Resumen

Objetivo: evaluar la aceptabilidad (comodidad, facilidad de uso, lubricación y placer) del uso de condones interno y externo en parejas estables. Metodología: este ensayo cruzado aleatorio incluyó a 54 parejas (108 individuos adultos). Se pidió a los participantes que evaluaran las medidas de aceptabilidad de ambos tipos de condones utilizando la Escala Visual Analógica. Desarrollamos un modelo jerárquico de tres niveles [nivel 1 = tres medidas repetidas (wave, tipo de condón); nivel 2 = individuo (género, edad); nivel 3 = pareja (secuencia de presentación del condón interno versus externo)]. Resultados: la dimensión "facilidad de uso" representó la mayor diferencia entre los tipos de condones para hombres (g de Hedges = 0,96; p <0,0001) y mujeres (g de Hedges = 1,62; p <0,0001). Independientemente del género, los condones externos se desempeñaron mejor (1,61; 95% HPD = 1,41 – 1,81). Los hombres dieron puntuaciones más bajas en general (-0,62; 95% HPD = -1,16 − -0,10). Conclusión: el condón externo obtuvo mejores resultados que el condón interno para las mujeres y sus parejas masculinas. Las puntuaciones tendieron a mejorar con el uso repetitivo del condón. No hay evidencia de la influencia de la edad de los individuos o de la secuencia aleatoria de uso del condón con respecto al puntaje promedio de las cuatro dimensiones.
