Q

What are the 5 steps related to proper contraception use for erotophoobes?

A
  1. Obtaining contraceptive information.
    - Erotophobes have less sex information than erotophiles do
    - Retain less than erotophiles when given the same sex information
  2. Acknowledging that sex may occur.
    - Erotophobes may not plan because they don’t acknowledge the possibility
  3. Obtaining contraceptives.
    - Erotophobes are more embarrassed thus less likely to use it consistently
  4. Communicating with a partner.
    - Erotophobes have difficulty talking about sex, may delegate to a partner
  5. Using contraceptives every time.
    - Erotophobes are less comfortable with sex and sexual stimuli thus will find contraceptive use awkward
