SKYN - Save Intimacy (2018) :45 (France)

Technology is destroying our intimacy. In fact, we are having less sex now that we were a generation ago. Luckily, SKYN is on a mission to save that. Nice social commentary in this darkly dystopian ad from Sid Lee Paris. Directed by Terence Neale (Insurrection), the ad doesn't slam all technology. The condom brands SKYNFEEL™ technology, which is made from ultra-thin and ultra-soft material is a good thing, right? Anything to get the rate of sex up. Isn't it interesting that as a condom brand their biggest problem isn't that people aren't wearing condoms, but that people aren't having sex as much as they used to because we're more interested in our smart phones? Céline and Clément Mornet-Landa, Creative Directors at Sid Lee Paris explained it thusly: “Today it’s easier to look at strangers’ everyday lives on Instagram than it is to meet someone in person. When Netflix launched, for example, sexual relations dropped 10%.”
