Practising safe sex is fun but can be a bit daunting the first time and possibly embarrassing. But don’t be embarrassed when putting a condom on as here are 6 simple steps to ensure you know what you are doing.

If you haven’t put a condom on before, you should certainly practice putting one on before actually `going live` as it can be a bit strange the first time.

1. Open the condom’s wrapper, taking care not to rip or damage the condom inside as you don’t want any fluid escaping due to a broken condom.

2. You will need an erect penis to put the condom on, your partner should be able to help with this.

3. Hold the condom by the teat and place the condom at the end of the penis.

4. Carefully roll the condom down the shaft of the penis.

5. Roll the condom to the base of the penis and make sure that it is a snug fit so that no fluid will escape or get in.

6. Ready to go, enjoy yourself and make sure you dispose of the condom properly afterwards.
