Puerto Rico Quickly Scraps Pandemic Safe Sex Campaign Amid Backlash

It seems a new safe sex campaign in Puerto Rico aimed at helping citizens during the pandemic was not received well. PR’s health department quickly scrapped the “offensive” safe sex campaign which promoted masturbation as a way to avoid becoming infected with COVID-19. The Departmento de Salud’s poster used a suggestive image of a thumb pressed into a grapefruit and drew scorn from the island’s conservative Catholic population.

The campaign’s health officials, which also advised people to wash their hands and their sex toys, was swiftly taken down because the “graphic” grapefruit image was in “poor taste.” “Although our only intention is to educate and prevent, the publication was offensive to some sectors of the population,” the department said in a statement, explaining it didn’t want the message to be lost by distractions. A health expert added: “It seems they didn’t anticipate there was going to be this backlash when Puerto Rico is truly very conservative regarding these issues.”
