Why people don't use condomsMany men and women prefer unprotected sex or using another contraceptive method rather than using a condom. Among currently married women of childbearing age, only 5 percent use condoms for contraception worldwide, and only 3 percent in less developed regions of the world, according to United Nations estimates of contraceptive use . In this chapter we will analyze or try to explain why some people do not use condoms. To do this, we used a theory from the book “Social Psychology” (7th edition) by David G. Meyers. We also used a lot of information obtained from the Internet. In the book mentioned above, they explain that everyone views human skin as a special boundary that separates one set of casual forces from another. On the sunny side of the epidermis are external or situational forces that exert pressure on the person, and on the fleshy side are internal or personal forces that exert outward pressure. Sometimes these forces come together in conjunction, sometimes in opposition, and their dynamic interaction manifests itself in observable behavior. In the figure below you can see a figure that explains Harold Kelly's attribution theory. Using the figure above, you can conclude for yourself whether the following reasons are internal or external attribution. Furthermore, we have divided the causes into two parts. The first part concerns the reasons of people in developed countries and the second part concerns the reasons of people in developing countries. Developed countries The most common reasons given by people in developed countries for not using condoms relate to the following questions. : lack of sensation or interrupted sexual pleasure; psychological and social factors, including marital communication and assumptions that condoms are intended for use in extramarital affairs and with prostitutes; lack of availability of condoms, including policies prohibiting the distribution of condoms to young people; and lack of confidence in the reliability of condoms themselves. To make condoms more acceptable and more widely used, all of these issues need to be addressed. Factors affecting condom acceptability can be thought of as a series of concentric circles that interact with each other - from the individual at the center to the couple. , the health system, the community and the entire world.

Fearing that this will encourage sexual activity outside of marriage, many service providers and pharmacists do not make condoms easily accessible to young people. Adolescents may be hesitant to obtain condoms available at clinics because service providers are judgmental of them. Young women may be particularly shy because it is considered inappropriate for them to look for condoms. Limited distribution systems make access difficult, particularly in rural areas. Government sources may be relatively few and widely dispersed, or private sector sources may favor wealthier urban areas, resulting in uneven availability within a country. In 2000, donors provided less than a billion condoms of the estimated eight billion needed in developing countries and Eastern Europe. to significantly expand access to those who need it. Many..
