Durex Performa - Last longer

Durex Performa condoms contain benzocaine (a mild anaesthetic), witch helps men last longer in bed. To highlight this product benefit we distributed limited edition pillowcases alongside performa condoms at New Zealand's biggest annual sex expo, Erotica. As a result the Durex stand was inundated, increasing sales by 28%. The pillowcases proved such a hit with the guys that hundreds more were printed and sold in D.vice sex stores as a continuation of the promotion

Wow, I have to say that I have seen some pretty smart advertising in my day, but this DOES take the cake!! The whole idea behind it is pure brilliance. The effect is two-fold. You have the product that claims to make men last longer, and you have the pillow cases with unattractive figures to make sure that the men definitely last longer.

I think it's sick to make love to your girlfriend and have disgusting images just to make you last longer.

Or is it a symbol of your commitment to her? That you would go to such lengths to prolong her enjoyment shows you care.

oh people. it is a promotion. no one really expected people to really look at those images during sex. it is called "humor". ease up already

It's definitely not a joke, I recommend every man do so, think of their grandmother or an unattractive co-worker, they'll last longer without the need for fancy condoms.

this doesn't make any sense though. It's stating the same idea twice. Condoms have a numbing agent, so you last longer....then why do you need to look at something ugly if your twig and berries are already numb? I would see this as durex feels like nothing at all, so you have to think about something ugly, or look at something ugly to keep going.

I simply feel sorry for the guys that need that...

I love it. I think it's fantastic advertising. I'm a communication/advertising major...I'm a female who loves comedy, and damn, I want some of these silly pillow cases to laugh at!!! LOVE IT!!!

what I saw in the advertising of condoms, a very funny creative, which is of great interest to those products. Excuse my poor English

lol's picture

THESE advertisements i just LOVE!!!

bec's picture

maybe its the pillow or the condoms...you know? make your choice: why think of some ugly women when making love with a nice one?!?... when you could think/see her and "last" longer using the durex performa (just some idea :) )

Surely the point of advertising is to get people talking about the product, develop some interest, brand recognition and ultimately sell. Judging by the breadth of posts I think you could say they've done their job exceptionally well.

I think's it's a fun connection but the pillow should not work and should not SELL because we need the guy to think about us: the pretty girls and handsome guys, not a freak!!!!! So let's destroy the pillowwwwwcases for gooddddd....
