What can a man take to prevent pregnancy?

What do you do if your partner doesn’t want to use a condom?
The best way to respond is telling him that it is precisely because you love him that you want to be sure you’re both protected and healthy. If your partner reads your suggestion to wear a condom as lack of trust (as you might be thinking that you might catch something from him), assure him that this is not true.
Why is there not a male contraceptive pill?
While it’s made some strides since then, men are still left with few options for birth control, besides a vasectomy. It’s not due to a lack of interest, but a lack of funding for research — and biology. Men produce millions of sperm each day. Even if that count is reduced by 90\%, they could still be fertile.
When is it safe to not wear a condom?
Orlando-based ob-gyn Christine Greves, MD recommends waiting at least two years before stopping condom usage. Two years seems pretty long, but her suggestion is based on the fact that it can take up to two years to clear high-risk HPV.
What happens when you don’t wear a condom?
Sex without condoms increases the risk of STI transmission between partners. For some couples, pregnancy is also a risk of condomless sex. You can reduce the risk of exposure to an STI by using condoms consistently every time you have sex. It also helps to get tested for STIs before sex with each new partner.
Should I use a condom or other form of contraception?
As with condoms, other forms of contraception must be used correctly in order to be as effective as possible. If you or your partner don’t want to become pregnant, it might be a good idea to use both condoms and another form of contraception — such as oral contraceptives or an IUD — to decrease the risk of pregnancy.

What kind of condom should I buy for my partner?
Unless your partner is superhuman, there’s a condom for him. He doesn’t go shoeless because he’s a big guy, does he? He shouldn’t go without a glove, either. Among the jumbo-sized options are Trojan Magnum XL Lubricated, Durex XXL, and Kimono MAXX.
How do you put a condom on the right way?
Put the condom on once the penis is fully erect. It’s important to put it on the right way: It should fit like a beanie, not a shower cap. If it’s hard to roll onto the penis, it’s probably the wrong way around. If you put it on inside out, throw away the condom and use a new one.
