| Moderator: | Why do the youth choose [the phrase] ‘Colgate [toothpaste] on a toothbrush’ [to refer to sex]? |
| Participant: | It’s groovy. |
| Moderator: | So is there something which they resemble? |
| Participant: | Maybe they resemble something |
| All: | [laughter!] |
| Participant: | Maybe I am thinking that ‘putting Colgate on a toothbrush’ means a female’s genitals and a male’s genitals. Maybe the toothbrush is a female’s vagina and the Colgate means the male’s sperms [semen]. |
| All: | Yes, it’s true! It’s true – eeee!! |
