Can a condom break or have a tiny hole in it without me knowing. I had sex with my ex boyfriend. It was my first time. I know the condom didn't burst or tear. Slip off. I read over the internet that a condom can have tiny holes and still not break completely. I wish I was more educated on condom use. My ex was more experience than me. I hope he used it right. We also d i didn't do that water trick because I always thought I would notice a condom failure. I didn't know it can develop tiny holes after intercourse
