Safe sex?

What's the sign of a "happy" relationship? Wearing a condom whenyou're sleeping with someone other than your usual partner. According to University of Quebec psychologists, when cohabiting gay men are satisfied with their relationship, they're more likely to practice safe sex during extracurricular liaisons. The findings mirror studies of heterosexual marriages: the "happier" the relationship, the more partners look out for each other's health. Researchers didn't bother to ask whether partners were aware of each other's outside activities.
