Question

“Use of a condom is beneficial for both the sexes involved in a sexual act.” Justify this statement giving two reasons.

Answer 1

Contraceptives:

1. These are methods of birth control that prevent the fusion of sperm and the egg and hence prevent fertilisation.
2. These may be mechanical barriers (condoms, intrauterine devices, etc.), chemical barriers (contraceptive pills), etc.

Condoms:

1. Condoms that are placed on the penis (in males) and the vagina (in females) before beginning the intercourse.
2. These are very broadly used contraceptives in India due to the fact they're without problems available, low cost, reliable, powerful, and without facet effects.
3. They additionally prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted sicknesses like AIDs, syphilis, etc.

Condoms are useful for both sexes as:

1. They prevent unwanted pregnancies.
2. Protect the transmission of STDs (sexually transmitted diseases).
