Condoms can cause both men and woman infections.

Some woman and men are sensitive or allergic to the materials that condoms are made from so some woman may get infections in their vagina and some men may notice rashes on their penis.

Even the lubricant that you're using for sex and In addition to irritation and itching, these ingredients can lead to bacteria growth which can then lead to infection.

If you're getting rashes on your penis or the woman is getting a vaginal infection when you wear condoms it could be the material the condom is made from.

Or you could be allergic to the lubrication you're using for sex.

You can also use Vaseline as a natural sex lubrication for sex and masturbation and it's usually less irritating than some other lubricants are.

In fact, condoms are used to prevent infections. I've never heard it can cause infection but many people are allergic to latex, that's why it's better to choose latex-free condoms or another birth control method. It's individual so don't forget to consult a doctor if you have any discomfort.
