There are several misconceptions about condoms that can lead to improper use and reduced effectiveness:
Condoms break easily: While breakage can occur, it is usually due to improper use or storage. Using condoms correctly greatly minimizes this risk. Condoms reduce pleasure: Many people find that condoms do not significantly affect sexual pleasure, and some types are designed to enhance sensation. Two condoms are better than one: Using two condoms (double-bagging) can cause friction and increase the likelihood of breakage.
