Re: Anti-rape condom?

yikes. It's a logical solution to a scarey situation!

I need more information on it to decide if it's logical, how does it not hurt the woman wearing it? Is it thick, etc?

Not to be gross,,,,but it that "attaches" to the raper wouldn't he bleed immediately?

Chat Icon I know!

What I'm wondering is... what if a lady has one (because u know u have to wear that all the time - u dont know when u might get raped), and u get all hot with their man and forget to take it off? Ouch! Poor guy!

From the looks of it... the woman wears it, like tampon, and is someone penetrates, it grabs hold (surrounding), and could only be surgically removed.

This is what im trying to figure out too. Do you just walk around with this thing in all the time? What happens when you want to be with your partner?

Doesnt that country have the flames that shoot of cars when getting Car jacked?

Re: Anti-rape condom?

Initially, I felt as Waterhouse does:
“If a victim is wearing such a device it may enrage the attacker further and possibly result in more harm being caused,” said Sam Waterhouse, advocacy coordinator for Rape Crisis.

But I find the concept very interesting. It *IS* about time something new is being done...especially in S. Africa where rape is so rampant.

OMG This is a great invention for that country. WOW!!!

From the looks of the picture, looks like the man can get "in" easy enough but when he pulls out its bye-bye pen!s skin. OR maybe its just they cant get in because they get stuck and poked?

Re: Anti-rape condom?

Little more info:

Ehlers said the "rapex" hooks onto the rapist's skin, allowing the victim time to escape and helping to identify perpetrators.

"He will obviously be too pre-occupied at this stage," she told reporters in Kleinmond, a small holiday village about 100km (60 miles) east of Cape Town. "I promise you he is going to be too sore. He will go straight to hospital."

The device, made of latex and held firm by shafts of sharp barbs, can only be removed from the man through surgery which will alert hospital staff, and ultimately, the police, she said.

Thing of it as a tampon. You walk around, not really feeling it, but make sure to remove it when it's time.

According to the article women have tested its comfort and it has been tested on a plastic male model but not a real man "yet"

Did you read the article? It didnt give all that much specific information. But maybe if you Google it you will find more.
