Why are condoms only 98% effective?

313 views

I just read that condoms (with perfect usage/no human error) are 98% effective and that 2% fail rate doesn’t have to do with faulty latex. How then? If the latex is blocking all the semen how could it fail unless there was some breakage or some coming out the top?

Ever had it fall off and end up inside a vagina? Yeah that happens too.

I’ve always wondered how condoms possibly rip? Do I not fuck with enough vigor or something? Never happened once that I’ve noticed. Are people just not getting women wet enough? Or have mammoth dinks and incorrectly sized rubbers?

One major error I’ve heard people make is not realizing pre-ejaculate still contains sperm cells. Maybe not as much as actual semen, but enough. I’ve heard of people having unprotected sex for a good portion of time and then, as they feel they’re reaching climax, they’ll stop and put the condom on. That’s really just my understanding of how people end up pregnant after swearing up and down that whoever had the penis was wearing a condom. Sure they did in the end, but it’s kind of like putting a mask on 15 minutes into being in a room full of sick people. (This is why comprehensive sex education matters)
