More teenagers are having unprotected sex and they know less about contraception, an international study claims.

The number of young people having unsafe sex with a new partner increased by nearly a fifth in Britain and more than doubled in France, the research for World Contraception Day revealed.

It also found that only half of the teenagers surveyed in Europe received any sex education in school, compared to three-quarters in South America, Asia Pacific and the U.S.

Yet in the U.S., more than half of the respondents were having unsafe sex with new partners, and the figure had increased by more than a third.

WCD's Denise Keller said in a statement today: 'No matter where you are in the world, barriers exist which prevent teenagers from receiving trustworthy information about sex and contraception, which is probably why myths and misconceptions remain so widespread even today.'"

Since, Angie was available (Yipee, no biology for a couple of hours), I thought it best to bring her to my show - Soul talk to discuss this topic.  Yes, we talked about teenagers and sex. What their thoughts are on sex?  How should they be approached? Is there a difference between Teens in Africa and Teens in the Diaspora? etc

On Oral  Sex -"And the more oral sex someone has had — and the more partners they've had — the greater their risk of getting these cancers, which grow in the middle part of the throat. "An individual who has six or more lifetime partners — on whom they've performed oral sex – has an eightfold increase in risk compared to someone who has never performed oral sex," she said."
