Creative & Bizarre Safe
Sex Ads

Decades ago, it was taboo to mention sex on television or in advertising.  Thankfully, times have changed and adults can now be much more open about their sexuality.  Sex is no longer repressed as if it’s a dirty secret, and marketing minds have finally figured out that sex sells.  With the sex-saturation in the media came the need for public service announcements about safe sex, and a market for creative condom advertisements was born.  It’s sexy to be safe.

All About the Children

The possibility of an unplanned pregnancy is another valid scare tactic used in safe sex advertising.  These ads creatively get the message across that not playing it safe can make you a parent.  The children trapped behind the latex barriers in the ads above serve as excellent visuals about one of the most important virtues of condoms.

Don’t Be Stupid

You wouldn’t go willingly into any other situation as dangerous as sex without protection.  These ads point out that unprotected sex is just as stupid as needlessly risking your life in other ways.  These simple, yet striking images illustrate the very real danger of losing your life when the common sense decision to protect yourself is ignored.
