Student attitudes to sex, STIs and contraception
Condoms are 98% effective in preventing pregnancy and the only contraceptions listed to protect from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if used correctly. This means the condom was put on before penetrative intercourse and it does not split nor finds itself slipped off from the start to the end of its use.
Pulling out on the other hand is NOT in any way protective from pregnancy and even less protective from STIs, hence the fact that roughly 13% of respondents rely on pulling out and 8% on prayer, is only shocking.
Plan B is a morning after pill taken to prevent pregnancy, similar to the daily pill, should be taken as soon as possible after sex and can be found in most pharmacies and GPs.

I have cheated… Cheating by department Chemistry students cheated the most,
