Richard Owl Mirror Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Anti-Rape Condom Unveiled The prototype of a new female condom is intended to identify rapists. The anti-rape device, called the "Rapex," hooks onto an attacker's penis, and can only be surgically removed. http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/antirape-condom-unveiled/2005/09/01/1125302668132.html http://soundingcircle.com/newslog2.php/__show_article/_a000195-000877.htm So, who among you think this is a GOOD idea?

cynthiaa89 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Oh my god...I think it's a good idea, but some fucked up things might happen with it. What if some bitch gets pissed off at her husband and yeah...Wow.. Quote "Life's tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I loved this: Ehlers, who showed off a prototype on Wednesday, said women had tried it for comfort and it had been tested on a plastic male model but not yet on a live man. Production was planned to start next year. I don't think they are going to find too many "live men" willing to test it.

ToriAllen Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Looks rather uncomfortable for the girl... I have seen this before and was surprised that rape was a large enough problem in South Africa to warrant all of the women walking around with these in. It also seems that if they became popular, men would wise up to their existence and check before proceeding. Quote Smart men learn from their own mistakes; Wise men learn from others.

tizz Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 I will admit that I might have gone to more frat parties in college if I had one of those, but I can't see myself wearing anytrhing like that on a daily basis. I hate tampons for crying out loud.

cynthiaa89 Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Seriously. It doesn't look very comfortable. ...For anyone Ehlers, who showed off a prototype on Wednesday, said women had tried it for comfort and it had been tested on a plastic male model but not yet on a live man. Production was planned to start next year. I don't think they are going to find too many "live men" willing to test it. Which is exactly why we should keep pedophiles around. That would be the ultimate punishment. Quote "Life's tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 There is also the "in the wrong hands" theory If your boyfriend broke up with you or what not and you slapped one of those suckers on and then had a "after break sex "moment...then filed charges because you are pissed... it indeed would be found and an innocent person may get charged .... its a great idea, granted, but with all the screwed up people in thei world i can see it doing some harm as well Quote -I don't know about you...but I am SICK and tired of being nice and understanding!!! -The Liver is evil and must be punished! -The Early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Asmodai Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I personally wouldn't be able to do it, since I have problems putting anything into my vagina, but... It's a pretty interesting idea. Easily abused, though. I can definitely see myself in a spiteful mood putting one of those on, seducing a random stranger, and running off cackling into the night... Quote I'm not angry.

ImWithStupid Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I think this is a great invention if is practical and comfortable enough for the woman. I'm sure if this is ever used we will later hear about the rapist suing the victim like you hear about burglars that break into someones house, fall down the stairs, break their leg and then sue the homeowner.

Mohammed_Rots_In_Hell Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I think it is a good idea, but there are laws (in Texas anyway) against, automatic deterance devices, for example, I know it is illegal to booby trap your front door when you go to bed at night. The reason for this law is the idea that the booby trap has no conscience and will activate regardless of who (in this case) is coming through the door. They argue that the house may catch on fire and the inhabitants become unconscience from smoke inhalation and a fireman may need to break down the front door to rescue the inhabitants and subsequently become a victim of this seamingly good idea. I know of no valid reason that someone may need to penetrate a vagina without the woman that it is attached to consent, but the law does exist. If the woman was wearing this devise and actually did get raped, the attacker may get really pissed and kill the woman. She ends up at the morgue, and the coroner may need to check for signs of forced rape and get hurt as well. I don't know, but my first instincts are "Yes" it is a good idea.
