It has been estimated that incidence of condom breakage for inexperienced couples is around 1-8%, but decreases to 1% in couples with more practice. The break can depend on several factors, such as more or less experience in using this method, behavior and sexual practices, poor conditions, quality, materials and condom sizes that are too tight. Some studies have documented a greater tendency of rupture for polyurethane condoms compared to those of pure latex.
In the unfortunate event of rupture and leakage of sperm, sexual intercourse is not protected from the risk of unwanted pregnancy or the risk of infection. You can immediately wash yourself and resort to emergency contraception as soon as possible by taking the so-called “morning after pill.”
