Nobody wants to be a parent before they are ready, or to find themselves with a sexually transmitted infection. But in the heat of the moment, safe sex and contraception is often the last thing on your mind! In Britain, complacency over safe sex is being blamed for a dramatic rise in cases of sexually transmitted diseases among young people.

There is an old saying that with pleasure goes responsibility and that is particularly true of sex. Or is it? We want to know your views on contraception and sexual health:

• Who has the responsibility for avoiding unwanted pregnancy?

• Does that responsibility change when a relationship becomes more serious?

• What do you understand by the term 'safe sex'?

• Does a man carrying condoms in his wallet make women think he is responsible or presumptuous?

• If a woman carries condoms is she responsible or promiscuous?

• Should you trust other people to be honest about their sexual health? Are you?

• Is it right for doctors to be able to prescribe contraception to under 16s without their parents' consent?

• Do you know where you can get free contraception and advice?

• Would you sleep with someone if they refused to use a condom?

• What is the best method of avoiding pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections?
