The current study was designed as part of the development of an intervention program implementing safer sex for adolescent females. This study explored the ways in which relationships with male partners were associated with safe or risky sexual practices among young women. The study sample included 17 unmarried women, aged 17 to 25 years, recruited from the obstetric & gynecologic clinic. Participation was voluntary and anonymous. We asked open-ended questions regarding participants' sexual protective strategies and relationships with their male partners. The interview lasted approximately 15 to 30 minutes, during which responses of participants were recorded verbatim. Procedures for the protection of human subjects were approved by the institutional review board at the College of Nursing Art and Science, Hyogo before data collection began. The results indicated that the majority of women reported using only condoms, and experienced anxiety regarding the 10% failure rate associated with condom use. Moreover, subjects reported that, regarding sex without condoms, they were more likely to interrupt intercourse in this situation rather than refuse to have sex. Concerning sexually transmitted disease protective strategies, participants also reported trying to refrain from having sex with people they did not know very well. Nearly all of the women rated themselves to be at no risk for STDs and mentioned that they knew their partner very well even though they had not discussed STDs with each other. Many expressed the belief that their partner was at no risk because he did not show symptoms of STDs. Furthermore, participants reported that sexual intercourse lead to knowing more about their partner and establishing a more intimate and closer relationship. In conclusion, some of the sexual protective strategies identified by study participants were less than effective and leave young women vulnerable to infection with STDs.

目前的研究被设计为实施青少年女性安全性行为干预计划的一部分。这项研究探讨了与男性伴侣的关系与年轻女性安全或危险的性行为之间的关系。研究样本包括17名未婚女性，年龄在17至25岁之间，从妇产科诊所招募。参与是自愿和匿名的。我们询问了关于参与者的性保护策略和与男性伴侣的关系的开放式问题。访谈持续了大约15至30分钟，在此期间，与会者的回答被逐字记录下来。在数据收集开始之前，人类受试者的保护程序由兵库护理艺术与科学学院的机构审查委员会批准。结果表明，大多数妇女报告说只使用避孕套，并对与避孕套使用有关的10%的失败率感到焦虑。此外，受试者报告说，关于不使用避孕套的性行为，他们更有可能在这种情况下中断性交，而不是拒绝性交。关于性传播疾病的保护策略，参与者还报告说，他们试图避免与他们不太了解的人发生性关系。几乎所有的女性都认为自己没有感染性病的风险，并提到她们非常了解自己的伴侣，尽管她们没有互相讨论过性病。许多人表示相信他们的伴侣没有风险，因为他没有表现出性病的症状。此外，参与者报告说，性交导致更多地了解他们的伴侣，并建立更亲密和更密切的关系。总之，研究参与者确定的一些性保护策略不太有效，使年轻妇女容易感染性病。
