Irresponsible attitude of over 45s leads to sexual health and STI risks

People aged 45 and up are continuing to risk their sexual health through unprotected sex and ignorance of STI transmission, according to a new survey from The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.

As the BBC reports: "a quarter of the 45-54-year-olds surveyed said they did not use contraception as they trusted the person they were sleeping with not to have an STI, with one in 10 saying they did not like the feeling of condoms." (Many over 45s ignore STI risks.)

However, as Lisa Powers from the Terrence Higgins Trust points out: "It's more embarrassing to get an infection than to use a condom."

Buying sexual health items online at LoveHoney is a great way to save embarrassment. From a comprehensive selection of condoms and dental dams, to female contraception and intimate lubricants, there are products to suit every sex life.
