The latest ad from Durex is more of a public service announcement to beware around children

FELLAS, have you ever thought about shunning protection when things get a little steamy because, hey, what's the worst that could happen?

Allow us to tell you precisely what the worst thing is. Actually, let this video tell you. And believe us, it's bad.

The ad is for a well-known brand of condoms, and it makes perfectly clear the mental and physical horrors that await men who neglect to take their little latex buddy along for the ride.

Forget STDs. Fact is, if you fail to bring your rubber to the party, science has proven that children can result.

This, as the ad shows, is a catastrophe of biblical proportions. Have children and they will trash your golf clubs. They will leave toys and sharp objects lying around that make your back yard more booby-trapped than an Afghani poppy field. And they will spill hot coffee on your crotch.

Ouch.

There's a lot of groin pain in this ad. Which is kind of ironic, given all of this starts with pretty much the opposite of pain in the same region.

Anyway. Just wear a condom, fellas. We all know the downstairs benefits, but think of the upstairs health benefits too. Peace-of mind is an under-rated commodity.

* The author would like to point out that he has two children whom he loves very much, except when they hide the remote and turn the TV to the cartoon channel while he's trying to watch the football.

** Actually, the author kind of likes watching cartoons too. But anyway.
