Let’s be real for a second; safe sex is the best kind of sex (10 Photos)

January 27, 2021 admin All funny

When you’re young, single, and on the prowl, you pretty much can have your pick of consensual sexual partner, if you play your cards right. But with that life, comes a whole host of drawbacks. Some as simple as getting them to leave the next morning and not steal your shit, to the more serious ones like STI’s and unwanted pregnancies. So, what’s a horny fella to do? And how safe is everyone else being?

According to a survey conducted by UK-based Superdrug Online Doctor, how we define safe sex and how we practice is, is an evolving thing.

At least according to these 800 blokes and ladies.

When we’re single, there are a lot of stereotypes that we think we need to live up to. There’s more freedom, more fun and most importantly, more sex. Without commitments, we expect that our nights should be spent across a series of revolving beds, strange new bodies, and sexy experiences. But, the truth is far from that.

According to the survey results, the majority (66%) of people had only one partner in the past month. In fact, the result show that young people are actually starting their sex lives later on in life, and having less sex on average, than their parents.

Thankfully,

Based on frequency, there’s a pretty even split between those that get laid less than 1x a week and those that get it 1-2x a week. There’s a lucky 20% that find themselves naked and sweaty 3+ times a week.

When you take a look at the age breakdown, those of us in our 30s and 50+ are getting it less than weekly, while millennials and Gen X are getting lucky more often.

In fact, almost a quarter of those that are single in their 40’s are actually getting it every couple of days. Lucky guys.

But whether or not you’re getting down and dirty bi-monthly or twice a day, you need to be safe. Sadly, most people consider using protection only to avoid pregnancy, and seldom think about STI’s.

Luckily, 81.3% of single men reported using condoms to keep safe, but an alarming amount of dudes say they’re going in bare. Then there are the brave dudes (8%) that rely on withdrawl, which is risky if you’re not careful.

On the other end of the gender spectrum, most women seem more concerned with pregnancy, than STI’s. Most use forms of birth control, while only 10.7% use a physical barrier that they provide.

Better safe, ladies and gents.

Follow their lead.

Taking a closer look at singles using barriers during their last sexual encounter, it looks like most were being smart. Most of either sex used some sort of barrier, while 21.5% of women just relied on birth control, compared to 10% of men.

That’s probably because over a third of women were pressured into just going with it, and skipped the condoms.

Now for the confusing part. While most contraceptives are geared towards preventing pregnancy, you’d think that’s because it’s what the market wants. Instead being worried about STI’s, we’re more worried about getting knocked up, but the reality is the opposite; we’re more afraid of catching something.

This particular answer is universal across the sexes, but women are slightly more worried about the STI’s, than men. Also, more of them ask their partners if they’ve been tested, prior to getting down and dirty.

On the individual side, more men admitted to getting tested than women, which makes sense as statistically, they’re the more promiscuous ones, and also, they’re more likely to forgo any sort of protection. Yikes.

Even worse, slightly half of the men and 30% of the women didn’t even bother getting tested after having sex without a condom.

Considering that the longer you go in your single life, and your relative age, you tend to have a higher average of unprotected sex, so you’ve really got to wrap it up and get it checked more often.

It’s just common sense.

Holistically though, what does it all mean? Well, in layman’s terms, single people should only have unprotected sex after both parties have been tested and they’ve talked about it beforehand. But, if this is a one-night stand you’re talking about, what do you do?

According to the survey, one-nighters are on their way out. On average, men have had 4 one-night stands while single, while women have halved that. Most just seem to have a friends-with-benefits situation.

The study revealed that there’s comfort in familiarity. People tend to enjoy sex more when it’s with a close friend or in a relationship, rather than single activities. This tends to allow for a more thorough understanding of what the risks are and ensures you’re safe. Makes total sense.

Thankfully, we live in an age where protection and testing aren’t all that hard to come buy, so with enough forethought and a quick chat, you can have all the sex you want.
