The birth control method that we are most familiar with, and one of the most effective methods of preventing pregnancy, is probably “condoms” because in addition to having few side effects, being convenient to use, and having a wide variety to choose from, and being easily purchased at convenience stores everywhere, condom use is also one of the responsibilities of men. In Thailand, there has been an open campaign to “Stand tall, carry a condom” to encourage Thai men to carry condoms with them and not be embarrassed to go buy one and use it.
However, it is unfortunate that some groups still value not using condoms because they are careless and think that not ejaculating inside will prevent pregnancy. However, the chance that sperm will leak out during intercourse is still possible for the woman to become pregnant. It is the same with using condoms. Although there are many advertisements saying that they reduce the chance of pregnancy, please be aware that condoms cannot prevent pregnancy 100%.

Use condoms, you may be at risk of pregnancy if you…
- Using a condom that is not the right size for your penis, too small or too big.
- Condoms are torn or have leaks due to careless removal of condoms from the https://ufabet999.app package, or condoms are damaged, stored for a long time, or stored in a place where they are at risk of being scratched.
- Not wearing a condom throughout intercourse, from start to finish, and every time there is penetration. You may accidentally put on a condom after penetration or remove the condom before penetration. Every time there is penetration, semen can leak out with the lubricant at any time.
- The condom slipped off during intercourse or during insertion and removal.
- Keep condoms in a hot, humid, or sunlight-exposed place, including in your wallet. Heat and pressure can cause condoms to break or deteriorate.
Therefore, men (or women who have prepared condoms for emergencies) should keep condoms in good condition. Do not keep them in small wallets where they are subject to friction and pressure all the time. Choose a condom size that is appropriate for the size of the penis and use condoms from before penetration until completion. There should be no incidents of condoms slipping off during intercourse. If any of the above unexpected events occur, women can take emergency contraceptive pills (but should not take them frequently) and may take birth control pills (regular) along with condoms.
