D&AD New Blood Awards 2024 entry, Durex brief: Breaking barriers.
Breaking barriers
As society progresses, it's crucial to challenge outdated beliefs and misconceptions surrounding sexual activity, particularly in older age demographics. Durex, as a leading advocate for sexual health and wellness, can play a pivotal role in breaking down these barriers. This design concept outlines a comprehensive campaign aimed at destigmatising sexual activity in older age, promoting healthy conversations, and fostering positive attitudes towards sexuality.
Age UK
“Sex in later life can be seen as embarrassing and unmentionable but sexual relationships provide physical, mental, and emotional health benefits for people, regardless of age. The achievement of sexual wellbeing can play an important part in older people's relationships and being comfortable talking about sex is essential to avoiding STIs”
Demographic
