Your assumption is correct, in most cases. Sometimes, fertilization occurs externally, through scientific procedures, though that's not really germane to the topic at hand here.
[Mello does not want to get stuck explaining IVF to gods who don't even really know how human bodies work. He pinches the bridge of his nose, a futile attempt at staving off the headache he can already feel forming.]
Sex for humans isn't always about reproduction. In fact, more often than not, sex is about the experience - which, unless they're doing it incredibly wrong, people find intensely pleasurable. Which is why I thought you'd be the best choice for this request - you would greatly benefit from the outcome.
So to answer your question - yes. We humans need contraceptive devices to prevent pregnancy during these ... recreational sexual episodes. And not just pregnancy - there are a number of diseases that are spread through sexual contact, and barrier devices like condoms prevent that from happening.
[Just doin' it to... well, do it seems pretty weird, but Delight tries to file that away for further knowledge. It seems more like eating when you're not hungry or sleeping when you're not tired- but she supposes if there's pleasure to be had, it makes sense. Sort of.
Humans are rather hedonistic. After a moment of thought, Delight decides that she can work with that.]
Okay! So, these things you want are- mechanical? [The word 'devices' is kind of confusing, sorry bro.]

No ... you know how knives and swords have a sheath they fit into? They're like that.

[Well, that seems simple enough.]
What is it made from? I assume leather, like a sheath, wouldn't be comfortable.

[There's a pretty good idea in her head of what Mello is asking for now.]
I'll make them. You can find them stocked in the bar.
