[quote=Anonymous]A big part of it is the perceived risk-reward ratio. For women there’s a higher risk to unprotected sex: pregnancy if she’s not on other BC and a higher STI burden (easier for women to get infected due to anatomy and being the receptive partner; often worse/more noticeable/more harmful symptoms). That’s paired with a lower reward: penetration often is not as pleasurable for women as for men; especially in casual encounters the climax gap is higher. And the difference in sensation between condom/ no condom for a woman is minimal, especially if there’s enough lubrication.

For men, on the other hand, they barely give a thought to pregnancy risk (happy to leave the burden on the woman). They don’t worry as much about STIs because a lot tend to be less symptomatic on men, less obvious, don’t threaten their fertility or they don’t worry about their future fertility, for example. Men get more out of sex, generally (they usually climax from PIV), and the difference in sensation between condom and no condom is much greater for them.

So, yeah, unless they are more considerate about their partners than the average man or more concerned about health & pregnancy than most they will resist the condom. The older they are the more resistant they become because the impact on sensation and performance is greater.
