a thin barrier used during sex to prevent the exchange of bodily fluids and reduce the risk of STIs and unintended pregnancies
What is a "condom"?
A condom is a thin, stretchy cover that is worn on the penis during sexual activity. It helps prevent pregnancy by catching sperm and stopping it from entering the vagina. Condoms also protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They are typically made of latex, but there are also options made from other materials like polyurethane for people with latex allergies. Condoms are designed to be used once and then thrown away.
Examples
Using a condom is a responsible choice for sexually active individuals.
The couple decided to use a condom to ensure safer intercourse.
