We’re not sure this commercial will convince guys that wearing a condom will still “feel the same,” or that Durex is better than Trojan. In fact, the only thing this commercial really does is give our men something else to do with our contraception while we are straightening our hair.

But it’s still funny as hell.

Apparently these pillows, made by Durex, are supposed to turn boys into men by helping them last a little longer.

We’re all for that, because our resolution this year is to actually orgasm from sex, but really? Isn’t there a better option? Like, I don’t know, finding a guy who can last longer than 3 minutes without mental images of his mom running through his head?

There’s just got to be a better way. Imagine waking up next to that in the morning. I’d rather give myself the orgasm.

In this day and age, much is expected of men once they reach that strange college age: they must be strong yet sensitive, mature yet playful, erudite yet down-to-earth.

And most of all they must have a damn condom on them when the time comes. But of course, they forget; they were probably thinking something manly, like going to the moon or doing their Stats homework.

Make no mistake: if you’re gunning for it, sexy time will happen at college, and inevitably you’ll sometimes get stuck picking up the contraceptive slack. When you do, you’ll need to know your condoms. You don’t want any unpleasant surprises (“Honey, this is a sea anenome”).

Normal condoms don’t really need an explanation. It’s notable, though, that there’s nothing actually special about Trojans, other than their cool namesake (nobody ever mentions the ancient Babylonian epic “Durexia” for example). They aren’t any more durable or comfortable than any other standard brand. Read More »
