An “anti-rape” condom has been invented in South Africa

An “anti-rape” condom has been invented in South Africa
“A South African inventor unveiled a new anti-rape female condom on Wednesday that hooks onto an attacker’s penis and aims to cut one of the highest rates of sexual assault in the world . . .

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

. . . 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.”

I wonder how the “live man” tests will be done. (picture via Yahoo! News)
