Can sperm go through a condom?

Nope! Sperm can’t pass through a condom. The only way that could happen is if the condom breaks or if it has a hole in it. Otherwise, sperm stays trapped inside the condom. That’s why condoms are so good at preventing pregnancy.

Bonus: STDs can’t get through condoms either, so they’re great for STD protection, too.
