Drugs And Safe Sex

  • Gender-based power imbalance is also seen in sexual relationships that require the adoption of risky sexual behaviours
  • If the male decides not to use a condom the female often agrees because she:
  • Feels she does not have the power to object
  • Wants to confirm or create trust and intimacy in the relationship
