Abstract
Britain has high pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease rates amongst the young. This may be due to inefficient sexual education and a lack of availability of accurate sexual information. Young males are particularly badly provided for as most available sex education is female orientated. The sex information sources that young males may use outside educational settings (school, parental home, health centre) may be equally unhelpful. These sources may include tabloid newspapers, men's lifestyle magazines and pornography magazines. As these publications are not educational, young males may be receiving inaccurate sexual advice/information. Further research needs to be carried out as the evidence to date is mostly anecdotal or unconfirmed.
