Condom: There are some possible disadvantages to use of a male condom. The first would be if you were allergic to the material it is composed of (I.e. latex) Some men report decreased sensitivity when wearing a condom. There may be a temporary halt to sexual activity when it is being applied to an erect penis. With poor attention to detail when using, efficacy can drop to around 85%.
