Study Finds Rural Men Often Use Condom Incorrectly
“Men who live in rural Indiana often use condoms incorrectly, according to a new study that Indiana University sex researchers say underscores the shortcomings of sex education in Indiana’s public schools. Almost half the 75 men statewide who answered the survey’s questions about their latest sexual encounters with women admitted waiting too long to put on a condom or taking it off too soon… ‘Many schools don’t talk about condoms for pregnancy and STD prevention, and even fewer talk about the details of correct use,’ Yarber said. ‘From a public health perspective, we feel that information leads to less risky behavior.’ But critics worry that could encourage teenagers to have sex instead of waiting until marriage… How responsible Hoosiers are about sex isn’t clear. The state’s teenage pregnancy rate dropped by 11 percentage points from 1999 to 2003, according to the state Department of Health. But reports of chlamydia and other sexually transmitted diseases jumped about 12 percent in the same period, according to the agency.” —WAVE (US)
You know that old fable about the country mouse and the city mouse? Here’s a new twist on rural simplicity and urban sophistication. This study showed that folks who live in the sticks tend to get their condoms wrong. Probably this represents that trend for conservatism in the countryside and liberalism in the city. Urban kids are more likely exposed to somewhat decent sex education. Country kids get their sex education watching barnyard animals. And frankly cows and pigs are just not exemplary in their use of prophylactics.
Accordingly, you can sympathize with the causes that lead rural youth to misuse their rubbers. On the other hand, if you look at the details of the report, it doesn’t make a lot of sense. The study claims that rural youth are guilty of “waiting too long to put on a condom or taking it off too soon.” How much education does it take to determine when to put on a condom and when to take it off? You’d think it would be pretty obvious.
If guys are waiting too long to put them on, it can only mean that they’re having unprotected intercourse and then donning a condom just prior to ejaculation. In other words, they’re worried about pregnancy, not about disease. And if they’re taking them off too early? It’s hard to see what that means. They’re intentionally ejaculating inside their partners? They’re taking them off in the middle of the act and then pulling out? They’re just throwing all caution to the wind and fucking with unprotected abandon?
At any rate, given how much better sex feels without a condom, you almost wonder if this study could cause a weird new twist on the old fable. Learning that that the country mouse is backward in its use of prophylactics, the city mouse goes trawling in the hick towns in search of the bareback kicks it can’t get in the city…
Reminds me of a story about aid workers in Africa, because of lauguage barriers etc, they would demonstrate how to use a condom by rolling it over a banana or stick….
An African male would, just before sex, roll a condom over a banana or stick then have sex.
Seems a bit crazy, but this is a country where they have allsorts of crazy witch doctor related medicine, including a potion that makes you bullet proof.
