A member asked:
Is it safe if condom does not go fully around base of the penis? and condom does not roll down for me sometimes so i pull it down from the inside ok?

No: Always some risk! but complete fit, containment, and persistence throughout is best! spermatozoa can escape into the vagina!

Best if: Fits over the whole penis to the base to avoid leakage of sperm into the vagina.
