The over 50’s fail to use condoms
The over 50’s are failing to use condoms, increasing the STI rate. It’s vital to use a condom to protect yourself. You can discreetly buy condoms online, such as Durex condoms and ultra thin condoms from Funky Condom.
In 2010 the Family Planning Association launched its first ever sexual awareness campaign aimed at the over 50’s age group. It was designed to get older people to think about using a condom, due to the increase in the number of STI’s spreading amongst the older generation.
Compared to the under 25’s though, the diagnoses of STI’s in the over 50’s age group is much lower- however this is because less people over the age of 50 are aware of the need to get tested for STI’s- heightening the need for anyone of this age group to protect themselves by using a condom.
It’s believed that the reason behind the rising spread of STI’s amongst the over 50’s is because more couples are getting divorced than ever before. Coupled with the rising trend and acceptance of the internet dating scene, more and more people in this age group are having sex with a new partner, and are leaving themselves venerable to sexually transmitted diseases.
It can also be attributed to the fact that the over 50’s are not always aware that they need to use condoms when they are sexually active with a new partner, even if the woman has gone through the menopause and there is no risk of her getting pregnant.
Dr Indranil a consultant at the NHS Fife has said that he often sees older patients at his sexual health practice, but despite their age they are often more naive than the younger generation. "We've had instances where parents have been nudged into the clinic by their children” he said. Often the children are more informed on the importance of using ultra thin condoms because they get their information on sexual health from the media, or their school or college.
In some cases older people also let their embarrassment get in the way of buying Durex condoms too, however at Funky Condom it’s easy and embarrassment free to buy condoms online. When you buy a condom online from Funky Condom it will be dispatched to your preferred delivery address within 24 hours and will arrive in plain packaging, so no one will need to know that you are keeping your body safe.
