Study: Rural Hoosiers Struggle With Proper Condom Usage

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- An Indiana University study indicates that rural Indiana men have trouble using condoms properly, a finding that researchers say leads to an increase in sexually transmitted diseases.

The study found high occurrences of men putting condoms on incorrectly and high instances of men who lost erections before or during sex.

Health experts are concerned that couples could be discouraged from using condoms when they have problems with them.

Researchers said the survey results point out a need for the dissemination of more public health information regarding condom usage. Researchers said couples should be encouraged to make condom use an erotic part of sexual activity.

"Most research explores whether condoms are used consistently," said William L. Yarber, senior director at Indiana University's Rural Center for AIDS/HIV Prevention and a researcher at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction. "We've found that's just part of the issue of condoms being an effective contraceptive and STD barrier."

Research was conducted by telephone. 75 rural men were asked about their last condom use experience and the last time they had sex with a woman.

I was living in the East Bay at the time.

Oops, it was my second wife, not the first ~ it's hard to keep track of all of them. *sigh*

Met a friend of mine one time coming out of the drug store, he said "I just picked up my yearly supply of a dozen condoms, hell I don't know why I bought a dozen, 8 of the 12 I bought last year dry rotted." :)

If you have old, dried up condoms around the house - please feel free to use them according to this post.

I think they need to put a graphic step-by-step instruction page inside every condom, just like they do in every box of tampons.

Step one: Think of something that will give you an erection, and that does not mean your momma for all you non-society corrected men.

Man, I can't go any further or I'll get banned!!! LOL
