A discreet condom delivery service, eh? How novel!

All the distressed, condom-less bro has to do is locate…

On Tuesday, Los Angeles County passed a controversial new law called Measure B, or, to use the propaganda-y nickname its framers have given it, the Safer Sex in the Adult Film Industry Act.

These new PSAs for the AIDS Council, put together by the McCann Worldgroup Helsinki ad agency, equate getting busy to checking in on Foursquare.

Earlier this summer we reported on a survey of Houston teens that found that those who engage in sexting are more likely to be banging the bananas out of each other IRL.

There are a myriad of good reasons to use condoms — preventing the spread STD's, staving off pregnancy... erm, the smell of rubber and lube gets you hot.

Yesterday, we wrote about a school district currently under legal fire for teaching kids that the best way to avoid STDs is to sleep soundly and hang out with friends (sans condoms).

It's not secret that the Bacchanalian fuckfest that is the Olympic Village operates under a loose moral code. But that freedom to screw whomever is matched by very, very tight branding restrictions imposed by the IOC. How strict? This week, Olympic "brand police" launched exhaustive hunt for "rogue condoms" after one…
AskMen polled dudes about their love lives and now they, like, totally know why he won't call you back! JK. The results of their "Great Male Survey" aren't that illuminating, but here are some highlights:
In theory, the idea of elderly people getting it on is great. In this SFW-ish ad, it kind of makes your eyeballs melt, but in the good, socially-conscious way. Good luck having the condom talk with your Grandpa or Meemaw.
Planned Parenthood has come up with some stellar social media-based campaigns in the past, like last year's genius "In Case You're Curious" program, in which teens could text counselors questions about their sexual health.

Want to buy condoms? Want to contribute to sexual health in the developing world? Now you can do both!

Fresh from a birthday celebration that trumpeted his status as the "Most Dangerous Man in the World," Julian Assange was back in court today to fight extradition to Sweden.
