Collection Condom

While the recommended method of semen collection is masturbation, using a collection condom is another acceptable method. Using a collection condom allows a couple to collect the sample during intercourse, at home. The used condom is removed following ejaculation, closed with a twist tie, and brought to the laboratory. This method provides a sterile and high-quality sample that can be used for semen analysis, artificial insemination, and in vitro fertilization. 

 

The collection condom can also be used by a couple following religious guidelines that prevent masturbation, for example, Catholicism and Orthodox Judaism.
