An interesting article about a new S. African invention..."anti-rape condom"
And frankly as I believe rape is one of the most dispicable deeds one human can perpetrate on another...I'm all for it (so long as it doesn't cause the female any harm)
My only question...when will these be available in U.S. college dorms?

Now that's an invention. I wonder wether they will get hold on the market. Now we just have to hope that those things won't be abused for mischief.

| I sure hope they paid the test-penis guys a lot of money. |

The article stated it hasn't been tested on an actual human male...
(sounded like they were very hopeful for volunteers though)
*LOL*

my question is what does it do, and how will you get the rapest to put it on? If its like a diaphram, we don't just walk around with those in hoping to get raped...... ?????

You don't live in a society that believes sex with a virgin will heal you of a disease that is spreading like wildfire killing thousands each day. |

you forgot to mention that the cons of this invention is the possibility of a higher rate of murder.
In other words, the controvesy stems from if the bad guy can't rape his victim, then they may just kill their victim instead.
rape vs. murder.

| dangerous ... how many wives/girlfriends are going to be angry at their men for something unrelated, run out and buy one of these things as "payback". |

These types of devices have been around for quite some time, but I do not believe they have ever gained commercial acceptance. See e.g. U.S. Patent No. 4,167,183.
There are a whole host of patents on this topic.
It is sad that there is a market for such devices in this day and age. |

The abstract on that patent... what a tongue twister!
"An anti-rape device adapted to be inserted into the vaginal cavity of a human female, which comprises a base member to which is attached elongated penis penetrating means which projects outwardly toward the mouth of the vaginal cavity when the device is operationally positioned within the vaginal cavity of a human female. The elongated penis penetrating means is surrounded or enveloped by retractable means which serves to prevent the walls of the vaginal cavity from contacting the penis penetrating means and which is adapted to be retracted upon penetration of the vaginal cavity by a male penis to permit penetration of the penis by the penis penetrating means."

You would think they would just buy chastity belts.

It's a good idea, in theory. However, I anticipate that word will get out quickly; and the rapists will simply test for, and remove them with a foreign object before they proceed with the rape. My projection is that much greater harm will be caused to the victims than they are already suffering.

I got as far as the first paragraph before that popped into my head. I don't see how this could stop a rape in the first place. Simply knowing this is out on the market a rapist would naturally check and once the device was discovered the woman is done for. A beating at best. She'll probably still get raped if not murdered in the end. |

Patents are usually written by engineers and edited by lawyers. (that should explain it)

Agreed, it doesn't stop the rape, it just pisses the rapist off, which could be really bad. ALso agree the revenge use could be bad too.

| something i don't really get is how the article said that it could stop the spread of AIDS. seems to me that barbs sticking into the rapist would cause imediate bleeding, and still spread AIDS. |

| I think their reasoning is that they hope this will reduce the overall number of rapes through fear and if you look at the one she is holding rather than the one on the dildo you can see that it is indeed condom shaped (closed on the end) so any blood from the penis should be contained inside. Both of which have the potential to reduce the transfer of AIDS. As myself and others have said though it seems more likely that rapists would check for this and the woman would end up being raped anyway thus having no affect on the AIDS rate. |

terrible idea! This won't stop a rapist at all! Another thing is if these barbs penatrate the attackers skin which would most likely cause bleeding that could easily cause the woman to get a disease. Not to mention what woman is going to wear that thing 24/7 incase she is attacked, and it's not like in the middle of an attack she can say "oh hold on mr.rapist I have to insert my anti-rapist device".
The whole thing is crazy. It's good to know they are trying to find a way to protect women but this one isn't the way.

My favorite sentence in the article:
"Other critics say the condom is mediaeval and barbaric -- an accusation Ehlers says should be directed rather at the act of rape."
Anyone who thinks that any action taken against a rapist is mediaeval and barbaric should really get their priorities in order. Sometimes people really surprise me.

Pff. Now we need to invent an anti anti rape condom.
To be honest though, it's hard to jusge whether it would work. On the one hand it could lead to more murders, but your first thought when something like that latches on your thing would not be 'right you're dead', it would probably be a) ahhhh what the hell is this? Get it off!! or b) Shit, anti rape condom! Darn the luck....

This is one of the dumbest inventions I've ever heard of. Another case of a rabid inventor creating without putting enough thought into what he/she's doing.
What's to stop the guy from removing the device? For those of you thinking he has to reach his fingers inside, think again. All he has to do is insert a dildo and have it latch onto that, they just pull it out, easy as that.
What is he going to do now that he's found out that she was wearing one? I don't even want to go there.
What's to stop an angry wife or girlfriend from abusing this invention to get back at a boyfriend or husband? While it's definitely not as malicious as rape, it's pretty darn vicious in itself.
If usage of this device becomes commonplace, do you really think that criminals and rapists won't learn how to remove the device without having to goto the hospital?
Inventors need to put more thought into what it is they are creating. Remember those 'unbreakable' bike locks and 'the Club' they put on the steering wheel of a car? All you have to do is chew a hole in the steering wheel and slip it right off. An experienced criminal can do it in seconds.

wel i agree with most of what you said, except the last bit, the inventor was a lady.
