External/penetrative condom (Also known as male condom)
An external/penetrative condom is a thin cover that is rolled over the erect penis. It is usually made of latex, but can also be found made of lambskin or polyurethane for those who have latex allergies. The condom catches the sperm inside, until it is carefully removed. Use the condom from "start to finish" of each act of anal, oral or vaginal intercourse.
Halton Region Sexual Health Clinics offer free insertive/receptive and external/penetrative condoms at all clinic locations. Dental dams and other barrier methods are also available. If you are a school or community agency and would like to order free condoms, please contact sexualhealth@halton.ca or call 311.
