Le roi de la capote

For those who do not like the condom (in French, the common word is capote), please go to see this site of public health: on Le Roi De La capote, it is possible to find a condom at your size, " a real customized evening dress ". 55 sizes are available, with all the variations on length and width of the penis. In order to find the perfect size, you only need to print the molds: they are two paper rules, to cut along dotted lines and to roll up around the erected penis. Then read the codes which are shown on the marks. And place your order to receive the package of customized condoms (6,90 euro 6).
Founding the site of " Le roi de la capote " in 2005, Marc Pointel created the first web site of this kind. His online shop is the biggest site of condoms and the N°1 in France today. 4000 condoms pass by every day. Nevertheless, Marc Pointel is discouraged. Former advertising director, converted to sexology, this activist fights since years, but in vain, for a better sex education. " The French people do not like the condom, they associate it with the disease and not with the fantasy. They call it a "anti-AIDS" while it is the only product in the world which allows you to have sex without risks, to be serenely a pig and to be happy for 1 only euro. When the State will say: " kiss, do, unload, kick down, have fun by all the holes and all this for the price of a condom ", people will eventually use it. But at the moment, it is a disaster. " In South Africa (49,3 million inhabitants), it is sold or distributes 500 million condoms a year. In France (65,4 million inhabitants), it is sold or distributes 100 million condoms a year. It is an extremely low figure. Marc Pointel made the calculation: " that makes us less than 3 condoms a year, and by sexualy active person. You believe that the French people make love less of 3 times a year? It is disturbing but nobody speaks about it. "For him," It is a colossal mistake to associate AIDS and condom. " Why do you want that people put a symbol of death while the condom is a symbol of freedom? To sell cars which are potentially destructive machines, the advertising executives bet everything on the eroticism and that works: " the road finally mastered ", " He has the car, he will have the woman ", "Auto Emoción", " the most beautiful performances are the ones that last ", " Get ready to make jealous persons " … Now, compare with slogans praising the "charms" of the condom. That makes me shiver. Marc Pointel nearly chokes when he sees the devastation caused by the last campaign: " they staged a homosexual, as if the heterosexuals or the lesbians were not concerned. And what says this homosexual? " I made love with Marcel, I didn't put a condom, I got lucky and got nothing. Now we are careful " ". Underlying message: it's OK not to protect yourself. " The ministry thus encourages the French people in a unconscious way to have sex without condom. But the worst, it is the sexual educational absence at school. In France, we just show two anatomical charts and we pronounce only hardly the word penetration. The young people do not even know that the penis has erectile properties. When they see a sex at rest, they speak about micro-penis. They make their education by looking at porns. For them, a penis is necessarily 25 cms and a woman necessarily a bitch who's excited on command ". Result: most of the French people believe that if the condom explodes or tears it is that it has poor quality. " I have users who complain: " your condoms are bad ". And when I ask them " did you check if your partner was lubricated ? ", then comes a blank of 3 minutes. 99 % of the men ignore that the women have no vaginal automatic lubrication. And with women, it is hardly better: when the man puts his condom, they stares looking at him, fixed with big eyes and complain that he has difficulty to stay hard. Rare are the ones who think of helping him, by putting it in the mouth in or by caressing his testicles. Rare also are the ones who think of inverting the positions: for a man to stay hard when he puts his condom, it is better than he lyes on the back, with loins in the warmth of the sheets. It's quite simple, but here it is: it is necessary to make love with its brain but that is not given to everybody apparently. "
