Condom Question

[sarysar123]

Hey!

So I'm just wondering, I know condoms are only successful when they don't break or slip off.. I know it's pretty obvious to tell after sex if they did slip off, but what about if they break? Is it pretty obvious most of the time if they are broken?

I'm asking because I had sex for the first time (then two more times after that) the other day with a condom (new one each time) and it didn't slip off and didn't seem to be broken at all after examination, it's just been on the back of my mind..

When condoms break, it does tend to be very obvious. Small holes rapidly get much larger due to friction, and broken condoms often appear shredded. If the condom was intact when you finished having sex, and it didn't slip off, then you can assume it did its job.
