Indeed it's about a kid trying to buy rubbers; using euphamisms because there are people he knows in the shop and he doesn't want to be heard saying "Let's have a packet of reservoir-tipped prophylactics; extra-sensative type." with the old gossips in the shop. Yes, once upon a time such things were vended as "behind-the counter" items rather than "Over the counter". Quite amusing.
