Sex is like bungee jumping, super fun but if you don’t pay attention to your safety, you’re screwed. Literally and figuratively. You’ve been constantly told, and hopefully have acted on, the fact that it’s crucial to stay safe while having sex. But did you know that the definition of safety has changed since you were taught about the birds and the bees? It’s not just about being physically safe but also about digital safety.
Our phones have become an extension of ourselves. Whether you’re in the loo or sleeping, it’s always right next to you. In a creepy sort of way, it knows everything about you – where you live, everything you’ve ever searched online, every conversation you’ve had. And since phones have made recording intimate moments easier and more common, it also holds that information. While everyone from college kids to married couples are experimenting and capturing their intimate moments, not many are thinking about its damaging consequences. What happens if you lose your phone? This hair-raising video made by Manforce Condoms imagines just that.
There are some things your phone shouldn’t know about you. Filming or taking photos of your sex life makes you vulnerable to voyeurism, illegal pornography and blackmailing. Manforce urges you to use your phone responsibly because the only truly safe way to have sex is to #ShutThePhoneUp during your private moments.
