by admin on Jul.12, 2007, under Uncategorized
Though seemingly simple, a certain protocol needs to be followed when using a condom for contraception
- A new condom should be used for every act of coitus.
- Condoms are available in pre-tested, pre-sterilized packs and need not be tested prior to use.
- It is to be rolled onto the erect penis just prior to insertion. Practice of delaying and putting it on just before ejaculation should be avoided.
- It should be removed immediately after ejaculation otherwise the penis becomes flaccid and the semen is likely to spill into the vagina.
- For removal, it is to be held on to the base of the penis, and should be withdrawn along with the penis.
- It may be used with some spermicidal jelly to maximize its contraceptive effect.

What is virginity?
The word ‘virgin’ means one who has not had sexual intercourse, which may be verified by an intact hymen. However, a girl whose hymen is intact may have had intercourse; whereas a girl who has never had intercourse may not have an intact hymen. The idea of chastity and virginity needs to be clarified. There are virgin individuals who are not chaste and chaste individuals who are not physiologically virgin.
Is it a fact that girls who menstruate early also tend to begin intercourse early?
No. The timing of coitus depends upon individual sex drive, situational factors and sociocultural background.
Does pre-menstrual tension affect sexuality?
Yes, it does. Women tend to become irritable with associated symptoms such as nausea, backache and breast tenderness. There is a feeling of discomfort in the pelvic region and, at times, there may be emotional disturbances and varying degrees of depression. In some, however, it is found that the sex drive is enhanced, perhaps resulting from increased pelvic congestion, insufficient to cause discomfort but sufficient to cause intense pelvic ‘awareness’.
Do oral contraceptive pills prevent pre-menstrual tension?
Yes, oral contraceptive pills do prevent premenstrual tension in about 50% and painful periods in over 90% of the women.
