Why does no-one seem to wear a condom on TV?

When was the last time you saw someone wear a condom on TV? Or discuss contraception?

Sex vlogger Hannah Witton wants to know why sex on TV isn't safer.

A recent study by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which analysed programmes such as Orange is the New Black, True Blood and Gossip Girl, found that only 0.02% of sex scenes on television feature contraception.

Hannah meets TV viewers, a psychologist and a screenwriter about why TV characters seem reluctant to wear protection and whether it affects our sexual behaviour.
