A new project by a university is asking couples to have sex on film in order to promote the use of condoms to young people.

Three couples aged between 18 and 25 will be filmed having sex in ‘natural settings’, including a student room and a car – and will be paid £400 for their work.

Film-makers say it is to promote the message that using a condom does not ‘kill the mood’.

The videos are being filmed as part of Coventry University’s Chance 2 Change project, which aims to encourage the increased use of condoms between people aged 15 to 24 (file image)

The videos are being filmed as part of Coventry University’s Chance 2 Change project, which aims to encourage the increased use of condoms between people aged 15 to 24.

But the video will only be available to over-18s.

Project lead Dr Katie Newby said the videos aim to show people that, contrary to popular belief, sex can still be fun and sexy even when stopping to put on a condom.

Alongside the videos of couples having sex, other clips will be available of people talking about putting condoms on in a way ‘which increases pleasure’ and couples talking about how condoms factor into their sex lives.

Dr Newby revealed that the initiative – under the banner ‘Wrapped’ – will use ‘real couples in loving, consensual relationships and be tastefully shot.’

Dr Newby said that, despite the well-known risks of unprotected sex, the NHS still spends £620million per year treating sexually-transmitted illnesses (file image)

She said: ‘The videos, which will be tastefully shot and feature genuine couples, are designed to be available to over-18s at the point at which they are requesting free STI self-testing kits from a website.

‘Other aspects of the intervention include allowing users to test out a range of different condoms to identify their preferred one, a condom ordering service, providing a free product for carrying condoms in, and other videos featuring young people talking about condom use. 

‘We believe that someone who is seeking STI testing is likely to be particularly receptive to the messages around condom use, and we hope to convince them that condoms needn’t be awkward, embarrassing or an obstacle to enjoyable sex.’

Dr Newby said that, despite the well-known risks of unprotected sex, the NHS still spends £620million per year treating sexually-transmitted illnesses.
