The percentage of women and men aged 15–44 who did not use a condom during any intercourse in the past 12 months increased with older age. The percentages were 15.7% and 6.9% among 15– to19-year-olds and 74.9% and 70.0% among 35– to 44-year-olds for women and men, respectively.
This statistic depicts the countries with lowest prevalence of condom use among its male population worldwide as of 2013. As of that year, Niger had the lowest prevalence of condom use among men worldwide. Only four percent of its male population aged 15-49 years used condoms.
Rates of condom use remained largely unchanged in recent years according to a report released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on data from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), with higher usage reported among those ages 15-19.
Nearly 60% reported using a male method of contraception at last intercourse (condom, withdrawal, or vasectomy). Male condoms were used by 45.2% of men at last intercourse, a percentage statistically unchanged from 2006–2010 (45.8%) and 2002 (44.5%).
Although the percentages of men who did not use a condom during intercourse in the past 4 weeks decreased over time (from 71.5% in 2002 to 65.9% in 2011–2015), condom nonuse remained common, with the majority of women and men in each survey period not using a condom at last intercourse.
Study reveals 70 per cent of women DON'T use condoms - and one in three had unprotected sex in the last month.
The use of female plus male condoms is more effective than use of male condoms only in preventing STIs and may be as effective as the male condom only in preventing HIV.
It turns out, quitting condoms is a common practice. A recent Trojan Condom compliance survey found that while 80% of American adults say condom use is important to them, only 35% always use one. Planned Parenthood reports that condoms are used by couples only 25% of the time during intercourse.
The answer might shock you. In surprising sex news: Men don't hate using condoms as much as you might think they do, according to a new study published in the International Journal of Sexual Health.

How effective is the pull-out method? The pull-out method is about 80% effective. About one in five people who rely on the pull-out method for birth control become pregnant.
Using two condoms can cause friction between them, weakening the material and increasing the chance that the condoms might break. No other method of birth control is as successful at protecting people against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) as a condom.
The survey also found that over two-thirds of condoms are purchased by men, and 65% of women had never bought condoms. Plus, just 3% of women carried condoms in their bags or purses regularly.

“In reality, condoms do provide a physical barrier between partners, diminishing what is normally highly sensual and intimate feel of the genitalia,” he said.
There is no denying that latex condoms reduce tactile sensation. However, the experience of pleasure is inherently subjective, reflecting the complex interplay of sensation, emotion, and cognition (Abramson & Pinkerton, 2002).
While condoms have proven to be effective in protecting against STIs, some people simply don't wear them — or ask their partners to — because they are uncomfortable. “If I'm in a long-term relationship, I won't use condoms,” a woman named Audrey, 22, living in Tennessee said.
Men love women who are thoughtful, caring, loving and kind. A woman who does little things for her man for no other reason other than that she loves him. A woman who makes him smile back whenever she smiles at him. A woman who radiates love and warmth from her heart.
