Cant keep condom on during sex

When having sex, you always take precaution. You use a condom , you're on the pill , you know your partner's sexual history. But then, mid-intercourse, the condom breaks, and suddenly, it seems like all that prep doesn't even matter because with one thrust, with one snap of the latex, your risk of pregnancy or an STI just got a whole lot higher. Don't worry, condom breakage is common, and there are ways to prevent it, as well as things to do after the fact to help keep your chances of pregnancy or contracting an STI low. I talked to Natasha Bhuyan, MD and family physician at One Medical, and she gave me all the tips on how to correctly use a condom so as to prevent them from breaking, as well as the steps to take if one does in fact break. So, stay calm and read on.

One of the most interesting things about condoms is that, despite the great impact they can have on our reproductive futures, they are generally absurdly low-impact on our bodies. They're disposable, one-use, and cheap, but they also manage to keep sperm out of our systems, block STD exchange — and do it without having any effect on our menstrual cycles, egg production, or our partners' sperm levels. But does the introduction of something "foreign" into the body during sexual intercourse have any hidden consequences?
