I've always been intrigued by where those 2% come from, since condoms are a physical barrier... Teleporting sperm?

- Maxatar 1y agoThe statistics show that the 2% comes from breakage/slippage, micropores and manufacturing defects: https://www.contraceptionjournal.org/article/S0010-7824(04)00157-X/abstract https://www.contraceptionjournal.org/article/S0010-7824(04)0...
- Mawr 1y agoMostly misuse. The studies are all nonsense AFAIK, they rely on the participants to use the condoms correctly, which predictably doesn't happen. Problems the studies mention, like slippage and breakage are the result of misuse, probably due to choosing the wrong condom size. The only reason for a properly used condom to not work would be a manufacturing defect, which should be extremely rare, certainly not 2%, that's plainly ridiculous and immediately disqualifies any study that claims so.
