Question

Male condoms are worn

• A. during coitus or intercourse
• B. during menstrual cycle
• C. to prevent sperm entering the vagina
• D. during ovulation

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

to prevent sperm entering the vagina

The male condom, essentially a latex jacket, is worn on the penis during intercourse (coitus) to prevent the ejaculated semen from entering the woman’s reproductive tract. Instead, the seminal fluid is contained within this latex jacket, which can then be disposed off when the condom is removed.
