How efficient are condoms against pregnancy? I know there is always a chance, but how high is that chance? A friend told me, because sperm is so small, some can get through the latex of a condom, kinda how air leaks out of a balloon.

Gunblade I know 3 girls who have gotten pregnant when they used condoms!! Im not saying they arent effective because sometimes they are im just saying that sometimes they arent if you are having sex or thinkin about it just make sure he at least pulls out before he cums yah theres pre-cum but at least he pulls out before fully cumming or get on the pill or shot or patch!!! Good luck hun!!! Much lvoe and god bless!!!
