Lovers of the well-known phrase “Netflix and chill” (aka “watch Netflix and hook up”) may have a new favorite contraceptive device. In honor of the subtle invitation, Yousef Okasheh, a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, teamed up with a friend to sell “the definitive Netflix and Chill Condom.”

“I saw a couple memes have been floating around, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I think it would be hilarious to quickly sell [condoms],'” Okasheh recently told Fusion. He enlisted the help of a friend who studies design at UT Austin, and they quickly came up with their product and launched a website yesterday. Currently, the self-proclaimed “poor college students” are selling three-packs for $12.

“These make a great present to give your partner for any NF and chill event,” says the product description. “They also make great presents for anyone, on nearly any occasion… just as long as you want to have sex with them.” It’s important to note, as the website does, however, that neither a Netflix subscription or sexual partner is included with purchase. Those, you’ll have to come up with on your own.

As Fusion pointed out, the price point is a little high compared to the average pack out there and they only come in one size without any bells or whistles. However, Okasheh did confirm that they’re FDA approved, lubricated, and won’t expire for several years. What they do offer is serious entertainment value, and of course, the benefits of safe sex.

Although it seems unlikely that the duo got Netflix’s approval to use its branding, the streaming service is getting good publicity out of Okasheh and his friend’s venture. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings doesn’t seem to bothered by it anyway. Earlier today, he joked on twitter:

Now if only the streamer would provide a how-to on setting up the Netflix and chill button to order these condoms for you, along with everything else it can do.

For the most part, Netflix loses more movies than TV series. But in June, the streamer is about to say goodbye to one of the top dramas on network television: NCIS. Even Netflix is going to miss that show when it's gone.

There aren't a lot of movies leaving Netflix in June, but there are some top-tier titles that will be leaving the service including Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2, Animal House, Godzilla, and all of the early Nightmare on Elm Street flicks. Bullet Train is leaving so quickly on June 2 that you may not get a chance to watch it before it's gone. This is why it's so important to plan ahead so you can catch your favorite movies before they depart Netflix. We can help you with our roundup of everything leaving Netflix in June 2024. As always, our picks for the month are in bold.

We're not even halfway through the year, so why are we ranking the best shows of Netflix after just five months? While these lists usually come at the end of the year, we couldn't wait -- there are just too many good shows out there that need to be watched either for the first time or the 10th.

And that's certainly true of Netflix's original series programming, which has been on fire in the first half of 2024. From a low-key sci-fi show about a mother's discovery and a father's attempt to uncover the truth to a wildly popular show about obsession and sexual trauma, these five Netflix series showcase not only what's great about the streamer, but what's great about the television format as well.
