When condoms break during sexual intercourse, it is usually because they were used incorrectly. Did he make sure that there were no air pockets inside the condom after he rolled it on but prior to sexual intercourse. He should pinch the tip of the condom between his thumb and forefinger while he rolls the condom onto the erect penis. He should also smooth out the sides of the condom to ensure there are no air pockets. Did you use an oil-based lubricant with the latex condom? Oil damages condoms and can cause them to break. If additional lubrication is needed, use saliva or a water based lubricant. Did you check the expiration date of the condom to make sure that the condom had not expired?
