A little thing called love: Condom use among high-risk primary heterosexual couples

One of the main reasons for a lack of satisfaction cited by women in the present study was partner dislike of condoms. Whether a male partner is willing to use condoms affects their use in a relationship, with women less likely to use condoms if their partners were not willing to use them. This reported low level of enthusiasm for condom use is associated with inconsistent use. Although most women in the present study reported that the decision to use condoms was equally shared between themselves and their partners, fewer women reported having more say in the decision to use a condom if they were with a regular partner compared with those in a casual relationship. A higher number of women with casual partners reported condom use, a finding that aligns with other studies reporting higher use of condoms with non-regular partners, usually for STI prevention.

As men who perceive greater disadvantages of condom use may be more likely to resist using them, we also explored the tactics that men employ en route for avoid using condoms. As accepted, participants reported advantages and disadvantages to condom use that pertained to the likelihood and attribute of sex, physical sensations all through intercourse, and the risk of STIs and unwanted pregnancies. Also, participants reported that men abuse a wide range of condom use resistance tactics - as well as seduction, deception, and condom damage — and that the abuse of these tactics is viewed as normative behavior for men their age. Correct and coherent condom use can greatly bring down the risks of STI broadcast and unplanned pregnancies; however, the majority of young men after that women report inconsistent condom abuse despite these risks CDC,

Strengths and limitations of this analyse First study to explore the relationship between perceived attractiveness after that condom use intentions in heterosexual men. Findings extend the creative writing by investigating the association amid own perceived attractiveness, sex after that condom use intentions. Small after that relatively homogenous sample. Reported condom use intentions may or can not reflect actual condom abuse behaviour.
