SW5's take on condom use for anal sex is to support current research which has shown there is no difference in the breakage of different strength condoms. Previously we would always have advised using extra strong condoms for anal sex.

What is important though is that you use a generous amount of water-based or silicon-based lubricant with a condom when having anal sex. This is to reduce any friction caused by rubbing which may cause the condom to break.

After you put a condom on the erect cock put a generous amount of lube on the whole length of the cock, not just the end. Lube can also be applied to the arse. DON'T put lubricant on the erect cock before you put the condom on, as this could cause it to slip off.

Using more than one condom on top of each other doesn't make the sex safer. The condoms can rub together and again cause friction which could cause them both to break. So it is less safe to use more than one condom at a time.

Always check that the condom hasn't reached its expiry date. Look after your condoms. Exposing them to heat can cause them to perish. Also take care when opening the packet so that nails and teeth don't rip the condom inside. Never use a condom more than once.
