Safe sex advertising is getting increasingly more scandalous and explicit, from the main image of this cluster depicting the act of unprotected oral sex as equal to committing suicide in a PSA by Michael Stich Stiftung to MTV Brazil using slightly censored images of real pornography.
Organizations and ad agencies are aiming to capture the attention of the youth and sexvertising seems to be the most effective and popular marketing technique. Why not employ it to spread awareness?
In addition to the excessive use of skin and sex, safe sex and condom ads can get a little weird and outlandish as well. How about having sex with a huge scorpion or spider? No? Then maybe we can show your semen as Hitler or Bin Laden.
