Do not try this at home.

Sure, you probably have been shy about buying condoms, but if you ever thought about substituting something for condoms, you've to read this couple's tale. Reportedly, on their first rodeo, these two college undergraduates got a little too shy to go and get protection. But decided that they could make do with a plastic bag in place of the condom.

Clearly, that was a bad idea. Tuoi Tre news network of Vietnam reported, that due to the lack of elasticity and the roughness of the plastic bag, they were injured to a point that they started bleeding.

The couple were taken to Hanoi Nephrology Hospital with injured private parts, Nguyen The Luong, the infirmary’s deputy director told Tuoi Tre. While the thick plastic bags can injure, the thin plastic bags are prone to breaking, providing no safety at all. It was reported on the website that, in a survey conducted by the Hanoi Medical University and Hanoi Medical College on 2700 undergraduates, 16% had engaged in coitus, but only a third of them had used protecting during their first sexual experience. For a place where the topic of sex is still a hush-hush, avoided by parents and teachers, incidents like these could pose a problem. This only strengthens the reason why sex education is imperative for all of the growing generation.
