Kaye Wellings is an active Sexual and Reproductive Health educator she has worked within this field of study for over 20 years. She has a strong interest in evaluation research, particularly in relation to preventive intervention and has assessed major national and international sexual health programmes, including AIDS preventive strategies in European countries and the English government’s Teenage Pregnancy Strategy. Much of her working life has been spent researching sensitive topics, including not only sexual behaviour but also risk practices relating to drug use and in prison populations.

She claims to think of Sexual behaviour in evolutionary terms rather than revolutionary terms. She states: "The changes in practices we see here are consistent with the widening of other aspects of young people's sexual experience, and are perhaps not surprising given the rapidly changing social context and the ever-increasing number of influences on sexual behaviour."

She co-writes several academic research papers with purpose to describe time trends and current patterns in sexual practices with opposite-sex partners among men and women aged 16–24 years in Britain. Methods Complex survey analyses of cross-sectional probability survey data from three British National Surveys of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal), conducted approximately decennially 1990–2012, involving interviews with 45,199 people in total.

They summarize their project: Sexual behaviour is a major determinant of sexual and reproductive health. We did a National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal 2000) in 1999–2001 to provide population estimates of behaviour patterns and to compare them with estimates from 1990–91 (Natsal 1990).
