kondomeja

Kondomeja, a Swedish term, refers to condoms. Condoms are a barrier method of contraception and a primary means of preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They are typically made of thin, flexible materials, most commonly latex, but also available in polyurethane, polyisoprene, and lambskin. Male condoms are worn on the penis during sexual intercourse, while female condoms are inserted into the vagina before intercourse.

The primary function of a condom is to prevent pregnancy by creating a physical barrier that stops sperm from entering the vagina. This is achieved by collecting the ejaculate within the condom. In addition to contraception, condoms are highly effective in reducing the transmission of STIs, including HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis, by preventing the exchange of bodily fluids.

Correct and consistent use is crucial for the effectiveness of condoms. This involves checking the expiration date, opening the package carefully without tearing it, ensuring the condom is rolled down onto the erect penis before any genital contact, and holding the base of the condom when withdrawing the penis after ejaculation to prevent slippage and spillage.

Condoms are widely available without a prescription in pharmacies, supermarkets, and online, making them an accessible form of sexual health protection. Various types, sizes, and textures are available to suit individual preferences and needs.
