Abstract: Attitudes toward condom use are among the best predictors of condom use. However, it is not entirely clear how these attitudes are shaped. This study aimed to assess the role of sexism in condom use attitudes. For this purpose, a total of 581 Colombian participants answered the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, Ambivalent Toward Men Inventory, and Multidimensional Condom Attitudes Scale, including several sociodemographic and condom use questions. Non-representative sampling was virtually performed. The results show that hostile sexism is only a good predictor of negative attitudes toward condom use in men. Programs promoting sexual health should include elements that lessen this form of sexism among men.
