Condoms used in one-in-four heterosexual encounters in the US

A quarter of heterosexual adults in the United States used a condom the last time they had vaginal sex, researchers from Indiana University have found.
Respondents generally reported that condom use made no difference to sexual pleasure, to orgasm, or to maintaining an erection in men.
However, men reported a small but statistically significant diminution in sexual pleasure when they used condoms without also using an extra lubricant, and women reported more difficulty in achieving vaginal wetness.
Women were less likely to know than men whether condoms were pre-lubricated or what they were made of, though very few reported using an oil-based lubricant with a condom.
