable, however, they can occasionally break or slip off. When fucking it’s a good idea to check from time to time that the condom is on and that it is still intact.

Reduce the chances of slippage or breaking.

Choose the right size, condoms come in a variety of sizes, including tighter fitting, regular and larger fitting. Using a condom that is too tight or too large may cause slippage or breakage.
Check the use by date and don’t use condoms with a date that has expired.
Be careful not to tear the condom when opening the packet, especially if doing so with your teeth.
Before rolling the condom on make sure it’s the right way round.
Make sure the dick is fully erect and if uncut, pull back the foreskin
Roll the condom all the way to the base of the dick.
Use plenty of water based or silicon lube. Oil based lube (Vaseline, baby oil, Crisco, moisturiser etc) weakens condoms causing them to break. If you are fucking hard or for a long time, make sure you regularly reapply lube and occasionally replace the condom with a new one.
A condom is for single use only. If you are having sex with multiple partners, use a new condom for each person.
After you have cum and before your dick has gone soft, hold onto the condom at the base of the dick and gently slide it off.
Guys with pierced dicks experience more breakages. Check the condom often, place a bit of lube on the piercing before you place on the condom and use a thicker condom.

Staying Hard

Some guys have trouble staying hard whilst using condoms. Here are some handy hints on staying hard.

Place a bit of lube on the head of the penis (but not the shaft) before putting on the condom. This will help increase sensitivity.
Wear a cockring to help stay hard before putting on a condom.
Have a condom handy when having sex so it doesn’t involve a break in the action.
Get your partner to place the condom on you and make it a fun part of sex.

Fucked without Condoms?

If you think you may have been exposed to HIV you should consider getting PEP. PEP is a 4 week course of anti-HIV drugs which may prevent HIV infection, provided the treatment is started as soon as possible after the potential exposure to HIV. To be most effective, PEP should be started within a few hours of exposure to HIV. If it is not started within 72 hours (3 days) it is not likely to work.

To get PEP contact your local sexual health clinic, hospital accident and emergency department or the 24 hour PEP hotline. 24 hour PEP hotline 1800 PEP NOW (1800 737 669).
