Researchers from Yale University find that for young adults, sticking to traditional gender roles makes them less comfortable and therefore possibly less safe in the bedroom. Researchers recruited 357 women and 126 men ages 18 to 29, all heteroséxual and séxually active.
Study head Lisa Rosenthal and her team had subjects respond to survey questions on their séxual confidence and séxual assertiveness in a private cubicle, where there was a bowl of female condoms with a sign that read: “Protect yourself and your partner. Please take some! Free Female Condoms.”
