What to tell your 10-12 years son/daughter , if he/she asks "what is it? " after a condom advertisement in TV?

The ad. break can be in between a cartoon serial.
Please also remember children's habit of counter questioning and they are well enough to understand literal meaning of dialogs in ad.

Well, having been 10-12 years old myself, I can tell you that most likely your son or daughter already knows the generalities of sex. If they ask what a condom is, I think the best thing that a parent can do is to be straight-up with them. They are used for protection from sexual diseases and preventing unwanted pregnancies. Sex isn't just for reproduction and anybody that has sex for pleasure is guilty of this sentiment. It's just a simple fact of our times. The sooner a child knows about protecting themselves, the better off they would be in my opinion. The best thing a parent can do is be thorough and honest.
