Bacon Condoms, Bacon Lube…BRB Throwing Up
Looking to spice things up in the bedroom? Tired of the same old latex condom? Well the guys over at J&D’s have created something for you: bacon flavored condoms.
Some Guys Are Really Awful, But It’s Not Your Fault [Sexy Time]
In the wake of the Steubenville rape trial, there has been increased dialogue about the importance of consent. Unfortunately, the societal narrative around consent is so muddled, distorted, and harmful. There’s a ton of emphasis on the absence of no and not nearly enough about the presence of yes.

Why YOU Should Get STD Tested, Even If You DON’T Have Symptoms
It was the day before my roommates and I were due to return home for Thanksgiving (a while ago now), and we found ourselves with a little downtime. So, naturally, we decided to get tested for STDs. Okay, I know what you’re thinking…naturally? Are you serious?

I love condoms. Sometimes I feel alone in this, because a lot of people who commit to using condoms regularly always seem to do so with reluctance and resignation.
What Exactly Is Safe Sex? [He Said/She Said]
So CC’s lovely editor Alex was browsing Reddit this week and came across this post, with a guy asking if it was unreasonable to ask his girlfriend of four years to give him a blow job without a condom. My initial thoughts? That must taste weird, very latex-y and possibly like spermicide.
Tuffy Luv Sez: Better Safe Than Herpes!!!
I’m a virgin but my boyfriend and I have been doing oral. We both do it, so it’s going good but I just want to make sure. I can’t get pregnant from oral?
Do You Know How To Use A Condom? [Video]
Every time I see a banana, I can’t help but think of the health class scene in Never Been Kissed. I think we tend to assume that most people who have made it to college know how to use a condom. A little reminder never hurts, so sit back, relax, and let the experts tell you how it’s done.

Sex in the News: More Online Dating = More STDs?
Across the border in my home country of Canada, rates of STDs have rapidly been increasing since 2000. Syphilis cases have increased 10 times over, while chlamydia rates have increased 66 percent. Public-health experts are saying that this can partially be attributed to the popularity of online dating.

Just when you thought social media sites couldn’t get any less private…you can now ‘check in’ when you’re getting it on. Because everyone is dying to know when and where you’re doing it?
Sexy Time: Why Are We Using Condoms Less Frequently?
How many of us have been in a situation where we’re hooking up and the guy just slides in without much warning? Or how many of us have encountered men who are absurdly petulant when their partner asks them to put one on? They always have a litany of excuses or justifications — “It doesn’t feel as good”/”I can’t stay hard with one on”/”I’m clean, don’t you trust me?”
Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Yourself: The Ultimate CC Sex Toy Review
I’m totally up for reclaiming Valentine’s Day and making it about sexy self-indulgence. That’s definitely something our society doesn’t value nearly as much as it should; and I mean, who isn’t in love with feeling sexy and sensual, whether it’s for a partner or for yourself?
Wrap It Up! February is National Condom Month
February is National Condom Month, which is something we at CollegeCandy take pretty seriously. For real, the best kind of sex is safe sex, for a number of different reasons, and making the conscious decision to use condoms or other contraceptives is taking charge of your sex life in a really positive way. Even the porn industry seems to be taking notice!
Tuffy Luv Dispenses Condoms
I’m a senior in college and have been in a serious relationship for the past 5 years. He’s my high school sweetheart. I know, we’re so cute! We just got engaged and are getting married when I graduate (he’s two years older and is already working). Now that we’re engaged, I want to go on birth control, but I’m not sure what to try. What do you recommend?
When Safe Sex Goes Horribly Wrong
I was struck with complete disbelief after reading about a woman who, despite using multiple forms of birth control, keeps getting pregnant. Like, pregnant seven times in 5 years. Like, she and her husband only had sex three times since September and she’s currently expecting another kid. Did I mention she’s tried the Pill, condoms, injections and an IUD…and they still don’t work?
Get a Condom, Give a Condom
At least that’s the mission behind the hot, new, perfectly plaid-patterned condom company, Sir Richard’s condoms. In honor of National World AIDS day, we wanted to give it up (pun intended) to a fairly new company that makes it their mission to help out countries in need. I recently met with one of Sir Richard’s leading ladies, Mia, to talk about their company, their philosophy and their branding.
