Despite the abundance of contraceptives on the modern market, the condom remains one of the most popular means for married couples. It is used not only as a means of preventing pregnancy, but also protects against infections, which may not always be a consequence of infidelity.
Why should legal spouses defend themselves?
Many married couples actively use condoms, mainly to protect against unwanted pregnancies. After all, other methods (intrauterine devices, hormonal contraception, interrupted intercourse, calculating "dangerous" and "safe" days for conception, etc.) are not only associated with a number of contraindications and risk, but also do not guarantee such a degree of protection. It is also worth noting that medications for women, and even more so intrauterine devices, diaphragms, etc., can be used only after a visit to the doctor in order to avoid dangerous consequences.
According to experts, it is not necessary to choose one type of contraception; it is quite possible to alternate the use of a condom with some other methods of contraception.
As you know, a condom is able to protect against a host of various sexually transmitted infections. Despite the widespread opinion, such diseases do not always appear due to one of the partners. Science today knows a lot of infections that can be contracted during intercourse, and the wearer could "catch" them in the pool, on the beach, while getting tattoos, and even in public places, for example, by going to the toilet.
Criticism of condoms
Opponents of condoms claim that they reduce sensitivity during intimate relationships - they say, even the most subtle can make sex with a loved one completely different. However, it is worth noting that other contraceptives, for example, hormonal pills for women or interrupted intercourse, are also fraught with a number of consequences - both for the physical health of a person and psychological troubles. And the condom, in comparison, for example, with intrauterine devices, is much easier to use and affordable.
Spouses may well fill their intimate life with bright colors and new sensations by continuing to use condoms - there are a lot of options for this. Here are just a few of them: a romantic weekend trip, role-playing games, a short period of abstinence, and others. Do not forget that today in pharmacies you can see condoms of the most bizarre shapes, with different coatings and odors, which can also help diversify their intimate life, even for experienced spouses.
Condoms have been around for a long time, with the first condoms, historians say, made from materials such as turtle shells, oiled parchment, or animal intestines.
Caring for the partner's health as an element of family well-being
To determine the most suitable and necessary method of protection for a particular pair, it is worth carefully evaluating all the possible pros and cons. At the same time, men should not forget that by forcing their companion to use oral contraceptives to prevent an unwanted pregnancy or, which is much more dangerous, some folk remedies, they endanger her life. And women should be reminded that if a man really loves and appreciates his spouse, he will not risk her health, trying to find a compromise option even in such a delicate issue.
