这项研究旨在确定城市公共性传播疾病诊所的男性患者在性行为开始后戴上避孕套和在性行为结束前摘下避孕套的可能相关性。参与者回答了一份问卷，主要是18至35岁的非洲裔美国男性，他们在过去3个月内至少三次在阴茎阴道性交时使用避孕套。在对照分析中，没有高度积极性正确使用避孕套的男性在性行为开始后戴上避孕套的可能性几乎是正常男性的两倍。在性行为中报告勃起功能丧失的男性在性行为结束前取出避孕套的可能性约为男性的两倍。报告避孕套的贴合性和感觉有困难的男性提前取出避孕套的可能性高出2.5倍。确定的相关性可能是服从以诊所为基础的教育和咨询，通过提供各种品牌和尺寸的避孕套给患者。
This study aimed to identify possible correlates of putting condoms on after sex has begun and taking them off before sex has ended among male patients of an urban, public sexually transmitted disease clinic. Participants responded to a questionnaire and were largely African American men, 18 to 35 years old, who had used a condom during penile-vaginal intercourse at least three times in the past 3 months. In controlled analyses, men who were not highly motivated to use condoms correctly were nearly twice as likely to put a condom on after sex had begun. Men who reported erection loss during sex were about twice as likely to remove condoms before sex ended. Men reporting difficulties with the fit and feel of condoms were 2.5 times more likely to remove condoms early. Identified correlates may be amenable to clinic-based education and counseling augmented by offering a variety of condom brands and sizes to patients.
