I have a splendid idea for this dude;  
Glue your urethral meatus shut. No more need for condoms! And you can rub one out anywhere and then just go take a pee and it’ll release all that trapped semen as well.

Brilliant, eh?

edited to add: My husband showed me this dude’s marvelous idea just a few minutes ago. Said something about all that creativity women have is repressed 25% of the time 'cause they’re all about their periods. I’ve found that men’s creativity is repressed when they’re horny and that’s roughly 95% of the time so my suggestion is even more brilliant.

Look out, snark-fest ahoy: [Nonreligious Questions](http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2017/02/21/male-chiropractor-who-invented-the-menstrual-product-of-our-nightmares-is-stunned-by-the-backlash/#disqus_thread)

One of the best responses:

> Campaign #2  
> 2 women-- friends-- are having a wine and wings evening at one of their homes. Ms. 1 has just come back to the living room, sits on the sofa.
> 
> Ms. 1-- I hope you don’t mind, but I used one of your tampons.
> 
> Ms. 2-- No problem! I don’t even use them anymore, in fact. I found something new. Why don’t you just take the rest when you leave?
> 
> 1-- You don’t use them? What did you find?
> 
> 2-- This new thing called Men sez. It’s chiropractor invented, so you know you can trust it, and he says this is the clean, odorless way to care of that nasty time of the month. It has totally changed how I see my period.
> 
> 1-- But what is it?
> 
> 2-- A glue. It comes in a lipstick tube, so I never worry about those awkward moments when your stuff falls out of your purse.
> 
> 1-- Oh I know those. When my panty liner fell out and onto Gary’s shoes… OMG. I was so embarrassed.
> 
> 2-- Exactly! Those days are gone for good! So you have this lipstick tube with a glue that you use to close up your lips down there and keep everything sealed away until you pee. Then everything flows out and you just flush it away and seal up again! I’m so much more productive now too. I’m never spending so much thinking about if I smell or will get a stain. I feel so free.
> 
> 1-- Why isn’t this product totally well known and everywhere?
> 
> 2-- Men sez was invented by a white guy, and that angered some lesbians, and they’ve basically forced everyone to not talk about it and have used their mighty political juice to stop many stores from carrying Men sez.
> 
> 1-- Oh yeah. My boyfriend lost his job to a lesbian so I know just what you mean. I mean, I know lots of white men who say how hard life is these days for them. But Men sez sounds so great. It just fair to us.
> 
> 2-- I know, right? A revolutionary product is a revolutionary product, no matter who came up with it.
> 
> 1-- Well, all I know is I’m stopping at the store on the way home to get my own Men sez. You can keep the rest of the box for the book club!
> 
> 2-- Oh yeah.
> 
> They dissolve in laughter. Fade to black. Ad tagline: Men sez. Because a man says how to best take care of your annoying monthly visitor.
