what is the chance of a condom breaking while having sex?

Statistically speaking, the odds are 1 in 12 that they will slip off or break. This is based on real people using them, not the factory settings under perfect conditions (which will tell you a much lower percentage to try and sell more condoms).

Think of it this way: you have a 12-pack of soda. One of them is poisoned, but the other 11 are fine. Do you still want to drink?

Personally, I think you should always use at least two methods of birth control. First should be the Pill because it is the most effective against pregnancy out of all the methods. Second, use a condom as an extra precaution (sometimes the Pill doesn't work if you skip a day or get sick or are put on another medication for a period of time) and also because it is the only method that helps prevent STDs.

It all depends if the condom was put on properly. It is always a good idea to have two forms of birth control. And NOT two condoms like in the song "I Love College." They end up rubbing together causing friction and then they are most likely to break. I don't know the statistics on condom breakage, but, lately, my friends have had some scares... Not that it's likely to happen to you. And, there is always Plan B.

.Condoms do break, come off, and leak. They are better than nothing, but less effective than hormonal methods of birth control...however they do help lessen chance of disease transmission also, and hormonal birth control doesn't affect that at all. Your best bet is b/c and condoms.

Minimum age should be 18. That's when a person is legally responsible for the consequences of their actions. Prior to that, your folks are primary responsible...and they shouldn't have to pay one cent toward medical bills for pregnancy or STD treatment for their kid.

If a person wants to have sex, they need to be able to handle ANYthing that might occur...physically, financially, and emotionally.

If ya can't pay, don't play. Otherwise, it's just irresponsible and should be illegal.

Sex not occur before:

1. You are ready to deal with a pregnancy, should it occur

2. You are ready to deal with an STD, should it occur

3. When you know how a woman can become pregnant (all the ways it can occur)

4. When you know what the various STDs are and how they are transmitted and how to help protect against them

5. When you are ready to insist your partner wear a condom (female) or insist that you wear one (male)

6. When you are on a reliable form of birth control and using it properly (female) or ensure that she is (male)

7. When you are ready to deal with any emotional issues that may come from being intimate with another person

Until you've got those things covered, you should not have sex.

you can get different kinds - some are really strong and hardly ever break but you get ones that are thinner for "sensation" and as a result they're a bit weaker. also the cheaper ones will be more prone to breaking.

generally speaking you'll be okay if everything's going smoothly - if there's too much friction it can strain it and end up breaking it.

you can get morning after pills that stop the fertilisation process though, i think you've got about a day and a half to get those things organised.

chances are slim but it could happen. If you are that worried, either take birth control, or if you don`t and condom breaks, there is what we call ''morning after pill''. You have to take it I think within 72 hours after. Talk to your doctor.

Nothing is 100%. If used properly the condom will keep you from getting pregnant. Trust your partner and hopefully, if it breaks he will pull out.

You aren't the one who is supposed to wear the condom.

Well, assuming it is put on correctly and you're not having crazy hardcore sex (which, if it's your first time, I think it's safe to assume you won't be) you should be fine. However, when it comes to teen pregnancy, I don't think there's such a thing as being overly-cautious.

According to the Maury Show, the chance is pretty good.

very very slim ---- check the specifications of the brand --- im sure if you google there will be something about failure rates
