There is always a chance that the condom could break. That would then make it possible for sperm to come out. Also, if not put on properly, the condom might no work as well as it should. Also, sperm could come out without the man or woman relaizing it before or after the condom is put on or taking off, which gives chance to pregnancy, too.

A small number of people are allergic to ordinary condoms, but for those there are special allergy safe versions available instead. It's not a dangerous allergy, so it's "safe" to try. If either partner experience itching, then try another kind.
