We previously commended All About Sex for their witty, sexy advertisement. But after reading Em and Lo’s reaction to the ad, we’re starting to think we may have been a little too quick with the praise. As the dynamic duo point out, the commercial itself offers up some bad sex info (neither spitting nor swallowing substantially increases your risk of disease, nor can you “swallow sperm,” as the ad suggests), which calls the quality of AllAboutSex.be into question. (And, of course, since it’s not in English, we can’t really verify its quality for ourselves.)
Nevertheless, we still support the spirit of the ad, and we’d love to see some American sex ed outlets take some inspiration from it. (Planned Parenthood, we’re looking at you!)

I enjoyed this commercial very much. I think that it captures the urgency of people who have thought of risk after they engaged in a sexual activity instead of before. It brings the point home in a very funny way.
