Young men with high testosterone levels are more likely to engage in safe-sex, a new study has found.
Researchers in America questioned 18 and 19-year-old men who were starting their first year of college.
They asked a total of 78 teenagers, who were mostly heterosexual and from high-income families, about their health and attitudes towards safe-sex practices such as condom use.
Researchers also took a saliva sample from the men from which they could measure their testosterone levels.

Without reading the article, I have concluded that they are more likely to have safe sex because they are having more of it.
Nah, I'm just kidding, the news section is fun for poking around in. Keep up the good work!
