agree  Edgar Potter: Pelo inglês, é isso... Outros colegas estão a interpretar a frase de outra maneira, mas em Inglês bem escrito, seria "bias against condoms _themselves_ or _in themselves_" Se foi bem escrito em Inglês, é outra questão. Depende do contexto.

a própria


Explanation:
Minha sugestão é que não vai ficar bom em português traduzir o on their own, soa meio redundante. Eu traduziria simplesmente: O preconceito contra a própria camisinha em geral é muito comum, ou dependendo do contexto, prefiro somente: O preconceito contra a camisinha em geral é muito comum
