Abstract

The article discusses in greater detail some examples of the pleasure deficit for women in sexual and reproductive health research and programs. Since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the public health approach to women's and their partners' use of male condoms has evolved significantly. It explores studies that examine how the desire for sexual pleasure shapes women's willingness to use male condoms.
