Associate Scientist Erick Janssen, and Stephanie Sanders, assistant director of The Kinsey Institute, are heading a two-year project addressing barriers heterosexual men might experience using male condoms, according to a press release.
In the first phase of this project, men will be asked about various issues of arousal and sensation, including physical experience and perceptions about condoms, according to a press release.
The second phase involves a laboratory study, and focuses on penile erection and sensitivity during condom application. The project aims to understand the relationship between condom application and loss of erections and decreased sensation, including the role of condom skills and performance anxiety, and to find new ways to improve condom use among those who experience such problems.
