		<description><![CDATA[The interesting point from my perspective is, that the kind of sexuality which is worthily to be celebrated seems to be the (hopefully heterosexual activated) bio-male ejaculation...finest old (really really old) school androcentrism!
That&#039;s sad, because a lot of sexuality has no bio-penis-champagne-sperm-shower included, but it&#039;s also very necessary to do it save (gloves for hands/fingers, condoms for dildos and any other kind of toys).]]></description>

That&#039;s interesting!  The source where I found them did not include the fourth page.   If you know where I can find it, please let us know and we&#039;ll update the post.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you can tell from the tagline/website &quot;condom08.com&quot;, this was a campaign to encourage safe sex, i.e. condom use. The advert series as shown here is actually incomplete - the last photo in the series showed an upside down condom, stylized to look deceptively similar to a champagne glass. Plus, there was one more slide without a photo on it, with only the text encouraging you to celebrate sex. The entire series was shown together - I never saw them displayed one by one (I lived in Stockholm when this campaign ran). 

I thought at the time that it was a clever and stylish way to campaign for increased condom use. After all, what condoms do is contain men&#039;s ejaculate, so it is not necessarily wrong to focus on that particular aspect of sex in a condom advert. The link to champagne isn&#039;t frivolous either - I always presumed it came after the tagline &#039;celebrate sex&#039;, with the operative link being celebration rather than the actual texture/nature of sperm.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think it is rather clever... the intersection of ejaculation and celebration portrayed in a champagne shower.

Exaggerated?  Sure, but when doesn&#039;t this kind of advertising try to capture imagination by stimulating it with larger-than-life images?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t see it as celebrating only men&#039;s sexual pleasure nor that it had the intention to exaggerate male performance.

I just think that was a way to portray sex without showing it. And the exaggeration it has better reasons: it catches people&#039;s eyes and it is less... real, and in that way less offensive. Also, you wouldn&#039;t be able to get ejaculation looking so nice. The thing they used is more aesthetic them cum. I think that is why they did 3 different ads showing the same thing.

And another thing, it says &quot;join the fun at condom08.com&quot;. I tried accessing the site but it seems it doesn&#039;t exist, but anyways, that ad might be related to male condoms, so that might be a reason for showing the ejaculation.]]></description>
