Research indicates that people use condoms less often with a regular sexual partner than with a casual partner because they believe condoms are not needed. This article reports qualitative findings from four group meetings and 11 in-depth interviews in which sexually experienced inner-city adolescents aged 14-17 talked about their sexual relationships. Three types of relationships were described: messing, for sex only; boy-girlfriend, a more intense relationship, and "hubby-wifey," which mimics marriage. The four types of relationships differ along four analytic dimensions, which give them meaning: future commitment; public vs. secret; expectation of monogamy; and degree of affection and love. Decisions about condom use are influenced by these dimensions which may be underestimated in theoretical models that focus on individuals, not couples.
研究表明，人们与固定性伴侣使用避孕套的频率低于与临时性伴侣，因为他们认为不需要使用避孕套。本文报告了来自四场小组会议和11次深度访谈的定性研究结果，在这些会议和访谈中，14至17岁有性经验的市中心青少年谈论了他们的性关系。他们描述了三种类型的关系：只为性的“厮混”关系；更亲密的男女朋友关系；以及模仿婚姻的“夫妻”关系。这四种关系在四个分析维度上存在差异，这些维度赋予了它们意义：未来承诺；公开与私密；对一夫一妻制的期望；以及情感和爱的程度。关于是否使用避孕套的决定受到这些维度的影响，而在侧重于个体而非伴侣的理论模型中，这些维度可能被低估了。
