	Condom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Condoms are also often used to keep a sex toy clean, such as a strap-on dildo, both making cleanup easier, and in cases of toys shared between partners, helping provide STD protection.
		Condoms are best put on the erect penis as soon as an erection is achieved and before any contact with the other person's body, and should always be put on before contact with a vagina or anus.
		Condoms and other mechanisms of contraception, along with abortion, are prohibited by the Roman Catholic Church for Catholic couples in canonically valid marriages, and condemned by some conservative Protestants for moral reasons.
