避孕套 （另見：安全性行為-
避孕套/安全套1 ）
避孕套也普遍稱為避孕工具或橡膠套，是一種由菲薄的乳膠、綿羊盲腸或塑膠所製成的鞘套。它被成型為手套的手指狀，性交時配戴於陰莖上。因為它在射精後盛納男方的精液，女方就不能懷孕。
儘管避孕套有顯著的優點，但是一些人拒絕使用它，一來是因為在雙方做愛時不願意費神去配戴，二來是因為他們斷言它會使性的感覺變得遲鈍起來。可是，最新的避孕套是如此之薄以至於這種抱怨比從前更沒有理由。某些人對乳膠過敏，但現在有非乳膠避孕套可供其使用。所以：全盤地考慮來看，避孕套仍舊是最簡捷和最安全的，並由此而是最好的避孕工具之一。此外，避孕套也在對抗性傳播疾病方面發揮保護作用。避孕套並不貴，勿需處方就可以從藥房、藥店和公共自動售套機買到。
避孕有效率：約95%，如果女方（同時）使用殺精子泡沫劑，效率更高。

Condom
The condom, also popularly known as prophylactic or rubber, is a sheath made of thin latex, gut, or plastic. It is shaped like the finger of a glove and it is worn over the penis during sexual intercourse. Because it catches and retains the man's sperm after ejaculation, the woman cannot become pregnant.
Despite its obvious advantages, some people object to the condom either because they do not like the procedure of putting it on during their love-play or because they claim that it dulls their sensation. However, the newest condoms are so thin that this complaint is less valid than before. Some people are allergic to latex, but for them non-latex condoms are now available. Therefore: All things considered, the condom is still one of the simplest, safest, and therefore best contraceptives available. Moreover, it also provides some protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Condoms are not expensive and can
be bought without a prescription in pharmacies, drugstores, or from public vending machines.
Effectiveness: about 95 percent, more if the woman uses foam. |
