SPRAY-ON CONDOMS READY FOR PRODUCTION

We live in an era of safe sex (at least if you choose to practice it). We also live in an era of high-tech fixes for low-tech problems. Voice-recognizing GPS devices; guitars that tune themselves; a force feedback suit for boxing -- all interesting but not totally necessary. Now, a fancy spray-on replacement for the venerable condom is nearly ready for production.

 

The condoms, invented by a German scientist, are applied with a special applicator. Men insert their assets, press a button, and an aerosol canister sprays on a fast-drying latex liquid. 25 seconds later, the condom is dry and ready for use. It is then rolled off and disposed afterward.

 

The spray-on condoms entered development nearly a year ago but were more conceptual back then. It was initially expected that the latex would dry in a second, but subsequent tests on real-life penises have shown this figure to be unrealistic. However, considering the amount of time it takes the average man to actually get a condom on in the dark (especially after a few drinks), 25 seconds doesn't sound so bad.

 

That said, while we're all for gadgets, we think this spray-on prophylactic has just too many shortcomings. The first is cost: The applicator will set you back around $35, with subsequent refills (providing 10-20 applications) costing about $10. Regular condoms cost about $6 for 12, or $25 for 100, so do the math. Then there's the size of the thing -- a rolled-up condom is about as portable as it gets, but the thermos-sized applicator will mean this thing is unlikely to venture out of the bedroom.

 

For that last minute Christmas gift?.......... :P

That's basically two steps away from Amy Wong's spray-on bikini.

Did I read this right - it involves placing valuable body parts inside working mechanical objects. What if there's a malfunction :fear:

I don't think anyone's wilbur would be getting anywhere near any gears and cogs.

Could this device also be used to preserve certain vegetables?

This is really incredible! I mean who imagined that one day we would have German scientists?
