No. The only surefire way to prevent pregnancy and STDs is abstinence. If you do have sex, use a condom every time to protect against unplanned pregnancy and STDs.

No problem. We often prescribe such condom for premature ejaculation. But prologed use may decrease sensitivity of penis leading to erectile problem, though very rarely.
Dotted condoms have specially designed raised dots on the outside to increase excitement and sensation exactly where you want it. Dotted condoms have been created to add extra friction and greater stimulation and enjoyment for the receiving partner, evoking a deeper sexual response from both.
You can?t feel anything when you wear a standard condom, but when you use a ribbed one the extra texture can lead to greater friction and enjoyment. The ridges can add pleasure to both the penis and the vaginal wall giving extra sensation to both of you. Choosing between conventional condoms and textured condoms is entirely up to you as it is such a personal choice. It?s all about having some fun between the sheets experimenting and discovering what feels good for both of you.
Ideally ovulation time is fixed but since sperm stays active and alive for good 3 to 4 days in female genital tract its risky still to have sex without condom 5 days before periods, suggest use a condom to remain safe.

Hello-
No type of condom prevents pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) 100% of the time. But if you and your partner are having sex, nothing protects against STDs better than a properly used condom. Choose condoms made of latex, which is thought to be most effective in preventing STDs.
