The best "age" for using condoms isn't about chronological age, but rather the moment you become sexually active.
According to the reference:
- "From the time one is sexually active, using a condom becomes imperative."
In other words, regardless of your age, if you are engaging in sexual activity, using a condom is essential for protection. Condoms, when used correctly, can provide up to 98% protection against unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Therefore, condom use is recommended from the onset of sexual activity, irrespective of age.
