A member asked:
Are condoms vigorously tested? it's our only form of contraception, is it reliable enough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Condoms work: Yes. As long as the condom is used correctly, with water based lube and changed with prolonged sexual activity then it is a very good form of birth control. Any oil based lubes will cause the condom to fail.
