GASHWOUND Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 http://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_437111,0005.htm Hmmm, interesting... Men want unsafe sex: Report USA Today October 28 Some men are mentally primed for unsafe sex. The threat of catching a disease doesn't cool their desire, as it does for most people, and blue moods or stress can send them cruising for casual partners, suggests a Kinsey Institute study. There's very little known about how personality and sexual arousal habits affect the likelihood of adults pursuing risky sex, says John Bancroft, Kinsey Institute director. His study of 1,500 gay and heterosexual men identifies a minority, about 10% to 20%, who are most likely to engage in sex that could threaten their lives. The report on 589 gay men will be published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior. The findings on straight men will be published in 2004, Bancroft says. Results for both groups are similar. "For most of us, the way our bodies are set up probably makes it easier to do the right thing," Bancroft says. When depressed or stress-ed, 40% to 45% have less appetite for sex, and about the same percentage feel no change, past studies show. But a minority feel more aroused when they're upset. These men did more "cruising" for casual sex partners, many of whom they didn't know well. Sex that could lead to a disease or unwanted pregnancy causes many men to lose erections. The men who didn't have problems under these risky conditions also were more likely to practice unsafe sex, such as anal intercourse or without condoms. "They get excited despite the threat," he says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
