Seriously, dum-dums, how many times do we have to go over this? Condoms do not cause sexy intercourse any more than seat belts cause car accidents. Adding yet another voice to this "conversation," which has seemingly been raging since the invention of penises, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on… Read… 10/28/13 8:30pm 10/28/13 8:30pm

The September issue of Cosmopolitan has a very thorough 12-page guide to contraception, which includes two pages about all the options and their efficacy; two pages dedicated to the Pill and its side effects, and two pages on condoms.

Adweek has (rightly) praised this spec ad written for Durex, a cautionary, slow-mo montage of fathers having their testicles smashed by careless toddlers set to the Moonlight Sonata. All of this nut violence could have been avoided if these dudes just practiced safe sex and avoided procreation. Humanity has had a… Read… 8/04/13 12:00pm 8/04/13 12:00pm

Welp, the inevitable has happened: "Get Lucky" condoms are now a thing. Even though they haven't hit shelves yet, Durex has been handing them out to a handful of DJs and releasing free packs — emblazoned with the cover from the French group's hit single, of course — at festivals so everyone keeps their dicks wrapped up… Read… 7/10/13 1:00pm 7/10/13 1:00pm

These condom ads might be sexy — mainly due to that hot Elvis cover GOOD LORD — but it's really annoying how every spot has to have the wedding ring front and center. Because, you know, only married people have hot sex. Oh, wait... Read… 7/02/13 10:30pm 7/02/13 10:30pm

Germans are notoriously comfortable with sex and nudity. Go to any beach around the world and there's a 93.2% chance that the first grandpa to take his speedo off is German. So when a bunch of parents in Berlin got uppity about a sex-ed book, it definitely means something. Read… 4/26/13 2:10pm 4/26/13 2:10pm

Distributing condoms to health clinics in countries with high rates of maternal mortality or HIV infection is a great and worthy endeavor. Except, of course, when those condoms are too small, inadequately lubricated, and riddled with holes as in the case of about a million condoms imported to Ghana from China.

Bill Gates, super rich geek and world-class philanthropist, is putting his money where his dick is. He wants someone to invent a better condom. It's something we've all thought about, or even said aloud, in the abstract. But Gates is actually ponying up $100,000, through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to the… Read… 3/26/13 12:50pm 3/26/13 12:50pm

After never really catching on in the 30 years since its invention, the female condom has received a redesign with the hopes that women will change their minds about wanting to line their vaginas like a waste paper basket.

A discreet condom delivery service, eh? How novel! The new SOS Condoms iOS app (available only in Dubai with complimentary irony) claims that it can deliver condoms to all those forgetful bros who don't have any condoms, but would also like to have safe sex.

Wendy Greuel, currently Los Angeles' city controller and a former Dreamworks exec (of course), is up for mayoral office this year. Should she win against Councilman Eric Garcetti, she would be L.A.'s first female mayor.

Condoms do not kill the mood nor do they make intercourse significantly less enjoyable, a new study finds. This flies in the face of the anecdotal evidence and life experience-based wisdom of all the teenage males who helped get their girlfriends cast on episodes of 16 and Pregnant.

A new study by researchers at Hunter College has found that the larger a man's penis is, the less likely he is to use a condom. Uh-oh. The data was culled from surveys of nearly 500 gay and bisexual men, in an attempt to determine whether the fit and feel of condoms impacts how men use them. The answer? A resounding… Read… 12/19/12 6:15pm 12/19/12 6:15pm
