i dont see it geting aproved in the states. i can see it being abused and false rape acusations. its a possability. though i think it would give current rape victums a sence of security against being raped again. and who knows some may prefer to die then be raped a first or second time. an interesting idea though it has its flaws.

Unfortunately I've read where an anti-RapeX device is already being deployed. Its called a finger and the rapist inserts it into the vagina checking for the RapeX. Damn those research scientists. For those rapists who don't have a finger they have adopted the new anti-RapeX strategy of raping their victim's ass.

RapeX - 2 years in the making? - I'm I the only one who thinks the whole idea sounds like so much BS and is a complete con.

Ummm did you not read any of the rest of the thread? What about the fact that the aggressor will be bleeding into his victim, possibly spreading deadly pathogens (e.g. HIV).

Or the fact that once again, this device is only another in the long line of "rape prevention" tactics that ultimately place the onus of "preventing" rape on the victim...



"Ummm" yes I read this ENTIRE thread, over the course of which 50 bazillion people said the exact same thing you just did, which can be rebutted by the fact that:

1. No one said or pretended that this device was intended to do anything about HIV. Whether or not the rape condom is there, if you get raped by someone with HIV, you might get it. You might also get hit by a falling piano or something, but the odds that someone is going to stay inside someone or hover around long enough to bleed into the vagina while they've got this foreign object on their dong are probably pretty slim.

2. No one said that this device is supposed to provide some sort of immunity against guns or other weapons. The fact that an attacker might carry a weapon is not related to whether or not the victim is wearing a condom.

3. No one said this device was supposed to put the "onus" on anyone else. How else would it work? If a third party watching the rape were wearing a rape condom, it wouldn't help, and you are certainly not going to convice a rapist to put one on a head of time. smile I don't get your point here at all.

Read my last paragraph again; I think you might have missed it.

I don't think any of your points actually rebut what I said.
First of all, you're right no one said that the condom was designed to protect against HIV, but the attacker bleeding into his victim certainly increases the possibility that a pathogen would be spread from attacker to victim. As for the attacker not "staying inside his victim" long enough for such an event to occur, I just don't understand what you are saying. Usually when I cut myself with a kitchen knife or other sharp object I begin to bleed pretty much instantly.

Secondly, yes no one said that the device would provide immunity to an attacker from guns or other weapons. But once again, chances are good that the attacker might more quickly resort to using such tactics after this device maims his "dong".

Finally, yes, no one else said that the device was placing the onus on anyone else. But that is the very problem with the device...that we are asking women to "defend" themselves against rape... thus if a woman isn't wearing one, we could all say "if only she were wearing the rape condom...this would all have been prevented". This is the same as "if only she weren't wearing that outfit, maybe that creep wouldn't have raped her". Just more blaming the victim.

And yes, I did read your last paragraph. And I agree that obviously this device would shorten the duration of the rape...but the fact of the matter is that the rape still occurred. As for giving the woman enough time to "get away", I'm not sure about you but usually when I'm having sex with someone I'm pretty much right next to them...you actually think this device will give someone enough time to "get away"?

Ultimately, I don't see how this thing will lessen the chance that rape will occur. Especially considering that most rape (at least in the US) is acquaintance rape and it is unlikely that a woman would be wearing such a device if she was out with a "friend".

That'd actually work alot better than RapeX at preventing the rape. For starters it doesn't require initial penetration before preventing the rape.

The only weird thing I can see happening with this is the fact that it can only be removed by a doctor, so what happened to the fast getaway after mangling a mans penis? Oh sorry dude, your gonna have to come with me to the hospital to get this removed, do you mind staying in my vagina for a couple more hours? Yeash ... uncomfortable! Well at least they won't get raped ... I guess ...

it can only be removed from the man by a doctor - it just comes out of the woman.

Great so now I have to add "vagina" to the list of things that must be checked for sharp objects before inserting my penis.

Right next to "payphone" and "candy from strangers."

I like the one YT had in SnowCrash that injected him with anesthesia and he passed out.
But she did accidently forget it was there and pass out a guy she wanted to fuck... oops.

I can't wait for the first case of a guy trying to remove it himself.
Owies.
The whole point that it may make the rapist bleed causing HIV, well, isn't that passed by mixing bodily fluids?
So, if he's sticking it up there, willy mangler or not, he's still going to be mixing some juices, right?
About it making a man more violent, tbh, that point is the perfect opportunity to get your ass out of there.
If someone has just realised their willy is stuck in something they're atleast going to give it a tug.
There was a point made that you'd have to be quite close to someone to be getting raped. Yes, but something slicing your willy is quite a shock, it's going to give a few second window at the least.
Unless the guy is hardcore, but I've not met many that wouldn't flinch at even the thought of some good old willy slicing.
And the point about women using it for wrong..
Well, it could be said about anything. We sell knifes, some people cut steak, others cut other people.
It's all down to the person, but we can't not offer certain things just because they can be mis-used.

But then they can just stick it on your gob.
Atleast with rapex, said tool is out of action.
