A European study that “explores attitudes to sex, love and life” has found that 56% of respondents had sex for the first time without using any form of birth control.The study, conducted by Bayer Schering Pharma, found that about half of people “found condoms to be an interruption in foreplay.” Most of them agreed that the birth control pill helped them have more “spontaneous” sex.
That’s not very good news. Sure, the pill is effective at preventing most pregnancies — but it does nothing to protect either person from getting a sexually transmitted infection, or STI.
The pill won’t stop you from getting sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as herpes, gonorrhea, or even HIV/AIDS. And you can’t tell from looking at someone whether they’ve got an STI. The only effective way to protect yourself is by using a condom EVERY time — and yes, that includes your first time.
The study did contain some good news too, which interestingly enough came from people in Ireland:
Love is still the number one thing to spice up sex, according to Irish respondents.
I agree. Gotta love the Irish.
