'Say It With A Condom,' a popular condom company that is known for its packages that feature bold and witty sayings, released a new line called 'Consent Condoms.' The condoms are in collaboration with 'FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture' to promote consensual sex. The line of rubbers features bold, anti-rape messages on its packaging and minimal graphics.
The condoms were designed to combat non-consensual sexual attitudes and diminish the blurred lines that root from mainstream culture. "Blurred lines" can easily lead to rape or assault, which the packaging boasts about by stating things like "Drinking is not a crime. Rape is." and "This dress does not mean yes."
A set of the condoms retails at $14.95, with 25% of sales proceeds going to FORCE.
