性活跃的异性恋大学男生(N = 93)提供了超过1,500次性接触的数据。饮酒、对酒精影响避孕套使用的预期以及性伴类型均对避孕套的使用有影响。性伴类型与饮酒和使用避孕套有协变关系。这些男性与新伴侣一起饮酒明显更多,其次是临时伴侣,然后是固定伴侣。相比之下,他们更有可能使用安全套与新的合作伙伴比与临时或固定的合作伙伴。饮酒减少了避孕套的使用,但仅限于临时性伴侣。对酒精的性抑制作用的期望也减少了安全套的使用。这些数据表明,饮酒确实会减少安全套的使用,特别是在与临时伴侣以及饮酒者认为酒精会改变性抑制时。提高对艾滋病毒和其他性传播疾病在临时伴侣中传播的知识,并挑战对酒精作为性抑制剂的期望,可能有助于减少艾滋病毒和其他性传播疾病的传播。
Sexually active heterosexual college males (N = 93) provided data on over 1,500 sexual encounters. Alcohol consumption, expectancies about alcohol's impact on condom use, and partner type each contributed to use of a condom. Partner type covaried with alcohol consumption and condom use. The men consumed significantly more alcohol with new partners, followed by casual partners, and then by regular partners. In contrast, they were more likely to use condoms with new partners than with casual or regular partners. Drinking alcohol decreased condom use, but only with casual partners. Expectancies about alcohol's disinhibiting sexual effects decreased condom use as well. These data suggest that alcohol consumption does decrease condom use, particularly with casual partners and when drinkers believe alcohol alters sexual disinhibition. Improving knowledge about HIV and other STD transmission in casual partners and challenging expectancies about alcohol as a sexual disinhibitor could help decrease the spread of HIV and other STDs.
