- Prevents sperm from contacting the woman's tissue, therefore decreasing chances of her producing antibodies against the sperm. (This is one cause of infertility.)
- Condoms have a slight tourniquet effect on the outer veins of the penis. This may be beneficial for men who have difficulty maintaining an erection. (Seen with certain major abdominal operations and sometimes with advanced age)
- The condom frequently prolongs the man's plateau phase and increases enjoyment for both partners.
