The Hotter A Girl Is The Less Likely A Lad Is To Wear A Condom, Says Research

For fuck's sake lads, I've just had a look at some research and it's telling me that you've stopped paying attention to what your sex education lessons taught you.

A survey has found that the hotter the girl, the less likely the guy is to wear a condom. And they'll do it even if she has A HIGH RISK OF HAVING AN STI.

For shame mate, for shame.

I know what you're saying. Maybe you didn't have a condom, maybe you were drunk, maybe she was too hot to turn it down.

But c'mon, everyone knows it's a good idea to wrap it up - especially if it's someone you just met off Tinder, or on a night out.

Here's how the research went. A total of 51 heterosexual men were surveyed by two UK universities and asked loads of probing questions about their sex lives.

They were then given 20 pictures of women's faces and asked to rate them by attractiveness, whether or not they'd have sex with them, how likely they were to use a condom and how likely the women were to have STIs.

The results found that the prettier the woman, the less likely they were to wear a condom.

Or, as the researchers put it: "Male perceptions of attractiveness influence their condom use intentions; such risk biases could profitably be discussed during sex education sessions and in condom use promotion interventions."

To be fair it was a small study and I know you're not necessarily like that, but sort it out if you are, lad.
