Sex educators plan spray-on condom

BERLIN (Reuters) - German sex educators plan to launch a spray-on condom tailor-made for all sizes.


Jan Vinzenz Krause from the Institute for Condom Consultancy, a Singen-based practice that offers advice on condom use, told Reuters on Thursday the product aimed to help people enjoy better and safer sex lives.

"We're trying to develop the perfect condom for men that's suited to every size of penis," he said. "We're very serious."

Krause's team (spraykondom.de) is developing a type of spray can into which the man inserts his penis first. At the push of a button it is then coated in a rubber condom.

"It works by spraying on latex from nozzles on all sides," he said. "We call it the '360 degree procedure' -- once round and from top to bottom. It's a bit like a car wash."

Krause said the plan is to make the product ready for use in about five seconds. He said it would function more effectively as a contraceptive because it would fit better and not slip.

However, before the new condom can be sold in shops, the firm must ensure that the latex is evenly spread when sprayed, as well as optimise the vulcanisation process.

Krause hopes the high tech condom, which will be available in different strengths and colours, will on the market by 2008.

He said the spray can would likely cost some 20 euros (14 pounds) as a one-off purchase. The latex cartridges -- sufficient for up to 20 applications -- would cost roughly 10 euros, he said.

Krause said he had hit upon the idea when considering the difficulties some people faced using condoms, and drew inspiration from spray-on plasters now used in medicine.

HAHA, man what will they think of next.

I'm not so sure this is going to work for two reasons.
1) I'm thinking the removal might prove problematic
and
2) if it like is supposed to coat it evenly and everything, ummmmmm what about the tip, you know what i'm saying


But on the other hand it would solve the unable to open the package of all the George's of the world.

It cracks me up, that THIS is the kind of stuff that our world's "Brainiacs" are spending time, and money, on. There are things that are SOOOOOOOOOO much more important... like finding the cures to diseases, etc...

That said.... what happens, since it sprays the condom on, and it's to "fit better" will there will a tip area, for the sperm, to collect in? Or, will it burst?

that's what i was saying. I saw this and was like no way is that gonna work.

I guess that they will find out when the condoms 'explode' inside the person they are in, because they've reached max capacity, and then some, after climax has been reached.

I wouldn't use it... I mean, the base'd be okay, I reckon, but when you get to sensitive spots, I'm thinking spraying some crap on it that turns solid is pushing it, you know?
