THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO OUCH!

No, this is not a regular condom! Nor is it a sex toy, you sickos! This is actually a prototype for an anti-rape female condom, which was unveiled back in 2005 by Sonnet Ehlers, a former medical technician in South Africa (the rape capital of the world). 

The device, which was originally called RapeX, was basically a female condom with teeth lining the inside that work just like the protective spikes in a garage. I'm literally squirming in my chair as I write this. In other words, you're more than welcome to 'enter', but you're not going to want to back out. If you do, I actually don't want to think about what would happen when you back out. The teeth in the condom are angled so that 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. Miss Ehlers went on to say that the device will need to be surgically removed at a hospital, which will lead to the capture of the rapist. I think this invention is absolutely brilliant! The fact that you see at least three or four rape stories in the news almost every single day goes to show that this device is needed here in America as well. Unfortunately, due to a conflict with the European Union's warning system with a similar name, RapeX had to become Rape-aXe. 

Now, that was unveiled in 2005. This is 2013! Why isn't this product out on the market yet? I bet that if you just showed any rapist just a photo of this device, they would be giving rape a second thought. Rape-aXe looks painful. Ehlers described her creation as sort of a tampon that protects you from being raped. She said that you insert it like a tampon and in the occurrence of a rape, the Rape-aXe hooks onto the rapist's foreskin, allowing the victim time to escape. The device is made of latex and held firm by shafts of sharp barbs that can only be removed from through surgery, which will alert hospital staff and ultimately, the police. Ehlers said that once the Rape-aXe lodges on, only a doctor can remove it. It will hurt so bad that the perpetrator won't be able to pee or walk when it's on. If he tries to remove it, it will clasp even tighter, however, it doesn't break the skin, and there's no danger of fluid exposure. 

Another benefit of this anti-rape device is that it would reduce the risks of a woman falling pregnant, contracting AIDS or any other sexually transmitted diseases from the attacker by acting in the same way as a condom. Ehlers said that she showed the prototype off to women, who tried it on for comfort, but it hadn't been tested on a live man yet. They've tried it on a plastic male model and that's been it. I would test it on a rape convict in prison. They want to rape so badly, let them have a go at it. 

I think this product sounds great and would love to see it here in the U.S. Here's the problem, though; what happens when rapists catch onto this and instead of penetrating down there, they force women to give them oral with a gun to their heads. Rape-aXe won't be able to stop that. Just saying!
