Condom
A
condom
( or ) is a sheath-shaped
barrier device
that may be used during
sexual intercourse
to reduce the probability of
pregnancy
and spreading
sexually transmitted infections
(STIs/STDs) such as
HIV/AIDS
. It is rolled onto an
erect penis
before intercourse and blocks ejaculated semen from entering the body of a sexual partner. Condoms are also used during
fellatio
and for
collection of semen
for use in infertility treatment. In the modern age, condoms are most often made from
latex
, but some are made from other materials such as
polyurethane
,
polyisoprene
, or lamb intestine. A
female condom
is also available, often made of
nitrile
.
