Three groups of people took part in the study

1. 157 heterosexuals.
2. 177 women who like men.
3. 106 homosexuals.

The age of the participants ranged from 18 to 25 years. All of them were interviewed by a psychologist. The latter cited scenarios for the development of intimate relationships as an example in order to get a clear idea of ​​who behaves and how during sexual contact. After completing the stories, respondents were asked to explain why they did what they did. When it came to condoms, the behavior of representatives of different groups differed significantly.

Men and women from the first group were more likely to have unprotected sex than other groups. Many of them simply didn”t care. The second group complained that the length of a standard condom is 17 cm, which is not a problem for them, since the likelihood of unprotected sex with a condom is higher for them than with a condom. The problem is that the average size of an erect penis is less than 15 cm. This leads to the penis constantly sliding down or the folds of latex pressing on the penis.The girls agreed to refuse sex if their partner forgot or did not want to wear a condom. However, women were more likely to be confident in their choices and take risks, for example if they had proven themselves to be faithful partners, which takes time. For gays it was much easier. They prefer to agree on all parties in advance, so as not to waste time on unnecessary conversations.
