Health news: Condom use not only helps prevent sexually transmitted diseases, but is also considered the simplest method of population control. Health experts advise the use of condoms to prevent diseases like AIDS, but unfortunately, despite all the publicity, people avoid using condoms.
On the one hand, awareness and promotion of condom use is happening all over the world, but many people still consider it embarrassing and taboo. Let us know how many people use condoms around the world.
How many people use condoms in the world?
Although the figures for condom use are much lower, people are nevertheless becoming aware of it. The Condom Alliance report states that while in 1994 only 64 million people worldwide used condoms, in 2021 the number of people using them has increased to 190 million.
If we see it, women believe in it more than men to avoid unwanted pregnancies. The report states that 33 percent of women worldwide use condoms to avoid unwanted pregnancy. If we only talk about countries, the Statista survey shows that Brazil is the country where condoms are used the most. Here, 65 percent of people use condoms. If we talk about sales, China is at the forefront in this area.

Why avoid using condoms
That’s a big question. Even in a country as populous as India, people are hesitant to use condoms and even talk about them. The mentality of men is one of the main reasons for this. According to a survey, men believe that if they use condoms during sex, they will experience less physical pleasure. For this reason, both married and single people are hesitant to use condoms. The second reason is the taboo behind it.
Men who are having sex for the first time think that if they use a condom they risk being labeled a playboy. At the same time, women are hesitant to ask their partners to use a condom during sex.
