Emory Research: Young Adults Want To Feel Good, Reject Condoms

When will teenagers learn? If they want to get it on, they need to wrap it up.
 

Emory University researchers aided in a new study by the Bradley Hasbro Children’s Research Center that surveyed young adults between the ages of 15 and 21 who have recently had unprotected sex to find out why. And that is an excellent question.
 

Many of the participants in Atlanta, Miami and Providence are well within the age range of college students and I’d venture that at least some of them must attend school. How can educated men and women still think it’s a good idea to get down and dirty without any attempts at staying clean? Especially when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that about one in four teens in the U.S. will contract an STD. One in four! That means look around the room… if the other three people seem pretty prude, it’s probably you!
 

Well, the survey found that the teens who didn’t use condoms were more concerned that their partner wouldn’t approve and were more likely to believe that the condoms would reduce sexual pleasure.
 

Know what really reduces sexual pleasure? Finding out you have an STD.
