Why do we need to learn how to use a condom when we don't have a dick?

Even if you don't have a penis, it's useful to know how to use a condom. Knowing how to use one properly is about protecting yourself, not just the person wearing it.

If you're ever in a situation where a condom needs to go on, you want to know it's being used properly. That's not someone else's responsibility. That's yours too. If your partner puts it on wrong, or says they don't know how, or tries to skip it altogether, you being able to say "here, let me" or "that's not right" could be the difference between being protected and not.

Condoms are the only form of contraception that also protects against STIs. If you're relying on someone else to handle that, you're trusting them with your health. It's much better to understand it yourself.

There's also a practical point: condoms have an expiry date, they need to be stored properly, and there's a right and wrong way to open one. If you've never been shown how, you wouldn't know any of that. And if you ever need to use one in the moment, you don't want that to be the first time you've thought about it.

Even if you do not have a penis, knowing how to use a condom helps you protect yourself.
