Controversial condom commercial [NSFW obviously]

Where do I start with this one?

 

It's a commercial for a condom company that will mail a monthly condom package to your door. One Pound Johnny [The "pound" in the name is the British currency].

 

http://onepoundjohnnyclub.com/about/

 

Quote:

Here at One Pound Johnny Club we're all about making safe shaggin' easier.

We’ve partnered with Mates Condoms to deliver quality branded condoms at better value than on the high street. Being stout supporters of safe sex, we also support HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust by donating a percentage of all our profits to help the charity provide sexual health support and services.

Terrence Higgins Trust was one of the first charities to be set up in response to the HIV epidemic and has been at the forefront of the fight against HIV and improving the nation's sexual health ever since. Terrence Higgins Trust’s vision is a world where people with HIV live healthy lives free from prejudice and discrimination, and good sexual health is a right and reality for all.

Sign up once, choose your johnnies and sit back while they are delivered discreetly to your door, with packages starting from as little as £1/month. You focus on gettin' jiggy, we focus on the rest.

No more embarassing trips to the shop and no more missed opportunities when you're ready to play. Saving you money, time and hassle!

So don't hang about or you'll go without! Get jiggy now!

 

Now for the video which consists of people getting cum shots in the face and then their tagline "safe sex without the mess" so don't watch if you think somebody will walk in on you.

So the obvious question is did this commercial go a bit too far?

 ROFL, not sure the

 ROFL, not sure the commercial is so effective, sometimes a little mess with sex is fun but I think it is hilarious and will certainly go viral. It is a good idea to get regular shipments of condoms, it really sucks not having any left when you need one. Of course, you have the downside that you will realize how slutty you have been when you run out of your 12 pack in a week or you will realize how pathetically slow your sex life is when you have a large pile of condoms building up and they keep coming.

If, if a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood. But if you - if you hold a gun on him and make him embrace me and pretend to be friendly or brotherly toward me, then that's not brotherhood, that's hypocrisy.- Malcolm X

Did it go to far?  Depends

Did it go to far?  Depends on your sense of humor, doesn't it?  Hilarious.  Too bad I don't need them anymore.

Ok, so where would be a good distribution for this ad? Porn sites? Websites? TV?

 I've never heard of a guy

 I've never heard of a guy wearing a condom to masturbate unless using sex toys and using them to keep the toys clean. I don't even wear them for sex unless I have to. There probably is some guy somewhere who uses them. The first rule of sex if you can imagine it someone, somewhere, sometime is doing it no matter how crazy it sounds and probably someone taking it a step further than you thought possible. I doubt it is common practice, but I'm not in the habit of asking people either. Perhaps we need to commission a government study to find the answer to this vital question.

I've never bothered, but I've known those who did. It's like the opposite of the hollywood sock, which I've never seen or heard of actually being used outside of film.

It makes a certain sense. They are lubricated, and as Capt says, less mess. But I don't spend money on shit when it's unnecessary, so I've never been particularly interested.
