The WHO report is here.

A “worryingly high” proportion of European adolescents are having unprotected sex, raising the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies, according to an “urgent” new report from the World Health Organization (WHO).

Published on Thursday, the report also found that there has been an “alarming decline” in the use of condoms by teenagers in Europe since 2014.

The proportion of sexually active 15-year-olds who used a condom during their last sexual encounter fell from 70 per cent to 61 per cent among boys between 2014 and 2022 and 63 per cent to 57 per cent among girls.

The difference in figures was attributed to boys being more likely than girls to report condom use at their last intercourse.

      This seems to imply that men that sleep with multiple women don’t use condom, while the ones that sleep with less women use condom. Seems like the opposite of what it should be lol.
