Young Polish women are engaging in riskier activities such as group sex and swinging - and are more likely to cheat on their partner.
Grazyna Czubinska, who carried out the study at the Polish University Abroad in London, said: 'What was surprising was that Polish women have sex four times more often than they would back in Poland.
'In addition, women are branching out and using various means for fulfilling their sexual needs, including swinging, group sex and online.' She said that while such behaviour may usually the result of excessive alcohol consumption in Poland, in the UK, drugs were more likely to be a factor.
The study found that on average, the sexual practices of Polish women in the UK were at least twice as risky as what they would be involved in back home, and betraying a partner was far more likely, too.
Miss Czubinska added that Polish migrants were also three times more likely to get or offer sex for favours - often in exchange for shared accommodation (the Pakistani or Indian 'landlord boyfriend'), cleaning or cooking.
The research also found that 40 per cent of those who took part in the study were under stress and admitted experiencing 'strong states of nervous tension'.
Dr Agat Smolen from Warsaw's Medical University, said the language barrier, financial problems and being separated from family or partners was often a contributing factor towards increased stress levels in migrants. (1/2)
