Popis:	This study examined students’ perceptions regarding condom use scripts (N=280). Using an experimental research design, this study sought to determine whether subjects would perceive a hypothetical female‐initiated condom use scenario to be more realistic than a male‐initiated condom use scenario. Sexually conservative females who received the female‐initiated scenario perceived it to be more realistic than sexually conservative females who received the male‐initiated scenario. Sexually active females, sexually conservative males, and sexually active males reported no significant differences regarding the perceived realism of the condom initiation scripts. These findings suggest that traditional sexual scripts are less prevalent than previously reported, and that discussions about condom use prior to first sex are uncertain communication episodes.
