This week Parent Center picked up on a story in Time about SPRAY ON CONDOMS that was originally reported on in 2006 by GizMag.

As hard as he tries it seems inventor Jan Vinzenz Krause just can’t get these things to take off.  Apparently they make a hissing sound that will spoil “the mood” and it takes too long for the spray on latex to get hard, again spoiling the mood.

Good luck Jan!

Scientific Blogging covers research provided by the Bradley Hasbro Children’s Research Center (and others) and find that although 25% of sexually active teens will contract an STD, teens tend to assume that their partner will disapprove if they were to bring out a condom.

The insecurity of youth is scary and dangerous.  Perceptions and misconceptions can be averted if only someone would “Talk to their kids”.  Regardless of religion, sex happens, and it should not be a threat to your teen’s health.  They need to know about the risks and that condoms are the most effective form of protection from those risks.

Using a Male Condom

• Only use new condoms
• Be careful not to poke a hole in the condom with your fingernails, teeth, or other sharp objects when opening the condom wrapper.
• Put the condom on as soon as the penis is erect and before any sexual contact with your partner.
• Prior to putting your condom on, pinch the tip and squeeze out the air to leave room for the ejaculate.
• If you are not circumcised, pull down the loose skin (foreskin) before putting on the condom.
• While continuing to hold onto the tip of the condom, unroll it all the way down to the base of the penis.
• If you are using the condom as birth control, make sure your partner uses a spermicide according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Using additional lubricants is ok as long as they are water based such as Astroglide or K-Y Jelly. Oil based lubricants like Vaseline, hand lotion, or baby oil can weaken the condom, increasing the chance that it may break.
• After ejaculation, hold onto the condom at the base and withdraw from your partner while still erect. This will keep semen from spilling out of the condom.
• Wash your hands after handling a used condom.

Using a Female Condom

• Only use new condoms
• Insert the closed ended ring inserted deep into the vagina over the cervix, like a diaphragm to hold the tube in place.
• Make sure the ring at the open end remains outside the opening of the vagina.
• After ejaculation twist the outside ring to close off the condom and hold the semen inside before the condom is removed.
• Remain laying down to remove.
• Wash your hands after handling a used condom.

Female condoms can be inserted up to 8 hours before sexual intercourse. Do not use with spermicide and definitely not at the same time as a male condom as the friction can tear it.
