    Default Anti-rape condom unveiled.

    A South African inventor has unveiled a new anti-rape female condom that hooks onto an attacker's penis and aims to cut one of the highest rates of sexual assault in the world.
    "Nothing has ever been done to help a woman so that she does not get raped and I thought it was high time," Sonette Ehlers, 57, said of the "rapex", a device worn like a tampon that has sparked controversy in a country used to daily reports of violent crime.

    Police statistics show more than 50,000 rapes are reported every year, while experts say the real figure could be four times that as they say most rapes of acquaintances or children are never reported.

    Ehlers said the "rapex" hooks onto the rapist's skin, allowing the victim time to escape and helping to identify perpetrators.

    "He will obviously be too preoccupied at this stage," she told reporters in Kleinmond, a small holiday village about 100 kilometres east of Cape Town. "I promise you he is going to be too sore. He will go straight to hospital."

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

    I think that's a great idea.

    But...couldn't guys just pull the condom out first? I've never used a female condom, so I don't know how visible it would be to the attacker.

    I'd hide a bear trap in my pussy if I could. There's urban legands of Vietnamese prostitutes during the war would put razor blades in their vaginas and kill the men. I wonder if I could fashion my own anti-rape condom with a razor blade and a shot glass...

    All this might do is just increase the occurrences of getting anally raped.

    I see the need for it, since rape is endemic in SA, but this may not be the best way to fix the situation.

    probably kinks to be worked out, but a fantastic idea. african women need something to protect them. i saw on oprah. i think the baby girl was 4 months old at the time. she was raped by a grown man. did sooooo much damage. women and children in other counties are treated like animals. worse than animals.

    oh yeah, after i saw kanye west's video "diamonds are forever" on mtv a while back, i looked up sierra leone on google. found out alot about that mess. did anybody else know about that? i never heard of it in the news. they say the media doesn't like to report on etrocity's. but i think it's important to know what's going on.

    In Africa, the rape epidemic is heavily due to AIDS. They say that raping a virgin is the cure for AIDS (how do you know if she's a virgin? If she's a baby), which is the most bass-ackwards concept ever.
