Explanation
This comic is a parody of instructional guides, presented as "Sex Technique #2718: The Ferrous Phallus." The steps describe cutting jagged slits into a condom wrapper so that it can be torn open dramatically -- like snapping apart a piece of metal with your bare hands -- and then slamming it down onto yourself with a karate yell ("KYYYAAAA!").
The humor comes from the absurd over-the-top theatricality applied to the mundane act of putting on a condom. The man treats it as a feat of martial arts or showmanship, complete with dramatic arm-raising and a battle cry, while his partner looks on in bewilderment. Her question -- "Did you just explode that condom onto your penis?" -- and his clueless response -- "Why? How did your previous boyfriends do it?" -- imply he genuinely believes this is normal behavior, adding another layer of comedy.
