Insight
Women are tired of being misunderstood when it comes to painful sex.
Men don’t understand the pain that women experience during sex.
Solution
‘Gents that get’ it by Durex, change the norm by encouraging men to start the conversation around painful sex. In order for society to start taking women's pain seriously, we make it his problem too.
Background
Sex is supposed to feel good. Yet 3 out of 4 women experience painful sex at some point in their lives. Painful sex for women is normalised in our society and women struggle to speak up about it when their pain isn’t being taken seriously.
Creative proposition
Have painful conversations, not painful sex.
