Middle-aged swingers are more at risk for contracting sexually
transmitted infections than other groups, like people in their 20s
or gay men.
A study from the Netherlands found that heterosexual swinging couples over the age of 45 were most likely to be infected, and may be a potential "STI transmission bridge to the entire population," Nicole Dukers-Muijrers, who led the study from a Dutch health clinic, said in The Australian.
Fifty-five percent of 9,000 patients who sought treatment for STIs among three Dutch clinics between 2007-2008 fell into this pool. Gay men made up 31% of STI carriers.
The full results from the study are published in the June issue of the journal Sexually Transmitted Infections.
