✅ Do NOT put a condom on with your mouth –
⚠️ Increases risk of breakage
✅ Do NOT put lube inside the condom – ⚠️ Makes condom slip off
✅ Use condoms and dental dams correctly when performing oral sex
⚠️ STIs/STDs can be invisable
✅ Water-based lube is safer
⚠️ Silicon based lubemakes condom tearing more likely
✅ Get tested every months (3 monthly if work is slow)
