What happens when a condom slips off?

I want to know what happens when a condom slips off during sex. Does it just stay in there or what? Lynn

It is possible that a condom can slip off during intercourse. The most common cause of this is due to leaving the penis inside too long after ejaculation, as the penis begins to go soft again and the condom no longer fits. If this happens then you must remove it.

It is important to realize that this puts you at an extremely high risk for unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The only way to avoid this is by abstaining from ALL sexual activity. Condoms do fail at times, regardless of what the package may say. And when it comes to protection from the 25+ STDs out there, the protection is minimal at best.
