研究表明，人们与常规性伴侣使用避孕套的频率低于与临时伴侣使用避孕套的频率，因为他们认为避孕套是不需要的。本文报告了四次小组会议和11次深度访谈的定性结果，在这些访谈中，14-17岁的有性经验的市中心青少年谈论了他们的性关系。报告描述了三种类型的关系：搞砸，只为了性；男朋友-女朋友，更亲密的关系；以及“丈夫-妻子”，模拟婚姻。这四种类型的关系在四个分析维度上有所不同，这四个维度赋予了它们意义：未来的承诺；公开与秘密的关系；对一夫一妻制的期望；以及情感和爱的程度。关于使用避孕套的决定受到这些维度的影响，在关注个人而不是夫妇的理论模型中，这些维度可能被低估了。
Research indicates that people use condoms less often with a regular sexual partner than with a casual partner because they believe condoms are not needed. This article reports qualitative findings from four group meetings and 11 in-depth interviews in which sexually experienced inner-city adolescents aged 14-17 talked about their sexual relationships. Three types of relationships were described: messing, for sex only; boy-girlfriend, a more intense relationship, and "hubby-wifey, "which mimics marriage. The four types of relationships differ along four analytic dimensions, which give them meaning: future commitment; public vs. secret; expectation of monogamy; and degree of affection and love. Decisions about condom use are influenced by these dimensions which may be underestimated in theoretical models that focus on individuals, not couples.
