male condom

Latex birth control

A male condom is a thin sheath worn over the penis during sex to prevent pregnancy and reduce transmission of sexually transmitted infections.

The modifier distinguishes it from the female condom, which is inserted into the vagina.

In practice, "condom" without qualification almost always means the male variety.
