Learn About Safe Sex The Only Way That Makes Sense - Through Video Games
The Liecestershire Teenage Pregnancy Partnership recently put together a short ad reminding teens of the importance of using condoms. What did they turn to for inspiration for the ad? Old-school platformers, of course.
In the minute-and-a-half-long ad, a Mega Man-esque red-haired guy must make his way past various dangerous STI (sexually transmitted infections) to uncover the coveted condom power-up. Unfortunately for this fool, on his first run through the level, he drops the condom into a bottomless pit. We've all been there, right?!
Seriously, though, people, don't forget your condom power-ups. Check out the video below.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
