Condoms and sexual behaviour of young tourists in Copenhagen.
Sleep-in is a summer youth hostel in the center of Copenhagen with 459 beds, which was used for 19,296 overnight stays in July and August 1987. In the summer of 1987, each of the guests, 95% of whom were young tourists, received an envelope with a condom and a written reminder about the use of condoms during sexual relationships. During a period of the summer, 1,229 guests (498 women and 731 men) completed a questionnaire. The results showed that 21% of the men always, and 43% never had condoms in their luggage when travelling and 6% of the women always, and 79% never had condoms in their luggage. Of the 40 men who had sexual contact with Danish girls, 19 had always used a condom. Of the nine men with Danish homosexual contacts, three had always used condoms. Of the four women who had sexual contact with Danish men, none had used condoms.
