In a study it is revealed that a fourth of the teenagers in the US will end up with a sexually transmitted disease because they prefer not to use condoms regularly.
Teens avoiding condoms believed that they reduced sexual pleasure and were also more concerned about their partner's disapproving condom use, according to a study.
Researchers from Bradley Hasbro Children's Research Centre (BHCRC) and three other institutions surveyed more than 1,400 adolescents and young adults between the ages of 15 and 21 who had unprotected sex in the previous 90 days. The findings will appear in the September/October issue of Public Health Reports.
But researchers belive that these attitudes may be easily influenced and changed through clinical and community-based interventions.
