Letter: Durex ad

THERE WAS a full page ad for Durex in the Review (15 November). I do not object to the fact of the ad being there, but I am angry that you chose to let the ad contain a full-length explicit picture of two naked people in the shower making love. My six-year-old daughter, or anyone else's young child, could have seen this. This picture is not suitable for a location where the audience is likely to be unrestricted, such as a newspaper.

I wish to choose when I discuss sex with my children, not have the subject imposed from a previously innocuous source.
