Significant numbers of teenage girls are having non-consensual group sex, worrying new research has revealed.



A new study has found that one in 13 girls aged 14 to 20 have engaged in 'multi-person sex' (MPS).



A total of 328 girls who had visited health clinics in Boston, U.S, took part in the study and 7.3 per cent of them said they had had group sex.

Worryingly, among the girls in that group, 45 per cent said at least one male participant had not used a condom.



According to Jezebel.com, researchers at the Boston University School of Public Health said that the majority of the girls 'reported being pressured, threatened, coerced, or forced to participate in MPS at least once.'

Although some of those participating in the study were adults, the average age of their first group-sex experience was just 15.6 years old.

A total of 54 per cent of those studied had multi-person sex for the first time when they were younger than 16.

Worrying: A third of the girls said they had used alcohol or drugs during their last group sex experience and half of them said they were forced to use the substances by their partner
