Not the ending he expected! MAFS star Harrison Boon becomes the face of premature ejaculation pills after being dubbed the ‘bad guy’ of the season
Married at first sight “bad guy” Harrison Boon has unknowingly become the face of premature ejaculation pills.
A picture of Baumeister, 32, and his ex-wife Bronte Schofield during a MAFS commitment ceremony was used by online prescription service Pilot in a Facebook ad this week.
Boon looks surprised, while Schofield looks slightly embarrassed, as the text at the bottom reads, “If you last a lot longer than you thought possible.”
The cheeky ad implies the pair were shocked by the results of the drugs – although there’s no evidence Boon has ever taken ED drugs.
Pilot is an online service that allows men to receive scripts for medications related to their health needs in lieu of a face-to-face or phone consultation with a doctor.

The most commonly prescribed drug for men ages 18 to 64 with premature ejaculation is dapoxetine, known by the brand name Priligy.
A prescription is required in Australia, but men can access it without visiting a doctor through online platforms such as Pilot and Instant Scripts by filling out a questionnaire.
The drug works by inhibiting the serotonin transporter, increasing the action of serotonin at the postsynaptic cleft and as a result promoting ejaculation delay.
The Reddit user who spotted Pilot’s meme jokingly wondered if Boon knew about the ad or had become a brand spokesperson, asking, “Harrison’s new venture?”
It is understood that Boon did not voluntarily take part in the advertisement.

Chron Australia revealed what Boon’s actual new career path is on Tuesday.
He was known for manipulating his way out of sticky situations on Married At First Sight, and now he’s decided to put that silver tongue to good use.
The Sydney native is set to embark on a new career as a male-centric motivational speaker to inspire other single dads who have been in toxic relationships.
“I really want to try and shed some light on what single dads go through, especially with a vengeful ex-partner. I want to have conversations with men about what the legal system is like,” he told Chron Australia.
“I want to have uncomfortable conversations that men have to listen to these days and not many people are willing to have.”
