Question
how does one have a child if one uses a condom? i mean it is necessary not to wear a condom if you want to have a baby, right?
Answer
Yes, if you want to get pregnant you should not use a condom. BUT, if there is a good reason to use a condom, for a medical reason, for example, your partner has warts, herpes, Hep b, or HIV, then talk to your doctor about the options - please do not risk your own health.
