In sexual health and education programs lots of information is passes on that encourages young people to use condoms for ALL unsafe practices. Unfortunately research is indicating that only 25% of women who engage in anal sex use condoms for this, while over 60% of men that have sex with men and engage in anal sex use condoms. ( I dont have statistics for women that have sex with women).
Is this because we as educators dont spend enough time talking about anal sex? Is it because young people dont see anal sex as 'sex'? Could it be that people are being coerced into unprotected anal sex?? Could it be that the workers who should be giving the safer sex message are to afraid to mention anal sex. Whatever the reason we need to ensure that the safer sex message is getting out there for ALL forms of unsafe practices.
