Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

This makes me think about Trojan condoms. That's quite the name, because the Trojan horse was used to sneak men into Troy. So where and what sneaking is the Trojan condoms doing?

Common misunderstanding. The Trojan horse is named after the city it attacked, and the condoms are named after the Trojans - that's not the Greeks, but the guys who held the wall and got slaughtered. That's your dick if the wall falls, the other side is the Greeks.

I like this much better than what I suspect is the actual truth: "It makes you think of scantily clad muscular men in shiny outfits, and giant horse dicks."

You really should listen to the Yes Minister explanation of this.

Hold on........

Interesting idea, but naming your personal protective product after the most famous failing team on a mythical story is some pretty bad marketing.

Maybe they mean you should use it if you have a schlong the size of a horse?

Anyone who hasn't had to go fishing for a "lost" condom on occasion either lives in the mother's basement or seldom has sex that needs the use of condoms. Or perhaps both.

My wife still swears our 3rd daughter was the result of a lost trojan condom.
