“…Burgeoning research among samples of “older” adults (11, 12) and college students (13, 14) suggests that attitudes about how condoms impact sexual pleasure may influence condom-use practices, though this work has focused primary on men (15, 16). One exploratory mixed-gender study documented that both adult women and men who reported that condoms undermine arousal and enjoyment were least likely to use them (17).…”

How do young people’s attitudes about whether condoms reduce pleasure shape condom practices—and, in turn, exposure to STIs and unintended pregnancy? Using a nationally representative sample of 2,328 heterosexually-active, unmarried 15–24 year-olds, we documented multivariate associations with condom non-use at last sexual episode. For both young men and women, pleasure-related attitudes were more strongly associated with lack of condom use than all socio-demographic or sexual history factors. Research and interventions should consistently assess and address young people’s attitudes about how condoms affect pleasure.

“…Cependant, selon , la satisfaction sexuelle des femmes utilisant le préservatif masculin serait tout de même supérieure à celles des femmes n'utilisant que la CH. Aussi, Hensel et al (2012) montrent la possibilité d'augmenter le plaisir ressenti en fonction du contexte sexuel mis en place.…”

“…A study on sexual pleasure among heterosexual men during condom-protected vaginal sex found that sexual pleasure increased in conjunction with specific condomrelated perceptions, along with specific relational and physiological factors (Hensel, Stupiansky, Herbenick, Dodge, & Reece, 2012). A study by Randolph, Pinkerton, Bogart, Cecil, and Abramson (2007) found that collegeage men who believed that condoms reduced pleasure were less likely to use condoms.…”

“…For that reason, safer-sex education for men using prescribed ED medications may present more challenges than for men in general. Hensel et al (2012) found that erection problems decreased sexual pleasure. Health promotion educational activities must address the psychosocial implications of ED as well as the goal of overcoming any potential fears or concerns regarding use of condoms.…”

Condom Attitudes of Heterosexual Men Ages 50 and Older Using Prescribed Drugs (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra) to Treat Erectile Dysfunction

et al. 2013

The purpose of this study was to explore attitudes about condoms that may affect condom use by heterosexual men ages 50 and older who were sexually active and currently using prescribed oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor medications (Viagra ® , Cialis ® , or Levitra ® ) for treatment of erectile dysfunction. The study was part of a larger study that explored the need for safer-sex health promotion and education for these men. Fifty men completed factor subscales of the Condom Attitude Scale. Subscales were scored and analyzed. Positive factors were found with regard to the Interpersonal Impact, Inhibition, Perceived Risk, Perceived Seriousness, and Global Attitudes subscales. Factors with negative or neutral responses included the Effect on Sexual Experience, Relationship Safety, and Promiscuity subscales. Independent t tests revealed no differences between married and nonmarried men for the mean score on any of the subscales, but there was a difference on the Global Attitude Scale, with younger men having a more positive global attitude than older men. Study findings can be used in the development of health promotion educational activities on condom use as a safer-sex practice.
