1) Please state age, gender, sexual orientation, and whether you are or are not currently in a relationship. For the following questions, if you are not in a relationship, please answer them as if you were in a relationship.
35, M, Straight, Married
2) Do you practice safe sex (that is, using protective gear like condoms and dental dams)? What methods do you prefer to use?
Not always. We've been together for 16 years and the only birth control we use is Condoms or withdraw (20/80).
3) How do you acquire your protective gear? What are your feelings when you are buying/acquiring your gear (pride, confidence, embarrassed, etc.)? Why do you think you have these feelings?
Buy them at the drugstore. Was embarrased when I was a teenager but got over it. No big deal to it. I think it has to do with the fact that I relized everyone has sex and buying condoms makes me look responsible (STDs, pregnancy, etc.) rather than just some horny guy.
4) a. Why do you practice safe sex? How do you feel after you've had safe sex?
-or-
b. Why don't you practice safe sex? How do you feel after you've had unprotected sex?
To prevent pregancy. STD isn't an issue with my wife and I.
In the past when I didn't practice safe sex I always felt a little weirded out... (this was before I met my wife)
5) Do you use birth control? Does this affect your decision to practice safe sex or not?
Yes. No.
