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.

ROFLMAO! "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."

Am I the only one who sees a bunch of guys with a beer in one hand and a big 'ol grin on their face when they got asked those questions on the phone?

ROFLOL.
I usually don't comment on these threads. But I am laughing so hard I can barely breathe.

Why exactly did they have to specify "sex with...a woman?"

Oh man, this is just funny on so many levels. And yes, your mental picture is exactly what sprung to mind.

Bwahahah. Gasp. Holding sides. Bwahahaha.

" Rural Hoosiers Struggle With Proper Condom Usage"

I'm disappointed. I thought this was going to be a story about a unique group of people who have to install their condoms with a tire iron. You know, a malady known as the "big daddy" syndrome.

I didn't know we had that problem here in Indiana. I wonder if it's just something with us Hoosiers?

I didn't know it either. I kind of took it as an insult, like we were outside some national average of stupidity or something.

"were asked about their last condom use experience and the last time they had sex with a woman.


Are the two related?

That's the way I read it. And it's only "rural" Indiana men who can't seem to figure out how to use a condom. *rolls eyes*

Max - I pinged everyone I could by copying the first few names from one of your bra posts. (Seems to have been a lot of those lately) Would you consider FReepmailing me your whole list so I can include everyone?
