Encouraging people to talk openly and freely about sex is fundamental to decreasing the number of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), it has been claimed.

Spinvox, a service that captures spoken messages and sends them to destinations as texts, urged young people to be more open about sex, after research revealed that 14 per cent of 18-30 year-olds have booked a holiday simply to have sex with a stranger.

The research - conducted in collaboration with standbywhatyousay.com, a website encouraging people to be open about sex – indicated that there has been a six per cent rise in the number of STIs diagnosed in the UK.

Jonathan Simnett, global head of communications at Spinvox, said: "One of the reasons that people are at risk from STIs and HIV and AIDS is because they are not open about sex and the subject of safe sex in particular."

Although many young adults exercise responsibility in taking out life insurance policies, some are less careful when it comes to sexual relations, a factor that is blamed on celebrity culture in a new report by the Independent Advisory Group on Sexual Health and HIV.

Those concerned about sexual health might consider taking out UK life insurance. ADNFCR-980-ID-18707256-ADNFCR
