Don’t you wish safe sex was super cool? Like, maybe if we got Will Smith to rap about it (Fresh Prince style) it would work. Better yet, let’s get a frat bro to design an exclusive condom club.
Yes. That happened. Ethan Basch saw several friends suffer from the consequences of unsafe sex and decided to take action. Enter The Cocksman Club. The member's only monthly condom delivery service allows members to pick the quantity and quality (I mean, brand) of condom they'll receive (think Birchbox for rubbers) without having to leave the comforts of home.
There are different membership levels:
The Player: Three condoms of your choice for $5 a month
The All-Star: Six condoms of your choice for $8 a month (this is the most popular)
The Champion: Ten condoms of your choice for $10 a month
The Legend: 24 condoms of your choice for $20 a month
Members can choose between Durex, Trojan and LifeStyles. They offer a decent variety for each brand (6 Durex, 4 Trojan and 2 LifeStyles) and you can choose up to three preferences per month. They're sent in a "discreet" package.
There’s one teensy problem: the douche-factor.
Basch calls his target audience a “mix between athletes, fraternity guys, student government guys, [and] surf team guys in the West Coast,” — a statement reeking of something Abercrombie CEO Mike Jeffries would say. Are musicians and techies exempt? Or just not condom-worthy?
Push past the cloud of eletism and we get the idea: make safe sex something that the popular kids in high school would do. And hey, if that makes safe sex as popular as the ombre hair color trend, we like it! Sign up and stay safe.
