Survey Says: The Condom Conundrum (May 2016)

Condoms are widely available, relatively cheap, and provide protection against pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They’re also the only method of contraception designed for men (excluding vasectomies) and nearly all sexually active men have used them at some point. But how do men feel about using condoms? Power to Decide and Cosmopolitan magazine teamed up to find out.
