The New York City health department hands out 40 million free condoms each year. This year, the city decided to hold a contest to design the wrappers for these free condoms. The designs were submitted online and voted on by 15,000 people. Luis Acosta, a designer from Queens submitted the winning power button design.

I wanted to associate it with something we see in our daily lives so it wasn't taboo for people, Acosta said. Not that he found the power symbol arousing, or anything. I like electronics but I don't like them that much.

Some of the runners up included: a 19th century top hat, a manhole cover, and a subway train plunging into a dark tunnel. A NYC subway train going into a tunnel, now that would be the ultimate symbol of dirty sex.
