62. Interview #1!
• Personality traits: blunt, outgoing, fun, confident
!
• “I usually feel neutral, kinda proud that I'm a responsible adult and taking
contraception into my own hands so I don't end up on "Teen Mom 3.”
!
• “In a monogamous relationship, I feel like it's both party's responsibility to
make sure that you guys are taken care of. I don't feel like it's solely his
responsibility. No way. It's my body, and since I'd end up getting preggers,
I like to protect myself and ensure my own sexual safety.”
!
!
63. Interview #2!
• Personality traits: reserved, self-conscious, traditional in beliefs
!
• “Yes I do think it's the man’s job [to buy condoms.] I think it's easier and
society is more forgiving when a male purchases condoms over a female.
Although I realize I should buy condoms because it's MY body, I do think
men should because it's their responsibility to take care of the female if
that makes sense?”
!
• “It does give the brand a little more credibility when branded that way so I
would buy them because they seem more high class.”
!
!
64. Interview #3!
• Personality traits: kind, calm, laid-back
!
• “If I was going to buy condoms, I would consider the SKYN brand
because they are making an effort to position themselves as [the right]
choice for women, and that makes me feel like they understand women
too.”
!
• “I feel like generally I would trust latex over non-latex, but that is just
because I know that most condoms are made of latex and I'm not sure
what the other materials would be.”
