The aim of this paper was to know the practices and to deepen into the meanings that teen males, in two context of Mexico, give to the condom use in their sexual relations. The information comes from a qualitative research that takes as a base the theoretical line of the Social Constructionism. The research was made in the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey and in a Guerrero’s Municipality. The study populations were males under the age of 19, In the moment of the interview they had already begun their sexual life. For the compilation of information two group interviews and 28 in-depth interviews were made. The analysis of the information was inductive from the Grounded Theory using the software Nvivo10. The results allow understanding that from the context, to which it refers, the practices and meanings in the condom use will vary. Much of it will depend especially the risk’s image and perception the male makes of the women, this marks the type of meeting and the condom use in his sexual relations. It can be concluded that the hegemonic model of masculinity and the unequal relations of genre allow the teenagers of the studied contexts to socially construct connotations and meanings of the condom use which have consequences in their current and future life.
