The changes are good, but how do you know all this? Who did the poll? That needs to be cited.

Overall you have a good draft that is organized and uses evidence. Two areas for revision:

1. Need an opening paragraph;
2. Need to think more about how this ad is supposed to get young boys to use condoms or wait. What will convince them to do that here in the ad? It's still true that they won't get pregnant. So what is it supposed to be saying that will make them change their behavior?

I'm not clear on how the ad will get the young males to do what the ad wants them to do.

He doesn't have to deal with unexpected pregnancy - at least not unless he wants to or is forced to.

How will this convince the boys to do what the ad wants them to do?

This is your paragraph 2. You need an opening paragraph that introduces the ideas/topic that the essay will be about. Can't start an essay with "this ad" before we know it's an essay about ads.

pregnant male.
In this ad we see a teen male sitting on his skate board showing his pregnant belly, something that is definitely going to grab the attention of anyone passing by this ad. The ad has but five words on it, “UNEXPECTED? Most teen pregnancies are.” Simply stating that most teen pregnancies are unexpected…along with this simple statement, the other ads within this series include a longer slogan, “…Avoid unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Use Condoms. Or wait.” This ad’s slogan is especially effective because it makes the intended audience think about the complications of the truth that most teen pregnancies are unexpected.
transmitted infections.
This ad uses visual aid to draw attention to the message that’s trying to be conveyed here. That message is that sex can lead to an unexpected pregnancy and/or one (or even multiple) sexually transmitted infections. The male has to deal with these things too, but the evidence isn’t there like it is for the females, showing for nine months on the front of their bodies.
After this ad was placed in Chicago, and similar ads were used in the surrounding areas, the teen pregnancy rates dropped significantly, portraying just how effective this ad campaign is and can be. This ad could be just as effective when placed just about anywhere because of its interesting portrayal of teen pregnancy and the effects it can have on un-expecting teens.
and males.

This ad was a part of an ad campaign that was launched in Chicago in 2013 due to the high rate of teen pregnancy in and around Chicago; in fact Chicago has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the country. The ad did its job in that it stirred up a lot of talk and lowered the teen pregnancy rate in Chicago by thirty-three percent. It reaches us emotionally through pathos, targeting teenagers in the Chicago area effectively using an image of a pregnant male.

The intended audience for this ad includes both males and females from about thirteen to twenty (specifically), but it caught the attention of all ages. When polled about the effectiveness of this ad, residents of the Chicago area found it to be effective in highlighting how girls are looked at by suddenly (yet only momentarily) thrusting the responsibility of carrying a child for nine months upon the males. Thus, a lot of young boys were intrigued by this ad as well, bringing them to think of how they would feel and look carrying around all the weight and evidence of their mistakes. It also shows that even though the boys are not the ones to be pregnant for nine months it can still affect them through sexually transmitted infections.

In conclusion, this ad series was very effective in capturing the attention of teens in the Chicago area and helping to lower the teen pregnancy rate. It made others more aware of the consequences of un-safe sex and how it not only can lead to an unexpected pregnancy but also sexually transmitted infections effecting both females and males.

Axe Ad
A lot of companies now a days are really trying to use humor or outrageous claims to appeal to audiences pathos emotions. The axe commercial in question appeals to one certain male audience, and lets you infer how strong the product is from what you see in the ad and more importantly what you don't see!
The axe advertisement is appealing to single young adult males between the ages of 18-30, and is using a pathos rhetorical appeal. Axe wants you to feel like the ad is funny and yet inspiring to young males, through the possibility of the males getting a girl in their pants. Males feel like if their jeans can get a women's clothes in them, then they should feel confident that wearing the axe product can guarantee a girl in their pants. Seeing this ad would also make that young male laugh and that helps in remembering the ad, then the next time that person is at the store looking for deodorant they are more likely to remember a funny ad they saw and buy that product.
The visuals in this ad would give the idea that females will be so attracted to the wearer, that person is bound to get lucky. What we don't see is the actual persons who own the clothes in the ad, but because we see the clothes hanging on the line, we can assume they had to be taken off. At the bottom right of the ad, we also read the phrase "Axe Effects" bringing us to think that wearing that axe product will instantly bring about the effect of getting lucky, or at least the clothes will. Another thing in the ad that isn't said is if the owner of the pants really did "get lucky" and its all an assumption made by the reader, which also calls into question the effectiveness of the product.
