Abstract
Monogamy may mistakenly be seen as effective protection against STIs because of condom stigma and positive illusions. Condom use in a relationship indicated low trust and love. In addition, participants judged their own relationships to be better than average in sexual fidelity and in their own ability to detect infidelity.
