Bar full of Trojan ad execs?

After visiting the beds of universities across the nation, Trojan Condoms has come out with its annual Sexual Health Report Card.

The report, available on the Trojan website, evaluated 139 schools based on “the availability of sexual health resources and information” for students.

Fortunately, Penn ranks fairly high, coming in 21st. You may now go forth and spread your seed confident that you have plenty of resources on campus to help in case you get syph.

While the information that Trojan’s research provides is helpful for increasing sexual health awareness, more interesting to me was the section entitled “America is not a Sexually Healthy Nation.” My interest does not lie in the content of this section but in the purpose of including this section in the report card.

Condoms. Furry, intestinal, animal-derived little sperm-catchers. Wait, what?

For those with too much spare time (or a burning desire to learn about archaic methods of birth control), a new book has come along that innovatively allows one to waste time and read about weird sex without even touching the computer.

The Humble Little Condom: A History, by Aine Collier of the University of Maryland. Because you can probably work it into a paper somewhere, and apparently the creative synonyms are worth the price of the book.

Reading about condoms made from intestines and lead kinda makes you appreciate the new-fangled kind, huh?
