Further to Laura Sessions Stepp's point that Americans generally have different attitudes towards sex and contraception than Europeans comes this blog post from John C. Dvorak's Dvorak Uncensored blog: Condom Ad you won't see on U.S. TV.  It was posted awhile ago so  think of it as an "oldie."

It shows a Mom entering her son's room to give him some timely advice!  How's that for an effective method of birth control?  But, as you'll see, her advice extends beyond the condom.  The fact the we would be unlikely to see such an ad in the U.S. suggests that parents are not as involved as they should be.

What do you think?
