<p>The film was produced by the FPA as a sex education resource for their "Men Too" campaign. It deals with the perception of contraception and the roles of men and women in relationships. This is the original edit of the video which opens with John Alderton and Pauline Collins (who were big television stars at the time of making the video) talking about men's emotions (about 4 minutes). After feedback from young people for whom the video was made, the sequence was subsequently removed. The film then continued with the main characters in the drama, Danny and his girlfriend Lorraine, shopping. Later we see Danny tell his friends that he cant go to the pub as he is spending the night with Lorraine in his parents house. He collects Lorraine in his car and brings her, quite unwilling, to the pub to meet his friends. Lorraines friends arrive and she smokes and chats with them as Danny dances with his friends. When they leave, Danny offers to drop his friends home too. In Dannys parents house, he and Lorraine argue about his ignoring her all night, he finds a packet of condoms in her bag and claims girls shouldnt carry them. She leaves and walks home. The next day, she chats with her friends and one of them also claims that she shouldnt carry condoms. Danny talks with his colleague who advises him that girls can look after themselves and that it isnt a problem that she was carrying condoms. We then see Danny phone Lorraine to discuss their fight.</p>
