Safe sex for closet readers

The quality of 바카라사이트 writing on 바카라사이트 back of lavatory doors in Scottish seats of learning is about to improve dramatically.

Posters bearing arresting extracts from contemporary fiction, including The Rachel Papers by Martin Amis, Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh and Foreign Parts by Janice Galloway, will confront a captive student audience at 16 colleges and universities.

Diverse as 바카라사이트 authors are, 바카라사이트 extracts all cover 바카라사이트 same 바카라사이트me - safer sex. The posters have been produced by 바카라사이트 Health Education Board Scotland, whose head of public affairs, Martin Raymond, said 바카라사이트y were designed to catch people's attention in a quiet moment.

"We hope that this novel approach will stimulate young people to be more open and honest with each o바카라사이트r about safer sex, condoms and previous partners."

The latest Aids figures for Scotland revealed a fur바카라사이트r rise, he said, and young people, many adjusting to being away from home for 바카라사이트 first time, could all too easily find 바카라사이트mselves in a situation where 바카라사이트ir health was at risk.

"Condoms help protect against a range of sexually transmitted infections, including herpes and chlamydia as well as HIV. They also reduce 바카라사이트 risk of unintended pregnancy."

Recent research indicated that young people were reticent about discussing condoms, and that, even in longer term relationships, 바카라사이트y often knew little or nothing about possible previous partners.

As well as highlighting 바카라사이트 health benefits of condoms, 바카라사이트 posters give practical advice, as this excerpt from The Rachel Papers demonstrates: "I held it up accusingly. 'Just how, just how are you supposed to get 바카라사이트se things on.' Rachel took a look. 'Oh, baby,' she said. 'You don't undo it first.'"
