Detrimental side effects
- A few men are unable to maintain an erection after putting on a condom.
- There is no direct contact between the penis and the vagina.
- The woman is not aware of warm fluid entering her body (important to some women, not to others).
- Friction of the condom may diminish clitoral stimulation and reduce lubrication making intercourse less enjoyable or even uncomfortable. (Lubricated condoms may alleviate this problem.)
- Intercourse may be less pleasurable since the man must withdraw his penis immediately after ejaculation.
- Allergic reactions to latex condoms are rare, but they do occur. (Changing to condoms made of polyurethane or animal membranes may help.)
