In the spirit of National Condom Day, here are some safer sex tips!

1. Make sure you know how to use condoms correctly — always check the expiration date; pinch the tip of the condom while rolling it onto a penis to leave space to prevent breakage; hold onto the base of the condom when withdrawing. Got more questions? Learn more in this very comprehensive guide to condom use: http://www.avert.org/condom.htm

2. Lube prevents condom breakage and can make sex more enjoyable.! There are many kinds to try, but make sure that you use only water- or silicone-based lubricant with condoms (oil-based lubes will destroy condoms).

3. Did you know you can make a dental dam from a condom? Learn how here: http://std.about.com/od/prevention/ht/dentaldamhowto.htm

Stop by on Thursday for more information, free stuff, and to show some love for global health by supporting our campaigns!
