Hey, what’s up, folks? It’s your boy here, dropping some real talk on a topic that’s as essential as it is underrated-external protection, aka condoms for men. Whether you’re exploring your wild side or keeping it grown and sexy with one partner, condoms are a cornerstone of sexual wellness and masculine energyy.

Step-by-Step: How to Put On a Condom Properly
- Check Your Gear First: Inspect that condom like you’re checking your fit before a night out.
- Get Erect and Ready: Like Dr. Stanton Honig says, don’t even try it without a solid erection.
- Open It Smart: Use your hands or scissors-no teeth, bro. You want protection, not perforation.
- Pinch the Tip: Leave that little half-inch reservoir. It’s not optional. It’s smart.
- Roll It On Like a Boss: Roll it all the way to the base. If it doesn’t feel right, check the fit.
- After the Deed: Hold the base, pull out, wrap it up, and toss it. No replays. One and done.

How Should a Condom Fit? And Other Key Tips
Size Matters, Fit Matters More: Snug, not tight. Comfortable, not loose. Like a good pair of jeans-tailored for action. And yeah-some STDs don’t show symptoms, so this isn't about “just vibes”-it’s protection with purpose.

When to Use a Condom: Every time you’re having vaginal, anal, or oral sex-especially with new partners or situations where trust hasn’t been fully built yet. Know the signs and symptoms too-don’t play yourself.
