在全国有代表性的3 321名20-39岁男子的抽样调查中，对使用避孕套的后果以及首选避孕套的特征进行了调查。最常被引用的心理和人际关系影响是，使用避孕套“表明你是一个关心和关心他人的人”。这在黑人男性和受教育程度低的年轻男性中尤其如此。然而，同样是这些男人通常也认为使用避孕套会给伴侣传递不想要的信息--例如，这样做“会让你的伴侣认为你有艾滋病”，“表明你认为你的伴侣有艾滋病”。相反，白色男性和那些受过高等教育的人在购买避孕套时往往会把尴尬作为使用避孕套的常见后果。最常提到的与避孕套有关的后果，特别是在黑人、未婚、年轻和受教育程度低的男性中，是使用避孕套会导致感觉降低，在性行为中必须小心，否则避孕套可能会破裂，在性行为后必须迅速撤回，否则避孕套可能会脱落。在购买避孕套时，大多数男性都会选择那些容易戴上、润滑程度合适并能持久的避孕套;这些偏好在黑人男性中尤为普遍。很少有男性认为颜色、罗纹和伴侣对避孕套类型的偏好是重要的。
Perceptions regarding the consequences of condom use, as well as preferred characteristics of condoms, are examined in a nationally representative sample of 3,321 men aged 20-39. The psychological and interpersonal effect most often cited is that using a condom ''shows that you are a concerned and caring person.'' This is particularly the case among black men and men who are young and have low educational attainments. However, the same men usually agree that using a condom sends unwanted messages to one's partner-for example, that doing so ''makes your partner think that you have AIDS'' and ''shows that you think that your partner has AIDS.'' In contrast, white men and those who are highly educated tend to cite embarrassment when buying condoms as a frequent consequence of condom use. The device-related consequences cited most often, particularly among black, unmarried, young and poorly educated men, are that using a condom results in reduced sensation, that one must be careful during sex or the condom may break and that one must withdraw quickly after sex or the condom may come off. When purchasing condoms, most men look for those that are easy to put on, have the right amount of lubrication and stay on; these preferences are particularly prevalent among black men. Few men identify color, ribbing and partner's preference for condom type as important.
