Description

To the left of the text is a four-image panel, arranged vertically, with drawings illustrating the steps in using a condom: place it on the end of the erect penis, smooth it all the way down, and remove it when finished. The message is directed to young people who are sexually inexperienced, and seeks to reassure them that using a condom every time provides good protection. The comic-strip style of the illustrations emphasizes how easy it is to learn to use a condom and adopt this as a habit. A colored picture of a condom is inset at the bottom.
Date on back of poster, 1997, reflects when the vendor received the copy later acquired by the UCLA Library.
Poster held by Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library. History & Special Collections, Collection no. 306, item FR019.

Condition note

Additional poster text: Cet été, ce sera peut-être la première fois. L'inexpérience, l'émotion, la hâte, la peur de ne pas assurer peuvent décontenancer lors d'un premier rapport sexuel. Mais pour assurer, on n'est pas obligé de battre des records. En prenant son temps, en parlant ensemble, en essayant le préservatif tout seul avant, on est plus rassuré...
