Almost a quarter of people never or only sometimes use contraception with a new partner, a [UK] survey has shown.

The main reason for not using contraception is people “get carried away in the moment”, according to the poll of 3,000 people.

Almost 1 in 10 are “not bothered” about using anything, despite the fact 1 in 4 say they sleep around.

Asked about their sexual encounters, 11% said the majority of them were one night stands and 13% said most were made up of “quick flings”. Another 2% said they mostly slept with strangers….

Pharmacist Lisa McCreesh… said: “Our research challenges the belief that teenagers are more promiscuous than older generations. They unfairly get a bad name, while those in their 50s, who grew up in the 60s and 70s, are living up to the era’s carefree image as they take greater risks with their sexual health.”
