    How do you know if a condom splits?
    Is it obvious to tell when a condom splits? If a couple have sex and afterwards the bed is wet with a clear liquid, is this from the girl or could it mean the condom split? Sorry but I'm having a panic!

    Well, you have to consult the oracle at Thebes. Then, upon sacrificing seven fine virgin cows and fourteen wildfowl, you are sent to a seperate room for two weeks. On your return, the Oracle will give you a riddle, from which you can fathom the answer.

    Alternatively whip the condom off your cock and check for holes.

    When/if it splits, it will be obvious. Once that rubber goes, it goes pretty badly. If someone were to deliberately perforate it, it might not, but if it splits it will split all the way.

    Not to be graphic, but wet patches on surfaces used for sexual activity are very likely. And they come from the girl...

    If a condom splits, funnily enough semen gets places, and that's a bit more visible.

    Yes, it is very obvious after 9 months.

    Remove the prophylactic, and examine it closely: if the condom has split, you will notice that the condom has split, and, as such, it appears to be split.

    I hope this helps.

    If your not sure you should fill it with water (I know this sounds disgusting after it has been used) and even the smallest hole will become noticable as water will spray out.

    Like someone said, if it splits "naturally" then it'll completely split, and the guy (at least) should feel it. If you're in the middle of a particularly enegrgetic thrust and it splits, it can feel not unlike being pinged on the bellend with an elastic band.

    Whether or not your sexual partner will stop if he realises it's split is another matter. Especially if you don't have another. heh.

    Why? I mean, I know that women get wet when aroused, but is it enough to spill out?

    And another thing I don't understand. When having sex, as guys can only come once, does that mean that's it. You do it once and it's all over?
    If so, why do some people like sex so much if it doesn't actually lost that long.

    Compelling logic.

    Yeah Baby! Ha some girls. Google female ejaculation.

    And Yeah when a condom splits they usually completly rip so its pretty obvoious. Never seen one with a tear in, they usually fall apart just leaving the "ring" bit round your penis, and another bit either completly missing or dangling by a thread...
