South African doctor creates Anti-Rape Condom for Women

This isn't as bogus as it sounds. As in... we think it could really work!

CNN reported yesterday that a South African doctor has created an anti-rape condom that is designed for women. The device, called "Rape-aXe", features rows of jagged hooks that will attach to the male genitalia upon penetration. Once on, the condom cannot be removed unless by a doctor. In addition, it is designed to cause extreme discomfort.

"It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it's on," Dr. Sonnet Ehlers, the product creator, told CNN. "If he tries to remove it, it will clasp even tighter... however, it doesn't break the skin, and there's no danger of fluid exposure."

CNN's story said that Ehlers had sold her house and car to launch the project. The doctor plans to distribute 30,000 free devices during the World Cup period.


This could really be the best idea... !!
