A shocking survey into the sexual wellness and wellbeing of people in Britain today has revealed that around 20 percent of the population would have sexual intercourse with someone who they knew had a sexually transmitted disease.
The survey was carried out with a group of 18 to 30 year olds, 19 percent of whom said they would sleep with someone even if they knew that they had an STD. Of the people in the survey who said that they theoretically would, it was found that in fact 39 percent of them had unprotected sex in the past with a partner that they knew had an STD. Most of those surveyed said that they just wanted to have intercourse and deal with any consequences later. Of this group, 11 percent said that they ‘always’ let their passions get the better of their common sense.
These statistics equate to one in five young adults saying that they would have sex with someone despite knowing that person had a sexually transmitted disease. The research was commissioned by an online pharmacy, and carried out with a group of 1, 231 young adults. The thought process behind those who were willing to take the risk was generally just that they would ‘deal with any repercussions later’.
Some of those who said that they would have sex with someone who was suffering from an STD said that they would be happy to go ahead, because it was ‘impossible’ to catch an STD if you used protection (which his categorically untrue).
In addition to those who said that they definitely would have sex with someone who was suffering from an STD, a further quarter of those who were asked the question said that it would depend on which STD their partner was suffering from.
