Condoms, safe sex and young people – a tricky combination. 

A recent survey of people between 16 and 25 in the Netherlands found that while 90 percent thought it was important to use a condom when having sex with a new partner, 40 percent of them have difficulty bringing up the topic. For young women especially, asking a partner to use a condom was a problem.

So sexual health organisation SOA Aids Netherlands has launched a campaign aimed at getting youngsters to talk about safe sex. And the slogan has certainly got people talking - 'Niet zonder hoesje in jouw poesje', a catchy rhyme in Dutch which translates literally as “Not in your pussy without a cover”, or perhaps “Cover up before coming in!”

So just how difficult do youngsters really find it to talk about condoms, and what do they think of pussies and cover-ups?
