I was just wondering, I'm here to ask if anyone's tore a condom before and if it could actually go by unnoticed.
How small can the tear/breakage be?
I check the condom usually after sex - stretch it a lil and push the cum around (sounds disgusting I kno but it really does give me a lot more calm mind, especially after the first time. Her period was like 2weeks late an we both got really worried. If I check it like that is it still highly possible for me to miss a breakage? Or can you actually feel and know the condom has broke because of the extra air or lol I dunno it could b a real small tear and yea help me out guys? 
sperm can live for up to 5 days... i doubt 2minutes would kill it!
Yes, you are right, that wasn't a very smart thing to do. Our HIV teacher said the exact same thing the other day. She was like, you know kids will realize they put on the condom backwards so they just turn it over and put it back on. Hopefully you were lucky this time, but next time, please just pay attention and if you do it wrong, put on a new one. Precum isn't the only thing you have to be worried about.
lol I dunno what happened once but i nearly put on the condom the wrong way, it was on and I realised just before I unrolled it. I couldn't see precum on the condom but wiped it wif my finger and backhand just incase anyway, about a minute or two passed before i slipped it on the other way. Now I'm aware that its not a good idea at all to do that but how high would u think for sperm to catch onto the hardly any (because I couldn't see it) precum? an is it true that sperm dies pretty quickly so that the minute or two that passed could've killed it?
Btw thanks for the resposne guys!
I'll add my vote for a spermicide. Every little bit helps.
If you are totally paranoid (like me, lol) you can run water into the condom afterwards. That should pinpoint any leak.
OK, again: if 100 sexually active women are protected by condoms for a year, about fifteen will become pregnant. That is the reason that her using a vaginal spermicide is recommended - foam, film, jelly, suppository.
Condom failures are rarely the result of noticeable breakage or leakage through the latex. Most failures are the result of sperm coming out the open end. That is why the package tells you to withdraw immediately after ejaculating.
A condom with a dab of vaginal jelly in it and an applicator full in her vagina is about as safe as being on the pill - 3 in 100.
Hi:
Well, as long as you are buying NEW condoms, the "failure" rate is very very very very very low.
Examining the condom after it's use isn't a bad idea, but the bodily fluids from you female partner could make it tought to tell. BUt, if if makes you feel better, keep doing it.
Just make sure that you are putting the rubber on prior to any penetration, that you make sure you don't get any precum on the outside of the condom,and you might want to use one with nonoxonol 9/spermicide jsut to be safe!
