You can't flip a condom because once it has touched the penis, it may have come into contact with pre-ejaculate fluid, which can contain sperm and sexually transmitted infection (STI) pathogens. Flipping it increases the risk of transferring these to your partner. Always ensure you put the condom on correctly from the start to maintain its effectiveness.
