Flavored condoms have been around forever, so why not weed-flavored condoms, right?

Green in colour, and smells and tastes like the real thing!

Cannadom is selling 10 packs for €9.95 and a single condom for €1.50.

Serious safe-sex advertising fail

image
 
“Love sex. Hate condoms. Love SKYN.”

Yes, you read that correctly. Maybe there should have been a few question marks in that statement, but there aren’t. It’s an advert for (ironically enough) a new type of condom by the company SKYN, which appears to promote unsafe sex, and definitely promotes a distaste for condoms.

Way to go, guys!

This advert is currently to be seen on a forty foot-high billboard on Manchester’s Canal St, right in the heart of the city’s gay village. Grahame Robertson, the photo’s uploader says:

The ‘Love Sex Hate Condoms’ message - in 6 foot high letters - is irresponsible and disrespectful to a community that has been at the forefront of promoting condom use for over 25 years.

SKYN condoms, who are made by the Mates brand, need to seriously rethink their advertising strategy. This advert will be looming large (literally) over Manchester’s Gay Pride festival, which kicks off in less than two weeks, and it is simply insulting.

If you wish to complain, you can find SKYN on Facebook here.

Popular brand slogans as condoms, created by New Condoms. I wonder if this is what’s meant by an advertising package?

I have to admit the designs on these vintage paper-based condom envelopes are far cooler than Crown Jewels’ Prince William and Catherine Middleton condoms. ‘Nuff said.

The hotshot: extra-small condoms for boys

Questions: will they still be adequate in the making of projectiles?  And will using them allow you to be oh, maybe, please, just a little bit raptured?  From the New York Daily News:

Call it pint-sized protection for preteens.  A Switzerland-based company is manufacturing extra-small condoms for the 12- to 14-year-old set.  Dubbed the Hotshot, the prophylactic was developed in response to a study that indicated young teens were regularly engaging in unprotected sex.

“The result that shocked us concerned young boys who display apparently risky behaviour,” said Nancy Bodmer, who oversaw the research for the study at the Center for Development and Personality Psychology at Basel University in Switzerland.  “They have more of a tendency not to protect themselves,” she said, adding that because of their young age, they also do not know much about sexuality.  “They do not understand the consequences of what they are doing,” Bodmer said. “The results of this study suggest that early prevention makes sense.”

Several organizations, including family planning groups, campaigned for the production of the small condoms.  The Hotshot measures 1.7 inches in diameter (as opposed to 2 inches found with regular ones), and 7.4 inches in length.  According to the company, Lamprecht AG, it is only available in Switzerland.
