Sonette Ehlers, of South Africa (the rape capital of the world), has invented an anti-rape device that goes by the name, Rapex, and now appears to be set for production. I would have voted for the South African Tickler, but maybe from a marketing standpoint, having the word ‘rape’ in the name of the device is better.
rapex condom
The device is basically a female condom with teeth lining the inside that work just like the protective spikes in a parking garage… You can go in, but whatever you do, don’t back out. The teeth are angled so they allow penetration, but bite like a shark as the penis is removed, supposedly causing so much pain that it will give the woman a chance to escape. Further, according to Ms. Ehlers, the device will need to be surgically removed at a hospital, which will lead to the capture of the rapist.
The rape condom is highly controversial and has been criticized more than it’s been praised. Rape survivor, journalist and activist, Charlene Smith, says she believes the device will increase the victim’s risk of being killed.
Although I agree with Charlene and have concerns that rapists that are not completely incapacitated by the device may become so enraged that they will kill their victims, I also wonder how many husbands and boyfriends will be admitted to hospitals because of women that forgot to remove the contraptions.
From now on, I suggest that men start using the Rapex Test and always insert two fingers prior to penile penetration. Explaining to your doctor why you have a condom with teeth attacked to your fingers might be embarrassing, but consider the alternative.
Note: If you are a rapist, please ignore the advice I’ve just given and follow this advice instead. Turn yourself in to the police if you have raped a woman, or make an appointment with a psychologist first thing tomorrow morning if you’ve been thinking about doing it, you sick fuck.
Rapex is scheduled to receive final approval next month and will be mass produced in China.
===================
Even with the potential drawbacks, I kinda like this method of rape defense.

soooo... whenever you go for a walk alone at night, you pop one of these in beforehand?
isn't there another way to do it that blocks penetration entirely?
this doesn't seem to be such a great idea, though i applaud the biodesign.

I'm not sure if that would really accomplish anything. Once the attacker knows whats happening, he would just stick his hand up there and yank it out...or beat you up a little.
At least with the teeth thing, they would be in so much pain that it would hopefully thwart the attack. I guess it all depends on how much this thing actually hurts.
Yipes. I wonder how they do testing on this sort of thing. That must be an...interesting lab.

The problem is if the girl forgets to remove it when she is with her bf, husband,etc...

heh, imagine what would be running through the mind of someone who'd never heard of these and got their dick caught in one.

so.......what's the lowest age group these things are going to be supplied to? I imagine there might be a (maybe even bigger) problem if there is a minimum age for girls to use these. Because than the rapists will only target younger girls.

Surely the bigger debate here is what kind of world have we descended into when the only protection that women have against rape is to insert a condom into their vagina that shreds the skin on the penis of the perpetrator?

*fixed
Imagine all the women that will go through getting revenge by using these on men who are even just suspected of cheating, or who piss them off in other ways.
when i took my law class at school, i remember people were found guilty and convicted for putting homemade boobie traps on their cars that shocked the criminal

does this also work in the butt?
These are both very valid points, and if this device becomes somewhat of a norm, it could very well lead to rapists attacking younger girls and/or sodomizing their victims.
Also, I'd like to know how much these cost and how potentially available to women of lower-income. Furthermore, even if a woman of low income could afford one, would they really be able to afford to go to a hospital to have it inserted and/or removed?
I applaud the people behind this for trying to circumvent rape and punishing the attackers in a "punishment fits the crime" method, but there's a lot of problems with this contraption that could possibly just alter a rapist's M.O. as opposed to preventing a rape.

hospital? i figured it was inserted by yourself, like a diaphragm?
i don't think these will become widespread enough for it to become an issue, like that it could change rapists behaviour so they target kids. who is really going to stop before they step out the door and insert this? if the likelihood of your being raped is THAT high, you have bigger problems
