Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: In contemporary societies young men receive much misleading information about sex from friends, the media and the internet (porn) which can make them feel insecure and under pressure regarding sex. The purpose of this study is therefore to understand their sexual world better and learn about their sexual health needs, especially regarding condom use.
METHODS: The study is based on two qualitative studies: focus groups and individual interviews. Recruitment of participants took place through schools, a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) Clinic and a Gay and Lesbian Organisation. The interviews were thematically analysed using the framework method.
RESULTS: Forty-nine individuals, 18-25 years old, participated in both studies. The findings showed that the participants had a number of unmet needs regarding condom use which reduced this use. They described uncertainty regarding condom use by not prioritising them, showing lack of knowledge and communication skills. It was of high priority for them to seek sexual pleasure and not be disturbed in the process of having sex.
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that young men have a great need to perform sexually and not to fail. This need represents insecurity in a sexual relationship. When insecurity, inability to communicate and feeling under pressure come together using a condom is not prioritised. These young men are in great need of holistic sex education that would enable them to become secure in mastering condom use.

摘要：
目的：在当代社会中，年轻男性从朋友那里收到很多关于性的误导性信息，媒体和互联网(色情)，这可能会让他们感到不安全，并在性方面面临压力。因此,这项研究的目的是更好地了解他们的性世界,了解他们的性健康需求,尤其是避孕套的使用。
方法：该研究基于两项定性研究：焦点小组和个人访谈。通过学校招募参与者，性传播感染(STI)诊所和男女同性恋组织。使用框架方法对访谈进行了主题分析。
结果：49个人，18-25岁,参与了两项研究。研究结果表明，参与者对避孕套的使用有许多未满足的需求，从而减少了这种使用。他们通过不优先考虑避孕套的使用来描述不确定性，缺乏知识和沟通技巧。对于他们来说，寻求性快感而不是在做爱过程中受到干扰是当务之急。
结论：结果表明，年轻男性非常需要性生活而不是失败。这种需要代表了性关系中的不安全感。当不安全时，无法沟通和压力下的感觉聚集在一起使用避孕套不是优先考虑的。这些年轻人非常需要全面的性教育，这将使他们能够掌握安全套的使用。
