condom tip
could anyone tell why condom tip should be pinched while wearing condom. If it is not pinched will it breaks.
Let the air out,leave some room at the tip for the semen & use lube & it should not break.
teak you said condom may fail if air is not pinched. Can you please elaborate it. Is it because of pressure caused on air while doing sex. Will it break even if not ejaculated
thank you for your replies. I am going to have my first sexual encounter and don't want to put myself at risk. How do condom fails if air is not pinched?
It's not while wearing it. You pinch the tip to remove the air from the tip when rolling the condom down your penis. Not removing the air can cause the condom to fail.
It won't break--it's to leave some room for the semen & why pinch it,leave the small space when you put it on.
