Seen any good sites, lately?
'Not tonight, darling.'
Frequently asked by clients to provide 'examples of stuff from which they can learn', currently in my intel bulletin (a package of advice, tips & other resources—annual fee $500) is 'Condom Revolution'.
If you're squeamish on the subject matter, either deal with it or go away now—there's good learning to be had, as it's an excellent example of how to present yourself in a concise informative & attractive manner without resorting to hype & overstatement.
Here's the clip from their front page:
At Condom Revolution, our belief is that we were all born with the right to celebrate the experience of being a human.
We're committed to the idea that promoting healthy sexuality will bring out the best in all of us.
We are pleased to offer the finest line of erotic products in a most appealing environment designed to validate our feelings and enhance that experience. With educated 'erotic specialists' available to guide your shopping experience. That's why ConRev is the 'world's finest erotic giftshop'.
We bring you the finest condoms and personal lubricants from quality manufacturers like Durex, Trojan, LifeStyles, Vivid, Inspiral, Astroglide, Wet, KY, ID and more. We also carry over 15,000 items from sensuous apparel to sex toys, leather, lotions, lingerie, adult cards, books and the very best in adult DVDs.
Warning! This site contains sexually oriented 'adult' products! If you are under the legal age to purchase these materials in your community, or if viewing our sexually explicit material is illegal in your community, then leave now! If you are not 18 years of age or older, then you may NOT continue and you MUST EXIT!
By any standards, that's good copy. And waaaaaaaay better than some dumb elevator-type pitch like 'I help people enjoy better sex.' (Although that in itself is a big plus over the typical 'so go-on, now ask me how' nonsense in common use.)
And, for those so-interested, the graphic in this piece is apparently the world's oldest surviving condom—a reusable item made of made of pig intestine and dating back to 1640, and completely intact, along with is its orginal written-in-Latin users' manual which advises users to immerse the condom in warm milk prior to its use to avoid diseases.
Hhhmmm… dunno about you, but I'm currently thinking 'not tonight, darling'.
