From the article:
A new study has confirmed what most sexually active gay men will already know: Less of us are using condoms when we have sex compared to ten years ago.
The study, published in AIDS and Behavior, was conducted by researchers at the University of Washington. It drew its data from the American Men’s Internet Survey (2014-2019). It looked specifically at men who have condomless anal sex with men who are not on PrEP.
The number of men in the study having condomless sex rose by 2.2% each year. However, the rise was greater in younger men (rising 7.2% per year for those aged 15-24 years) and Hispanic men (rising 18%).
Overall, condom use remained more popular than PrEP. This might be partly due to barriers to obtaining PrEP, among other factors. Around 15% of the men were taking PrEP.
The vast majority of men questioned believed condoms to be “very effective” (60%) or “somewhat effective” (36%) at preventing HIV transmission.
However, 24% said they “never” used condoms, compared to 50% who said they “always” or “sometimes” used them. The remainder said they rarely used them.
Clearly, there is a large number of guys having condomless sex who are not on PrEP. If their partner is HIV positive and undetectable, they cannot pass on the virus. However, not everyone knows their HIV status or is on treatment.
Besides HIV, condoms can also help prevent the transmission of other STIs. The rise in gonorrhea and syphilis diagnoses in the US in recent years is in part related to declining condom use.

Is this what we're heading towards? Marketing to women is already overboard but now this?
Um?????? You found it weird? That was weird to you? Ok sure whatever. The condoms are ph balanced and the brand is female owned. Congrats. U cared the bsre minimum for women's health. But why on earth is it (in your mind) up to women to take on this also????
Don't women generally bear the brunt of ensuring reproductive health already? Taking bc, getting tested, risk of pregnancy etc etc. Now you wanna market condoms to women too? And you can check out the page, that's 100% what's going on it's not even subtle.
Like girl. Don't let men convince u of this and make a whole BRAND about it. You're not the cool girl for thinking of this and I'm sorry men made you feel that way.

Finding the Best Sexologist in Mohali for PE Treatment
Introduction
Premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most common sexual problems in men, affecting up to 30% of men worldwide. It is defined as ejaculation that occurs sooner than desired by the man or his partner. PE can be a source of significant distress and embarrassment for men, and it can have a negative impact on their relationships.
There are a number of factors that can contribute to PE, including physical and psychological factors. Physical factors can include medical conditions such as diabetes and thyroid problems, as well as certain medications. Psychological factors can include stress, anxiety, and depression.
If you are struggling with PE, it is important to seek professional help. A sexologist is a doctor or healthcare professional who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of sexual problems. Sexologists can help men to understand the root cause of their PE and develop an effective treatment plan.
My personal story with PE

One day, I finally decided to seek help from a sexologist. I was nervous at first, but the sexologist was very understanding and supportive. He helped me to understand the root cause of my PE and develop a treatment plan.

Here’s some fascinating information about the average length of an erect penis:
Did you know that the average length of an erect penis is around 5.16 inches? This measurement can vary from person to person, as we are all unique in our own way. However, it’s important to keep in mind that size is not the only factor that contributes to sexual satisfaction. Other factors such as technique, communication, and emotional connection are equally if not more important in creating a fulfilling sexual experience.
It’s also interesting to note that studies have shown that the size of the flaccid (non-erect) penis does not necessarily determine the size of the erect penis. This further emphasizes that size is not everything when it comes to sexual pleasure.
Remember, sexual satisfaction is a highly individual experience and what matters most is open communication, consent, and understanding between partners. Focus on exploring and discovering what brings pleasure and arousal to you and your partner, as this can greatly enhance your sexual experiences.
If you have any more questions or if there’s anything else you’d like to know, feel free to ask!
Make sure to share, like, comment and follow😊😊.

Everyone likes talking about how poorly treated girls are about puberty, but at this point can we just talk about how fucking horrible boys are often depicted in puberty nowadays?:
Girls' puberty - A emotional roller coaster full of physical, mental, and setting changes for a woman's body and societal status.
Boys' puberty - Sex-obsessed child grows hair and beats meat.
This isn't to say to stop talking about Girls' puberty. I think we just need to stop making those for Boys' seem dastardly simple yet explicitly more vulgar because well, first of all this simplification is describing 10-17 year old boys. Literal children.
But another thing is that this depiction makes boys seem like they never have emotional changes like girls do bc "Girls are the ones with emotions, not boys! Boys are obsessed with sex all the time! They only ever think about sex and punching through drywall!".
This need to make boys look "stoic" and "strong" only ends us with a disgusting and problematic depiction of puberty in boys (Who I remind you again, are mostly underage and thereby children). Everyone goes through massive emotional changes in puberty. EVERYONE. Girls may just so happen to be treated worse (Bc society), but we need to stop making boys seem like they don't have emotional changes as well just to make them sound 'cooler'.
