I always said I had the best job on campus as an employee of the gym. Not only because I got to watch buff dudes lift weights all day, but also because I had a never-ending supply of free condoms available to me. The gym always kept a fully stocked jar of condoms for the average gym-goer to reward themselves with after a good workout. I’d always leave work with a handful of condoms that would supply my roommate and myself (and sometimes the random stranger desperately roaming the halls for a Trojan) for the weekend.
Although I didn’t choose the University of Richmond for it’s easy access to contraceptives, it is a much-appreciated perk. So, for the curious, Trojan has come out with their Sexual Health Report Card. The ranking, which measures access and availability of sexual health information and resources across 141 colleges and universities, named the University of South Carolina No. 1.
With a mascot like the Gamecocks, is anyone really surprised?
If you’re open about your sexuality and would appreciate a campus that supports you in your sexual exploits, here are the top five schools that are best equipped for you and all the sex you’re having (or desire to have): University of South Carolina, Stanford University, University of Connecticut, Columbia University and Florida Atlantic University.

I like traveling. It’s pretty sweet. Not only do you get the experience of having been in another country and surrounded by customs and traditions completely different (sometimes) from your own, but you also get bragging rights (ex: Oh last summer? I was in Malaysia. No big deal.). Traveling also means you get to “cut loose” as it were.
When else can you justify a massive shopping trip (I can’t find those clothes at home!) followed by a 14-hour bender at the local watering hole? I mean, I’ve tried it at home before (“staycation” my foot), but my mom ends up getting pretty peeved.
Possibly the most exciting part of traveling is the foreign men…or, at least, men who aren’t from your home state and didn’t live across campus from you sophomore year. Flirting, tippling some drinks, getting introduced to a new bar scene (oh, the wonders of a bar that I haven’t vommed in yet) are all reasons to gas up and head out.
But sex while traveling? Now that’s a whole other adventure. Read More »

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.

When most people think of condoms, 3 main questions come to mind:
1. Will this keep me safe?
2. Will this prevent me from having a baby?
3. Did it break?
A condom is one of those things that you use (a lot, if you’re lucky…and smart), but never really think about. You know which kinds you like (Trojan), you know where to get them (CVS because it’s open 24 hours), and you know that they are a must-have for a night of passion.
But did you ever think about how they are made? (Me either, mostly because I didn’t care. If they are keeping my uterus empty, a drunk monkey could make em.) The entire process is actually really cool and interesting. They check each and every one for leaks! They wash and sterilize them! They fill them with air to test their durability!
Fascinating! Watch the video above. Just know: condoms have never looked less sexy.

[For many of us, sex and college go together like Uggs and snow - you can’t have one without the other. So, we brought in one of Berkeley’s finest sex columnists, Elizabeth, to start a dialogue about the topic (and act) that is very near and dear to our hearts. Every Thursday she will get your day goin’ with a little somethin’ somethin’ that’s on her mind.]
Rubber, love glove, cock sock, willie warmer…the list goes on and on. When it comes to condoms, girls tend to believe in two distinct condom states – he either has one or he doesn’t have one. To guys, however, condom choice is a highly personal selection. The condom he chooses reflects various aspects about his emotional (and physical) attributes. Think of it as his sexual zodiac sign of sorts. Kinda gives a whole new meaning to the pick up line, “So, what’s your sign?” Read More »

If there is one thing I hate about The Rabbit it is that it is just so huge. Wait. Did I just say that? Ok. Let me start over:
If there is one thing I hate about transporting The Rabbit from place to place it is that it is just so damn big. You can't just throw that badboy in your purse, even if your bag is bigger than you are. You can't just grab it and go.
And packing it for a vacation is a nightmare. Like that time the T.S.A. "randomly screened" my suitcase and left me a note with a smiley face when they were done. Or that family vacation I took when my mom unpacked my suitcases while I was passed out by the pool....
The Trojan Vibrating Touch eliminates all that. Or so the uber excited women in their commercial/ testimonials say. I know I talk about vibrators a lot on this site, but watching older women discuss the joys of a finger-sized vibrator (and the awesome felt bag it comes in!) on video is a lot to handle. Creepy is an understatement.
But I'm not gonna let that turn me off (from being turned on). The Vibrating Touch looks pretty effing sweet. This sucker just slides onto your forefinger for some instant pleasure wherever you need it: between classes, on a long flight, in a movie theater... Plus, it comes with a nifty little carrying case (to hide it in your bag/prevent it from getting near that term paper you are about to turn in).
No more lugging those giant toys around. Thank you, Trojan!

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”).
Here are a few some notes, with thanks to the University of Connecticut’s Health Services office.
Obviously, everyone knows how to put a condom on. Obviously! Right? Double check, because even if you’re not the one wearing the jimmy hat, you’ll want to be keeping the dude honest. It’s very manly to make stupid mistakes.
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 »

As we head back to college, there are a few things we must not forget; ample amounts of underwear (the more pairs of clean underwear a girl has, the less she has to visit the laundry), bathroom sandals (you know have no idea what’s gone on in those shower stalls), and condoms.
You can keep them in a cute little box, a nondescript bag, or right out on the nightstand (depending on how classy you plan on being), but just make sure you have them. Guys don’t always come prepared, and nothing ruins the mood faster than knocking on your friends’ doors for a spare.
In case you’re at a loss as to which condom to buy (because there are like 50,000 different choices), Women’s Health has compiled a list of some of the most “sensational” latex love gloves out there.
A few examples include:
LifeStyles Warming Pleasure: One of those water-based lubricated condoms that stimulates the “clitoris, labia, and vaginal wall”, this brand actually makes good on it’s claims, providing a “mild but very sensual” warming sensation.
Naturalamb: Since these “second skin” condoms don’t protect against STD’s, they’re recommended for monogamous couples. Made from natural animal membranes (yup), Naturalamb is supposedly the thinnest condom available—an awesome find for the long-term couple, as long as you’re alright about that whole ‘membrane’ thing… Read More »
