The male condom should be placed on the erect penis before sexual intercourse.

The principle of contraception is to physically stop the semen from entering the partner's body. Most modern condoms are made of latex, but there are also condoms made of other materials, such as polyurethane or lamb's intestine.

Female condoms are usually made from polyurethane and are reusable.
