Condom use may depend on the nature of a couple's relationship, rather than the partners' individual characteristics, suggests a new Dutch study.

Researchers found that couple-related factors like closeness in age and the seriousness of the relationship played a role in the variation of condom use.

"We found that when partners are more familiar with each other and when they are more alike, inconsistent condom use becomes more prevalent," Amy Matser of the Public Health Service of Amsterdam told Reuters Health.

Matser and her team surveyed a total 2,144 men and women who visited a sexually transmitted infections (STI) clinic in Amsterdam. Participants, half of whom were under 25 years old, were asked about their sexual behaviors with up to four of their most recent sexual partners.

Is this news?
Have researchers run out of things to research or do they just like find out things which are blatantly obvious?

Only have half of a book of paper matches. Solution was use some matches, then start fire in fireplace and use small pieces of kindling. Also double check pockets and find lighters.
