Young, educated, and indulging in risky sex

Young and educated men who have casual sex are less likely to use protection then older customers who visit brothels, a survey has found. The study, led by Assoc Prof Wong Mee Lian of the NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health. sampled 1,219 heterosexual Singaporean men on their sexual risk behaviour.

Assoc Prof Wong said the men who met women online or at entertainment venues may be putting themselves at greater risk due to their spontaneous and alcohol-fuelled behaviour.
