Actually, I was surprised by the definition of ‘perfect use’ when I looked it up during this discussion.
It’s actually not that hard to do. Use a condom every time and follow directions is all it takes, apparently, to get you near 98%…
Some of the most frequent mistakes include putting a condom on partway through intercourse or taking it off before intercourse is over, failing to leave space at the tip of the condom for semen, and failing to look for damage before use. These errors can contribute to breakage or leakage, researchers reported in the journal Sexual Health.
“We chronically underestimate how complicated condom use can be,” University of Kentucky professor Richard Crosby, who co-authored the study, said in a statement. “It involves the use of a condom, while negotiating the condom use and sex with a partner all at the same time.”
I shouldn’t laugh at the stupid people right?
