A South African Doctor Developed Condoms That Have Teeth


Looking at the title your probally thinking WTF right? But really this all real and it helps in the long run.

A female condom with jagged “teeth” that grips a man’s penis is the latest device developed to catch rapists in South Africa. Dr. Sonnet Ehlers is distributing the condom — called Rape-aXe — for free during the World Cup.
The condom is inserted by women like a tampon and its jagged teeth-like hooks inside attach to a man’s penis during intercourse. Once it grabs hold, only a doctor can remove it. Ehlers hoped this will help authorities to catch offenders. “It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it’s on,” Ehlers said. “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.”
During the World Cup she plans to distribute 30,000 of the free devices. After the trial period they will be sold for $2 each. “The ideal situation would be for a woman to wear this when she’s going out on some kind of blind date … or to an area she’s not
comfortable with,” Ehlers said.
The fact that something like this should even be made is beyond me...
