Good Boys Use Condoms (1998) User Reviews

Very good erotic short

[ninjaalexs · 7/10 · 22 October 2006]

The storyline involves a man having sex with a woman, while he is having sex another identical looking woman enters the room and proceeds to have sex with him after he has applied a new condom. The man takes off the condom and proceeds to masturbate, as he is doing this a third identical woman enters the room and watches.

Good Boys Use Condoms is from a series of short erotic films promoting condoms. These films were made for French TV. I have seen another film from this series, Gaspar Noe's Sodomites and I prefer Good Boys Use Condoms out of the two.

Good Boys Use Condoms is stylistically similar to Sodomites. Both feature excellent atmospheric lighting and excellent camera-work. Good Boys Use Condoms is the more accessible of the two featuring less camera movement and no fast disorientating editing. It is also much lighter in its approach and features some humour.

I was amazed at how explicit this film was after watching Sodomites, I was expecting it to be explicit, but it leaves nothing to the imagination and it is all the better for it. Lucile Hadzihalilovic has done a superb job at creating a stylish, sexy and useful short. It's a shame UK sex education films aren't this interesting.

Misses out in basically every area

"Good Boys Use Condoms" is a French live action short film from 1998, so this one will have its 20th anniversary next year. It runs for under 6 minutes and was written and directed by Lucile Hadzihalilovic, the wife of Argentinean director Gaspar Noé. And while he has some adult stuff in his body of work, so does she and the outcome we got here. It is basically from start to finish porn, early on guy and girl, then another one joins in for a threesome. The film is pretty explicit in terms of male genitalia and there is also a graphic ejaculation scene at the very end. I personally don't think this is a good watch for anybody who isn't horny, but yeah there's really nothing in it except sex. And the film also misses out completely on making a strong statement pro condoms and contraception. Is the message that with a condom he could have come inside one of the two girls? Oh well, still looks like he was having a hell of a time. Sadly, the audience doesn't. Watch something else instead.
