Condoms work by trapping sperm and thereby preventing them from entering the vagina and the uterus. They help prevent sexually transmitted diseases by providing a barrier between the skin of the vagina and the skin of the penis and by keeping semen out of your body.
Condoms provide good pregnancy prevention and STD protection if used properly (but can't protect you from exposure to sores or microscopic warts on the testicles or other uncovered parts). They're easy to obtain (except for those who are embarrassed to ask for them at a drugstore counter, which Penelope Hitchcock, chief of the Sexually Transmitted Diseases Branch at the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases, says is a real problem). They're relatively inexpensive, and convenient to carry and to have on hand for unplanned sex.
