I asked my granddaughter, who has just finished at a very fine convent, whether they had talked to her about contraception. Apparently they brought in outside nurses to do the dirty deed. “By the time they’d finished,” she said, “I had condoms popping out of my ears.” She has a talent for metaphor.
And then I open Wednesday’s Telegraph and find two adjacent articles. One headline reads, “Sharp rise in teenage pregnancy rate” and the other “Young adults drive increase in sex diseases”. I need scarcely summarise the content because it is exactly what you are imagining it to be.
