One third of women who meet someone online have sex on the first date, and three quarters of these do not use a condom.

Unbelievable.

And I thought ‘sex without condoms is the new going steady’ was risky.

PS I think it’s the “no condom” thing that’s freaking people out, not the “sex on the first date” (after presumably plenty of conversation in the lead-up) bit.
