The Onion Film Standard has quickly become one of my favorite parts of the Onion, it's just so masterful, and the guy playing the film critic is brilliant. At this point I can't even go a day without watching their review of The Desolation of Smaug.

Welllll it's ambiguous. Your interpretation is valid, especially given The Onion's recent level of dark humor. It could also imply that he will hardly ever have sex again.

Or, he's about to meet the girl of his dreams, and, after using the condoms once or twice in the whirlwind beginning stages, they will embark on a lifelong, committed relationship full of love and trust and therefore will no longer need to use condoms; his soulmate's birth control pills are fine until they decide to start a family.
