Do you know there's more than one right way to wear a condom? Before sex-ed teachers everywhere send me angry Tweets, let me clarify. Although there is only one proper way to don a condom during sex, a few daring individuals have found a way to turn condoms into wearable clothing. Although I can't speak on the comfort of said clothing (Is it lubricated? Ripped for her pleasure? Cherry flavored?), I can say that it looks pretty darn awesome.
For a class project at Van Lang University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Nguyen Minh Tuan constructed a designer dress using 700 condoms. In doing so, Tuan hoped to raise awareness surrounding HIV/AIDS, and the importance of safe sex. This sexy, strapless number is perfect for a night on the town. Just remember: if things get hot and heavy between you and your date, the condoms on this dress are off limits! Any condom that has been previously unwrapped, punctured, or expired will not protect you from STDs and pregnancy.

Nothing screams "SAFE SEX!" like this little number, designed for a fashion show aimed at raising HIV awareness in Malaysia. This is what the Victoria's Secret fashion show would look like if AIDS activists such as myself had their way. And boys -- your minds are in the gutter and I'm absolutely okay with it.

I'm amazed by the unique ways in which these designers have drawn attention to safe sex and AIDS awareness. Do you think that sexual education needs an exciting remake? How would you reform sex-ed, if you could? Most importantly, what shoes should I wear with my condom dress?
