CULTURE: The Anti-Rape Condom: New Must-Have Accessory

Women are now free to roam dark alleyways rape-free with the help of RapeX, the first and only anti-rape condom. Ladies need only insert this magical device into their vagina and they are assured that the next man to try to enter them will get more than they bargained for. The special condom is designed to hook into the penis upon penetration and cannot be removed without the aide of a doctor. This vicious defense has raised some concerns that have impeded the initial release of anti-rape condoms, but South Africa needn't wait any longer.

RapeX claims to be deterrent to rape, but some are skeptical that it will only increase a rapist's violent behavior. And some feminist groups are pissed that women are expected to shape their life to the threat of rape. But at least RapeX makes it harder for a man with a cylinder attached to his penis to squirm out of a rape accusation.

hellz ya!!!!

i see the feminist side too....but hellz ya anyways!!!

why not?

nip IT at the bud as it were

=-> Alecks

Wow, thats some scary stuff. Just seeing it may be enough of a detterent...


**cringes**

Haha, yes!

But no.

I think this is designed for the prevention of stranger-in-a-dark-alley rapes. Far more common is sexual assault by someone who the woman knows and trusts. In which case, she wouldn't be wearing one of *these*.

i see a big risk of "girl puts rapex in so she won't get raped, goes out on the town, gets hammrered, goes home with guy she really does want to get it on with, forgets rapex is in, injures would-be one-night stand forever."

If this were to come to the states i could see it be using in vengeance or something...

otherwise i think its a good idea.... no woman should be raped.

because only american women are ever vengeful?

ummm, but see, rape can happen in any part of the body.. I don't see a woman inserting this into her anus or keeping it in her mouth. or a man doing the same, for that matter.

I'm all for inflicting as much violence on rapists as possible...always have been. But, I can see this product turning a rapist into a murderer real quick. Still, I'd like to see some psycho with his junk chewed up. Hmmm....

I completely agree. It's a bold idea but I just don't see it having the desired affect in the long run...

Wow, I haven't read this story in months.

So in short, it will only be effective against stupid rapists. I've heard of prevention being better than cure, but I don't think this is it.

Yeah, that's true. I would be more scared of anal rape after that, but don't forget you have teeth, you wouldn't need it for your mouth, heh. But I think that if a man tried to rape said victim and got the thing stuck on him, he wouldn't be able to put it anywhere else.

I wouldn't mind having it around just in case I knew I was going to be walking down any scary parts of town alone..

I can see how it would make the person more violent though. I can also see why feminist groups would be angry for the reason that it just reminds women of the threat and scariness of it all.

so...i won't get raped, but i'll get my face bashed in and wind up in the hospital...worst case senario, i get beat to death - but i'll die rape free!

awesome!

here's to the skyrocketing of anal rape!

It does seem to get recycled every so often. Especially since the product debuted in 2005 and we all discussed it then...
