February 14 – Valentine’s Day, Valentine’s Day. But it’s also European Sexual Health Day, a day to remember that what matters in sex is not love, but protection. At least until they are a stable couple. And protection doesn’t just apply to penetrative sex. It can also be contracted through oral sex. sexually transmitted infections. Even through vulva sex. If there’s a penis in the equation, you can resort to using a regular condom. If not, then they would be necessary vaginal condoms or latex barriers. You reading this may not have even heard of these elements. This is not strange since they are much less known and harder to find. Therefore, it won’t hurt to learn how to make a latex barrier using a condom.
Of course, all you need is a condom, and scissors. Alternatively, this is ideal, although the ideal would be to stock latex barriers as well as penile condoms in most pharmacies. Here, as with everything in life, the answer lies in supply and demand. If there is no demand, there is no supply. Therefore, it is important to communicate your need.
If no one asks about latex barriers or vaginal condoms at the pharmacy, they won’t see the need to sell them. Moreover, if the few who sell them see them expire on the shelves, they will no longer stock them. Let’s use this day to make them known and also to get them while the demand is still not enough to supply.
There is life beyond the condom
There is a huge gender bias around the topic of contraception. For example, hormonal measures They always fall on the shoulders of people with vaginas. It is true that several investigations are currently underway in search of a male contraceptive pill. However, since there are already many female options, they may not be completed quickly enough.
On the other hand, the opposite happens with physical barriers. There are condoms for the penis and vagina, but the latter are harder to find and significantly more expensive. For this reason, many people don’t even know them. The problem is that, other than contraception, physical barriers are the only ones that are useful for prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Cunnilingus, anilingus, or any sexual practice in which two vaginas rub against each other can also transmit STIs. In these cases, it is impossible to use a condom for the penis. Therefore it would be necessary latex barrier. They are like a small sheet, very thin and soft, that is placed over the vagina or anus for oral sex. This is very effective, but we again face the same problem: this little known, expensive and difficult to access.
How to make a latex barrier with your own hands
There are two very simple ways to make a latex barrier using a penis condom and scissors. The first one is simple cut off the tip and top where is the thick ring located? After, cuts across the resulting cylinder and, voilathe latex barrier will be ready.
The problem is that it can be a little difficult to deploy. So there is another way to do this. This consists of don’t unroll the condom. Just take the tip out and cut it off. The remaining disk is then trimmed at one end. All that remains is to unfold what was the top ring. This will make the latex barrier easier to spread. In any case, any process is good.
This has two advantages. On the one hand, it’s cheaper. And on the other hand, you can choose between many flavors of condomsto make this experience even more enjoyable. The only downside is that the result is somewhat less than a regular latex barrier, but it is still useful for covering the entire vulva or anus and making oral sex as safe as it is enjoyable.
