Hungarian Teenagers No Fans of Protection, But Getting Smarter About It

Nine out of ten Hungarian teenagers did not use a rubber during their first bonking session, and half of those aged between 15 and 18 regularly get some action, writes origo.hu, based on a (print-only) report in daily Népszabadság. An international campaign to decrease the number of unwanted pregnancies – which is nearly 40% of all registered pregnancies in the world – was joined by Hungary six years ago. At the time Hungary joined the campaign, a study found that an average of 57,000 abortions were performed each year, 10% of which were on girls under the age of 18. By today, however, these figures have decreased to 46,000 and 5.3% respectively. However, while most youngsters were 17 when they lost their virginity, this age has since dropped to 15, meaning that while Hungarian teenagers are getting it on earlier, they’re at least being more careful when they do.
