charliesdevil73 agony auntIt depends on what you are doing as foreplay. Just remember, any amount of semen (pre-cum or not) can get a women pregnant. All you have to do is be close enough to her vagina and they can get in there. I would say if you are doing oral or mutual masturbation you have nothing to worry about. But, if you are rubbing your penis against her vagina, you risk the chance to have something extra in about nine months.

I always put the condom on after foreplay, and if I'm being honest I have to admit that I basically don't wear one for oral sex - just for intercourse. Why? Because many STD's cannot be transmitted from oral sex, and obviously there's no risk of pregnancy that way.

Another way to look at this is - if you're worried about contracting something via unprotected oral sex then you better never kiss anyone! Both are equally risky in terms of spreading disease.

chigirl agony auntRead the instructions that come with the condoms. It should actually be written there when and how condoms are to be used, when they need to be changed, and when it's time to put them on.

So read it. But in case it's not well explained there: condoms are to be used for sexual activity. That means a condom should be used when you want to have oral sex on the penis. It's not used that much, but strictly speaking you should, to avoid spreading any illness. After oral sex the condoms needs to be tossed away, and a new one used for intercourse.

A condom needs to be put on just before intercourse, not 5 minutes before, or 20 minutes before, but just before you actually intend to have intercourse.

This is because the condom has lubricant on it. If this lubricant dries out you will put extra stress on the condom when you add friction. This will increase the chances that the condom breaks.

This should all be described in the leaflet.

I would say before, as small amounts of sperm (pre-ejaculate) can leak from the penis, from which women can get pregnant. In theory, it would be possible for this to be transferred by fingers, tongue ... and, of course, you only put the condom on when you have a partial or full erection.
