Vietnamese couple ends up in hospital after using plastic bag as condom

A young Vietnamese couple having sex for the first time were left with serious injuries - after using a plastic bag as a condom.

Too shy to buy a real condom, the boy attached the plastic bag to himself - only for the pair to both end up in hospital in the city of Hanoi having sustained bad scratches. 

The youngsters were both college undergraduates according to the hospital director, Nguyen The Luong.

Vietnam's Tuoi Tre newspaper reported today that it was the first time the couple had had sex but, embarrassed about purchasing a condom in a shop, the boy suggested he use a plastic bag for protection. 

'As the plastic bag was rough and lacked elasticity and lubrication, the young couple ended up scratching their genitals to the point of bleeding,' said the paper. 'The lovebirds underwent a thorough check-up and were prescribed with antibiotics and disinfectants for their injuries.'
