Back Society » Health » [Video] What Happens When Vietnamese Try to Use a Condom for the First Time

You know sex education in Vietnam is lacking when a group of 20-somethings struggle mightily to unfurl a condom.

While highly entertaining, by the end of the video, the viewer is faced with the sobering reality that many Vietnamese are clueless when it comes to using protection.

It may also help to explain why Vietnam has the highest abortion rate in Asia.

Kudos to Trang TV for creating perhaps the best sex education video Vietnam has ever seen, whether they intended to or not.
