37 year-old presenter Anna Richardson came off the contraceptive pill 2 years ago. Despite her relatively clean-living lifestyle, she and her partner haven't yet conceived a baby. Anna visits fertility and pregnancy guru Zita West for advice and a fertility test.

In a recent poll, the British were found to be the dirtiest nationality in the developed world. An unclean penis isn’t just a massive turn off for sexual partners; an accumulation of smegma can lead to medical conditions like Balanitis and the more serious Paraphimosis.

Our specially commissioned YouGov survey on teenage attitudes towards sex reveals that 63% of 14-17 year-olds interviewed who’ve lost their virginity, lost it under the legal age of consent - many under the influence of peer pressure. Celebrities also play a big role in influencing the behaviours of young people. Anna gets a group of teenagers to guess the virginity-losing ages of a selection of rock star and celeb idols. Might knowing when they popped their celebrity cherries affect the teenagers’ ideas about when they should first have sex?
