About half the world's youth hope or plan to ring in the new millennium with a bang: condom-maker Durex says its own survey shows them hoping or planning to end the celebrations with sex.
The Durex survey says Canadian youth were the most optimistic - 63 percent said they expected their millennium celebrations to include lovemaking. Just over 60 percent of British youth planned similarly, while 48 percent of Polish youth surveyed and nearly half of the young Czechs polled hoped or planned likewise. However, Taiwanese youth seemed the most restrained, with only 15 percent of those Taiwanese youth polled hoping or planning to make love for the millennium.
Otherwise around the world, though, the survey says, almost two thirds surveyed planned to use condoms for Y2K contraception, though 16 percent would take precautions. Durex also says that among those polled who hadn't yet lost their virginity, 17 percent said they planned to ring in the new millennium by doing precisely that.
