The recent findings of a survey on sexual behavior among young people in Flanders, Belgium, are concerning. The study reveals that young people are increasingly engaging in unprotected sex, with fewer using condoms or the pill as their preferred method of contraception. This trend is worrying, as it increases the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies.

There are several potential causes of this problem behavior, including a lack of knowledge about safe sex practices, limited access to alternative forms of contraception, and pressure to engage in sexual activity without protection. Additionally, the normalization of risky sexual behavior may contribute to the problem.

Another concerning finding of the survey is that almost a quarter of young people reported experiencing sexual harassment or assault. This highlights the need for greater education and awareness around consent and healthy relationships.
