the sex
The Sex - Condoms are commonly used by men is identical. Although limited in number, condoms were available to women. Then what is the difference between male and female condoms?

Condoms are effective contraception to prevent pregnancy and transmission of sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS. Not just for men, condoms were available to women although overshadowed by the male condom which is now being sold.

Here are some of the differences and similarities between male and female condoms, as reported by onlymyhealth and female-condoms.org, Saturday (14/07/2012):

Male condom

    Male condoms more readily available and are available with a variety of flavors and shapes
    The price of male condoms are relatively cheaper
    Male condom is considered more effective than the female condom, with 85 percent effectiveness for preventing pregnancy.
    Use a male condom right before sexual intercourse
    Male condom has a tight ring at the tip, which is intended to facilitate the use of a condom on the penis.
    Should be stored carefully, away from sharp objects, hot and humid, since it is easily damaged.
    Easily damaged when used with oil-based lubricants.


Female condom

    Effective in preventing pregnancy by 75 percent
    There are two rings on the inside and outside. The inner ring helps to use (insertion into the vagina) and keep the condom firmly in place during intercourse. While the outer ring serves to prevent the condom slipping into the vagina.
    Female condom use is not dependent on male erection, so it can be inserted into the vagina up to 8 hours before intercourse.
    The female condom made of polyurethane or nitrile, which makes it strong and durable.
    No need to store it in special circumstances as resistant to moisture and high temperatures.
    Can be used in conjunction with a lubricant, either oil or water based.
    The female condom should not be used in conjunction with a male condom because it can be damaged due to friction during sexual intercourse.


Both have positive and negative sides. Some people like to use male condoms, while others hate. The same is true for the female condom. It's all about the needs and preferences, all depending on your taste.
