以下是一篇新闻报道的段落：“Surprise, surprise … Slightly more than half of women surveyed report using at least one protective measure during sexual activity, but only one in four women said that they consistently use a condom, according to a new study from the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University. For the survey, 1,047 women were asked about their sexual history and behavior, as well as their use of condoms, dental dams, and other protective methods. However, only 50 percent of those surveyed had ever used a dental dam or similar latex barrier, and nearly 60 percent had never used one at all. Research shows that dental dams can help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections, but many people may not know about them or may feel uncomfortable using them.”
