Male condom *

Male condom * The male condom, sometimes called a rubber, is a barrier method of birth control used by men. It is a disposable, tube-shaped piece of thin latex rubber or animal membrane. It is rolled over the erect penis just before intercourse. There is usually a place at the tip of the condom to hold ejaculated semen. The condom provides a barrier that stops sperm from entering a woman's uterus. Latex condoms also provide a barrier against the transmission of sexually transmitted disease.
