Safe SEX to YOUNG couples in Vietnam

I've found some meaningful websites about SAFE SEX for Young couples in general and for Vietnamese young couples in specific.

SAFE SEX FOR YOUNG COUPLES

Experiences from youths about safe sex


And here is my favorite part. After finding a lot of websites, I found great reasons why couples don't wear condoms :D

Shyness

  • Too shy to buy a condom.
  • Too shy to have a condom in her/his bag/room which can be see by parents/friends/fixed partner.
  • Too shy to ask to partner to wear condom during intercourse protocol.

Fears

  • Psychological fears induce by lack of sexual experience/maturity.
  • Fear that partner will leave if insisting too much on safety requirement. That fear is more severe in love context or financial precariousness.
  • Fear of temporary impotence that condom can induce.

Pleasures disturbance

  • "Less feeling".
  • "Delayed orgasm" of male.

Love

  • Love induce psychological blindness and fears which can induce dangerous atitudes
  • Love is also typicaly stronger in adolescence which is commonly associate with lack of experience.

Generalized intellectual disturbance

  • Lack of instruction. Unable to deal correctly with scientific information.
  • Natural lack of intellectual resources: poor IQ, mental diseases.
  • psychological diseases which induce wrong decision because unbalanced relation between "logical requirement" and "affective requirement" ...

Gaps in medical knowledge

  • Dangerous optimism regarding progress of medical sciences
  • Conviction that HIV is now curable disease
  • Under evaluation of treatment constraints

Alcohol, narcotics...

  • Alcohol.
  • Psycho stimulants ("extasy", "cocaine"... which are also use as erectile drugs)
  • Other narcotics. Can add another danger in the list of dangers induced by other drugs: the addiction! Addiction can drive to very dangerous behaviour ("wild prostitution"...)

Religions

  • Integrism and consecutive stigmas
  • Ethic and religion..

Fear of ethic corruption

  • Parents can fear that making condoms available to kids can corrupt them by inducing or encouraging sexual activities.
  • 02- Wives or "official partners" can fear that to put a condom in the pocket of partner can increase the risk or encourage extraconjugal relations.
