'L. Condoms' Commercial Awesomely Defines 'A Good Man'

Condom Ad Delightfully Explains What Makes A 'Good Man'
|

"Good men give a f**k."

That's the premise behind a new commercial for This Is L., a condom company with a focus on HIV/AIDS prevention in developing countries. (For every condom you purchase from L., a person in an at-risk area in a developing country receives one free.)

Their hilarious new ad, released on Valentine's Day, features a man engaged in manly pursuits in the woods as he prepares for a lady's late-night visit to his tent. As the voiceover explains, good guys are thoughtful when it comes to the protection they use, undistracted by macho ideals. A "good man," after bandaging an injured puppy's paw, picking flowers while drinking a scotch and preparing an exceedingly sexual snack plate, enthusiastically whips out a string of condoms (which are made with natural latex and are glycerin- and paraben-free).

"Good men know sex isn't about conquering women. It's about always making it worth her while."

While it probably takes more than philanthropic, additive-free condoms to make sex "worth her while," are least you'll know your lover is a do-gooder.

Although it can't be considered an alternative to daily exercise, having an orgasm is a cardiovascular activity. "Your heart rate increases, blood pressure increases [and your] respiratory rate increases," says Berman. And because it's akin to running in many physiological respects, your body also releases endorphins. Sounds like a pretty fun way to work your heart out. (credit:Alamy)
It Relieves Stress(03 of05)

Most of our lives are so hectic that it's hard to even imagine being relaxed. However, it turns out that sexual release can double as stress relief. Not only do the hormones help with this task, Berman says that being sexual also gives our minds a break: "When we're stressed out and overextending ourselves, [we're] not being in the moment. Being sexual requires us to focus on one thing only." (credit:Thinkstock)

There actually might be something to the idea that we "glow" after sex. The hormone DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), which shows increased levels during sexual excitement, can actually make your skin healthier. (credit:Thinkstock)

Last but not least, when you know what it takes to make yourself orgasm, you may increase your emotional confidence and intelligence. "When you understand how your body works and ... [that it] is capable of pleasure on its own, regardless of your partner status, you make much better decisions in relationships," says Logan Levkoff, Ph.D., a sexologist and certified sexuality educator. "You don't look to someone else to legitimize that you're a sexual being." (credit:Thinkstock)
