2. Place the condom on the head of the penis, and pinch the tip. (This is important because it will leave room for ejaculation.) Before rolling it down, ensure it is not inside out. You can place a drop of (water-based) lubricant inside the condom if desired.

3. If the condom is inside out, dispose of it and restart. If not, roll the condom down. Put (water-based) lubricant on the outside of the condom.
