Yes, most condoms are pre-lubricated. This lubrication reduces friction, making intercourse more comfortable and reducing the risk of the condom tearing. It is important to check the packaging as some condoms come with extra lubrication or specialized lubricants for different purposes. If additional lubrication is needed, ensure you use a compatible lubricant (water-based or silicone-based) to avoid damaging the condom.
