    Condoms With Teeth Fight Rape In South Africa

    Condoms With Teeth Fight Rape In South AfricaOver 30,000 Rape-Axe condoms are being handed out free at South Africa's World Cup. While they won't stop rape, the condoms (worn by women) have jagged-teeth inside to tear penises up, and can only be removed by doctors.

    Sounds grim, but then I imagine rape isn't any fun for the woman either. The inventor, Dr Sonnet Ehlers, was inspired to create the painful condom after she met a woman who'd been raped. The woman apparently told Ehlers "if only I had teeth down there," which encouraged her to look at ways to make men regret their actions.

    Women fearful of being raped can insert the Rape-Axe condom inside themselves like a diaphragm or tampon. If her worst fears come true, and a man attempts to rape her, the Rape-Axe's inside hooks attach themselves to the penis and don't come off, instead getting even tighter and stopping the man from being able to urinate. The only way to remove it is by seeing a doctor—which will obviously help with prosecution.

    After the World Cup, Ehlers will be selling the Rape-Axe condoms for $2 each.

    Heard about this on the radio. Good idea in theory, but it actually seems pretty stupid.

    I pity the guy who finds a woman to have consensual sex with, only to have her forget she's wearing a condom that will tear his penis up.

    :eek: the question is will the woman have time to put it on? usually it happens so fast...unless she wears it all the times.

    We tried to rent it at Blockbuster once but the cashier was too offended to do the transaction and insisted we get another movie. She literally confiscated it from us.

    100% true story.

    That's the thing, the woman would have to already have it on, just in case she got raped.

    I can just picture a woman leaving her house in the morning. "Dammit, I forgot to put on my rape condom today. Oh well, I probably won't get raped today."

    Ohhh I overlooked that it can be worn as a diaphragm.

    What a sad situation that a woman have to resort to this. :(

    This is crazy!!! What if this product reaches the United States and chicks would use this condom just to get back at their ex-boyfriend??? This is going to backfire big time and next thing you know, men will start throwing acid at woman's faces... The whole world is coming to an end, 2012 indeed!!!

    This seems like it would work better as a preventative that makes potential rapists wonder whether a woman is or is not wearing it. As another poster noted it seems like once it actually is used during the course of a rape might be too late as it might lead to more violence against the victim.

    Sort of like a MAD solution to rape. You mess me up. I mess you up too..

    I don't know about you but I think a male could spot this during simple CONSENSUAL foreplay and avoid a damaged member.

    I'll risk my fingers ;)
