That’s not to say that there are any condoms which are ‘wrong’, it’s just that there might be different things to bear in mind.Why are condoms for gay men so important?
Because there’s no risk of pregnancy here, gaymen sometimes assume that condoms aren’t completely necessary to apply for sex. But this isn’t the case. Sadly, there are still soaring rates of STIs among the gaycommunity. In London alone, 90% of new syphilis cases were among gaypeople. Plus, these recent diagnoses went from 1, to 2, between , which represented an increase of %. So, this is a situation which is clearly not going away.

Sexual health for same-sex attracted and bisexual men
Having unprotected penetrative sex is the most likely way to pass on a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Using a condom helps preserve against HIV and lowers the risk of getting many other STIs.
If you’re a man having sex with men (MSM), without condoms and with someone brand-new , you should have an STI and HIV evaluate every 3 months, otherwise, it should be at least once a year. This can be done at a sexual health clinic (SHC) or genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic. This is important, as some STIs do not bring about any symptoms.
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A is a liver infection that's spread by a virus in poo.
Hepatitis A is uncommon in the UK but you can acquire it through sex, including oral-anal sex ("rimming") and giving oral sex after anal sex. MSM with multiple partners are particularly at risk. You can also get it through contaminated food and drink.

The Internal Condom
There are a lot of problems linked with condoms. Latex tastes and smells bad, and some people have terrible reactions to it. Condoms should fit snugly on the penis but can lead to loss of erection. Some people neglect to wear a condom correctly, if at all. Some folks get bored with using condoms and want something different.
The fine news is that there’s a non-tightly fitting, non-latex, easy-to-use alternative that’s on the market for a decade called the internal condom.
The internal condom is often called the “Bottom condom” or “Female condom.”
It’s like a regular condom, only larger, and it is inserted in the rectum (or vagina) instead of being rolled onto the penis. Inside the condom, there’s a tiny ring that holds it inside the rectum. There’s also a large dial that holds the internal condom in place outside, making slippage very tough. It’s made out of polyurethane instead of latex, so it’s safe for people who are sensitive or allergic to latex. Polyurethane warms to skin temperature more quickly and feels more like skin.
