    In reply to Even The Condoms Are Cuter
    To be clear, a condom is a piece of latex that goes over a penis before sex. So, making the packaging cute and pretty seems about as useful as strawberry scented toilet paper. I don't want to put it on my curio shelf. I want to put it on a dick and then sit on it. The packaging is inconsequential.

    @Lady Skittlehattington:

    I don't know. At an event at my university last year, they had several bags full of these beautifully packaged One condoms, and I and many other people took quite a few because the packaging was so nice. They were subsequently used by my roommates and me, but I was much more compelled to pick up several handfuls of those at once rather than the Durex ones that are always available at the health center. Those are usually sought out in the moment or just a few at a time. The packaging was very effective in that sense. My roommates and I had condoms immediately available for a long time.

    @Lymed: What, you like the combination of creamy milk chocolate and crisp wafer better than ball sweat?

    And here I was about to tie a cockbib onto my man and start snacking.

    The prophylactic equivalent of baby talk during sex.

    I like the ones based on Koala Yummies, especially their hats with the reservoir tips. Honestly, we might think this is infantilized, but in Japan the kawaii aesthetic is used to sell everything. Hell, even banks use kawaii logos to get customers.

    @bluebears: Funny you should mention. I got one of those free NYC condoms at a university giveaway the other day - attached to a popsicle stick and made to look like a lollipop.

    I get that adding Hello Kitty to the condom lollipop makes it more kawaii, but I just don't see kawaii = infantalizing as much as some people. It could be because I lived in Japan for so long, where everything uses this aesthetic.

    @h_bee: look at the lower left corner though, the character has pigtails and hair bows. and she/it is licking a penis. even if its normalized its still sexualizing children to a degree.

    @bluebears: Yeah, I'm with you.

    Of course, these are from Japan, where you can buy used schoolgirl panties and schoolgirl porn from vending machines and in newsstands. The Japanese are VERY into infantalizing women and sex. (And I could get up on my soapbox and deliver the Feminist Lecture Series on this, but I'm sure you already know what I would say).

    @BeckySharper: Just for the record, the used panties in vending machine is pretty much an urban legend. Maybe it once existed, somewhere (probably in a red light district I'm sure), but you certainly would not see that kind of shit in a vending machine today. Now people always bring it up in "Japan is so wacky and backwards!" conversations. It's gone people. Let it go.

    Another cute idea never to replicated in the states because you know, they'd probably appeal to kids....
