Birth control Assignment

When putting on a condom, you must remember to do these 5 things:

1.Before using a condom check the expiration date on the packaging
2. Carefully open the wrapper, as using teeth or nails can damage it
3. Ensure the condom is not torn, brittle, stiff, or sticky or discard it and use another one
4.Make sure the tip of the condom is facing up, and leave a half inch space for semen collection
5.Make sure you pull out before the penis gets soft, and hold on to the bade of the condom so it doesn’t slide off.
