Question about condom breakage.

Hi I was reading on a forum that some people usually check the condom after finishing intercourse cause they're scared it might have a small hole in it. Is it the case that should a condom have a small hole in it, it would definitely break completely during the sexual act, or has there been situations where it has stayed intact? There was a guy on another hiv forum that was worried that a csw gave him oral with the condom on and then he performed vaginal sex with the same condom, but after he was done the condom seemed intact, though he was a bit worried that the teeth may have caused a small hole, is this possible?

Thanks.

Condoms never have small holes in them. And when a condom breaks it no longer covers the penis.
A lot of people who post here have anxiety and that is part of checking a condom.

When condoms break they break wide open.  They do not have small tears or develope weak spots.  When they let go, it usually is pretty obvious.  At least the two or three times I have had them break it is readily apparant.  If, after intercourse, you withdraw and the condom seems intact, it is.

This is what I was thinking, logically if the condom even had the smallest hole the whole thing would rupture from the friction caused by the thrusting. Thanks guys.
