| | Teen Sex Unsafe Even With Main Lovers |
 | | Sexually active teens say they use condoms more often with casual sex partners than they do with their main sex partners -- that is, someone they consider a spouse, a lover, a boyfriend, or a girlfriend. |
 | | For each sex act, they were asked whether their partner was a "spouse, lover, or boyfriend or girlfriend." If so, the partner was considered a main partner; if not, a casual partner. |
 | | The researchers conclude that when advising teens on safe sex, it's important to stress the need for consistent condom use -- regardless of the teen's feelings toward the partner, sense of the partner's commitment, or the length of the relationship. |
