Abstract: The purpose of the present research was to compare men’s and women’s perceptions
of female contraceptive behavior and investigate the relationship between
sexual experience and these perceptions. One hundred forty-six predominantly
Caucasion males (n = 76) and females (n = 70) were randomly
assigned to one of three sexual scenarios in which a male provided the condom
in a sexual encounter, a female provided the condom, or no condom was
used. They were then asked to rate the female on several behavioral and personality
measures and to complete a sexual experience scale. Results showed
differences in the way men and women perceived the female target. A positive
correlation was also found between sexual experience and more favorable
perceptions of the sexually-prepared female.
