Not for the prudish this.
A couple of days ago, an 18-year old girl from Utah called Emily tweeted a few pictures to disprove a theory she had been sick of hearing: men saying they were “too big” to wear a condom.
And we’re not talking about height either.

There was nothing particularly subtle about the pictures as they involved Emily, who teaches about contraception methods in schools, stretching a condom over her arm nearly as far as her elbow and over her closed first.
The pictures were Emily’s attempt to prove that no man can legitimately claim that their eh, member, is “too big” that they can’t wear a condom during sex and that there are options to suit all shapes and sizes.
What people don't get was Emily's tweet didn't say "everyone fits every condom"
It was saying if protection isn't available, neither are you— Hannah (@Captain_Jedi) July 15, 2015
Two days on, Emily’s original tweet has been retweeted over 12,000 times and has been the subject of articles on renowned websites such as Buzzfeed and the Huffington Post as well as our good selves, of course.
The response to the tweet wasn’t universally positive and was the subject of a few defensive tweets from male tweeters, but it also prompted a healthy debate about safe sex and also provided Emily with instant fame online.
She didn’t mind revealing her secret.
TIPS TO GET FAMOUS:
1. Put a piece of rubber on your arm and flip off the camera.
2. That's it. That's literally it, apparently.— pants (@QuartzPumpkin) July 15, 2015
This is it. This is my legacy. I will forever be known for shoving my arm inside a condom because I was bored and tweeting about it.
