As the study showed, an average woman has 11 unprotected sexual contacts 11 times and at least four different partners. The holiday season is the most common time for such a risk.
British sociologists have decided to investigate the sexual life of girls under the age of 30 going on vacation. It turned out that as the long-awaited holiday approached, these girls changed their views on personal life and became much more relaxed. So, 10% plan to engage in unprotected sex, either with an absolutely unfamiliar man, or with someone they will meet during the rest.
More than 40% of girls who are not in a relationship tend to make love without a condom abroad, and 13% of women over 30 do not plan to use any contraceptive during a summer vacation. All this then leads to a sharp influx of patients into the offices of venereologists and dermatologists.
"The fact that a significant number of women practice unprotected sex is a source of serious concern," says Dr Tox Steele, the founder of the DrFox.co.uk portal, where the survey was conducted. "But even more worrisome to me is the fact that women do not just practice dangerous sex, but they plan to participate in it in advance.The people you meet on vacation are 100% strangers you know absolutely nothing about. And to engage in unprotected sex with them means to increase the risk of infection both STDs and HIV. " Psychologically, the desire to practice this kind of sex is associated with the attraction of women to adventures and adventures. Men traditionally consider sexual intercourse without a condom more pleasant from a physiological point of view.
