Condom knowledge

Unread post by john »

Hi!

So lately I have been using condom as a form of contraceptive.

When I put on the condom, I realized it was upside down, fixed it, and used it again instead of throwing it away.

I was not concerned about STI as I only have 1 partner (and my gf too) and I know that indirect contact cant result in pregnancy as sperm in precum wont survive being transferred like that.

Am I reasonable for doing so?

Thank you!

Hi John,

Are you and your girlfriend up to date on your STI testing? Because that will help you determine what your STI risk is more generally. And yes, from what you're describing, this sounds like it would be indirect contact pre-ejaculate, which does not pose a risk of pregnancy. However, in the future it's still best to use a new condom if you realize the one you have has been put on incorrectly.
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
