Condom question

Probably sounds dumb, but I never really thought about this.

If a condom does not roll all the way down, and some of the base of my penis is exposed am I at risk to get a STD? Since this uncovered part is going in the pussy? Or are they transmitted via my urethra, and the glans is the main part which should remain covered.

You can still get an STD.

Men have a 1 out of 16 chance to catch an std whereas women have a 1 out of 2 chance. This is not to say you should gamble, but your chances of catching something are relatively low when compared to women. Go buy a bigger condom. The magnums work great and the xls are good for complete coverage. Also you can buy larger condoms online. Hope this was helpful.

Yes, it is commonly understood that women have a much greater chance of contracting a VD from any given encounter than a man does. However if you’re going to toss random numbers (statistics) into the mix it is preferred that you also include a link to the source. Thanks.

Not dumb at all brother. There are two main routes of transmission. First, is the exchange of bodily fluids.
Second, is skin to skin contact. Diseases such as herpes and HPV (warts) are transmitted via skin to skin contact. Several doctors I’ve had discussions with in the past have stated that it’s actually quite common to observe herpes infections / sores at the base of the penis and the inner thighs. Everywhere the condom didn’t cover. It’s something to be aware of, but nothing beats knowing and being able to trust your partner.
