Condom False beliefs

Unread post by Mangoandcreams »

:shock:
Hi
I was just wondering, can you get pregnant still even if the condom didnt slip off or rip ?
Like Im aware youre supposed to wear it in ALL genital contacts and make sure to change to a new one once it has cum in it. Like I still get paranoid over crazy , miraculous? Stories that some people post about them still getting knocked over despite having the condom on properly and taking precautions , not ripping it :/ How does this even happen ? It sounds silly saying theres a super sperm who's made to get through a condom even though it has not been damaged or somehow failed them

I love this site , thanks :)

There's no such thing as super sperm, I promise. :) If a condom is used for all genital contact, and does not slip off or rip, then pregnancy is extraordinarily unlikely. The people who are saying that they got pregnant even though they used a condom properly are either not being truthful about that or perhaps aren't aware what proper condom use means and therefore don't know that they haven't used one properly.

Does that clear things up for you?

And oh there's one last thing too
how do you know that the condom has ripped? :o I read something , somewhere here that both partners can't really hear or feel it ? And is there also no such thing as microscopic rips that can happen right? Thank you again :)

When a condom breaks is going to be very visible. Something like when a balloon pops, it just can't go unnoticed.

And no, there is no such thing as "microscopic rips". If it breaks, it breaks completely and you will know.
