Let the games begin! (in bed)

Toronto Public Health revealed this year’s city-branded condom designs today (June 17). While last year’s condoms all looked the same — remember the sexual street name puns? — 2015’s edition comes with six different looks.

They’re designed to promote the upcoming Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, and each wrapper has its own sports-related sex pun like “What’s your starting position?” or “Go the distance.”

In what seems to be an attempt to appeal to a younger demographic, the launch in Yonge-Dundas Square this afternoon featured a “live graffiti battle,” where six street artists spray painted canvases inspired by each condom design.

Toronto Public Health’s Twitter account also reached out to various public figures, including Drake.

Starting tomorrow (June 18), you can pick up the condoms for free at any of these locations.

May we recommend you put them to use while stuck at home because of all the Pan Am traffic?
