Howard Brown Sexcards

So I have blended this idea from something I spied in the latest issue of Print Magazine and my friend Jimmy who had a much much more elaborate idea for sex cards (points for sex in interesting spots / locations). I am not sure I have the balance right: I tried to both be funny AND have utility (I am always about utility). Anyway, I had fun doing this tonight even though there feels like there is a hot poker behind my right eye and am pleased with the final outcome. I think it has a nice feel to it and gets a few messages I wanted to get across.

However, dear readers, your thoughts are always encouraged!

My Idea for Sexcards

Two Comments so far from those I "shopped" it around to at the gym.

1) Type too small. Tom and Joe, both in the 40s, couldn't read some of the type. "This is a card for people in their twenties. Can you make the senior edition?"

2) Confusion over the term "natural" for condom choice. Joe's first reaction was that "natural" meant bareback / raw, instead of a type of condom. I understand and agree; I will probably update to be "thin" or something like that.

I'm chatting with you with my comments, but overall I like the design. I had to laugh at the small type comment--it's funny working with younger designers who seem to use 6 point type everywhere, when I know I was there once myself.

I am charmed, but I guess I am still a little unclear on the concept.

Are they supposed to be handed out to people when you meet them at networking events --a Dirty Business card?

Will they be used in games in the back of comic book stores --Magic Fingers, the Gathering?

Is there some city in which there are Sex Paramedics, and when you are just about to collapse from sex deprivation you call 6911, and they come by in a fabulous ambulance, and look in your wallet so that when they check you in with the Love Doctor, basic information will be available to them so that they can set up a line and the appropriate fluids for the appropriate orifices?

When you're in a bathhouse and you've just done it with an anonymnous body, do you quickly fill out the card and fling it at the (still-gasping) body of your partner as sort of an instant feedback mechanism, or a souvenir not unlike a Playbill at the theater?

In any case, I am reminded that, until the age of 37, I did not have a credit card. Now there's something else I am behind the curve on--
