Insert Killer Condoms movie joke here.

What makes this really depressing is the notion that a women has to think about arming herself with this at all, ever. :(

It doesn't sound like the safest thing in the world. A rapist who finds a booby-trapped vadge might turn into a murderer in a hurry.

I think the idea is, the pain would take everything else out of his mind.

Meanwhile, in Lithuania, an elderly woman foiled robbers by testicle-grabbing.

This depresses me for a completely different reason.

There are so many depressing things about this, it's hard to pick one.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 20:54 (twenty years ago)

i don't even know what to think about this.

Dude, SNOW CRASH did this years ago. Better, as a matter of fact, because it supposed an injection of knock-out drug to incapacitate. Which is STILL depressing because it doesn't take affect until AFTER penetration which a) seems like quite a bit of trauma although fair enough not as much as the full assault, and b) still exposes the vic to disease and preg (although risk may be lowered).

It also reduces the chances of a woman falling pregnant or contracting AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases from the attacker by acting in the same way as a female condom.

b-b-but her vadge might get covered in the guy's blood!

A better method would perhaps be to use an empty cigar tube filled with bees.

I think this is misguided, particularly because of the anger factor.

― Jaq (Jaq), Wednesday, 14 September 2005 22:24 (twenty years ago)

please correct me if I'm missing the obvious, but isn't there already an anger factor involved if RAPE is being committed? Having some miniature iron-maiden-mousetrap-for-raper's-dick isn't generally going to raise that anger level of the criminal to a more dangerous point if he's already being dangerous to begin with!

― donut Get Behind Me Carbon Dioxide (donut), Thursday, 15 September 2005 00:23 (twenty years ago)

Again, the idea that this type of thing was proposed, and it actually seems like a good idea (at least initially) is just a really sad testimonial here.

b-b-but her vadge might get covered in the guy's blood!

I've never been a rape victim, but without protection, disease will most certainly be transmitted if the rapist has any, and I doubt rapists bother with condoms... I'd also assume the barbs are INSIDE the condom, which I'd hope would prevent a lot of the result blood from seaping out. Not risk free, but certainly less risk than not being protected at all.

― donut Get Behind Me Carbon Dioxide (donut), Thursday, 15 September 2005 00:28 (twenty years ago)

My only confusion here is: what are you meant to do, wear this thing all the time? I mean who knows when/if they'd be raped? COuld the guy not reach in and try and pull it out, once knowledge of it existing became public?

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 15 September 2005 00:31 (twenty years ago)

yeah, I (tried to) address that "who knows when" issue above. Really saddening. As for the "what do you have in there?" issue.. god, I can't put myself in the position or mindset of a criminal in this type of crime... this thing boggles me the more I think about it.

― donut Get Behind Me Carbon Dioxide (donut), Thursday, 15 September 2005 00:39 (twenty years ago)

Dangerous and dumb, in my opinion. Imagine the mishaps, I mean Jesus, the woman is being raped, let's put BLADES INSIDE HER AND FILL HER WITH BLOOD.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 15 September 2005 01:38 (twenty years ago)

"Sorry honey, I forgot to take it out when I got home!"
"SORRY DON'T FIX MY WANG!"

By anger factor I mean - you are being raped at knifepoint or gunpoint and suddenly the guy realizes he's in tremendous pain and marked and so you are immediately dead because even if he's hurting, he's mad and that can override the panic response of pain. I don't know that rapists are all angry as a rule. I unfortunately know of a man who stalked and raped several women - he wasn't angry, but he felt entitled to do what he did.

The other thing - rape can be carried out with inanimate objects and anally and if someone suspects or anticipates a device like this, the situation could be physically much worse for the victim.

There seems to be an assumption that large metal pieces would have to be involved - you can make a barbed thread of fiberglass or thermoset plastic that would be fine and fairly unnoticed, even once the barb sets. Have you ever seen a cholla cactus? They are covered with a woolly fluff that looks harmless, until you touch it. My sister got into one and didn't realize what was up until a few weeks later when the spines worked their way through the back of her hand.

Discussed a bit here, of all places: Pelvic Floor Exercises (kegels) C or D

I will never get tired of "these nut-case devices"...

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Thursday, 15 September 2005 02:37 (twenty years ago)

wasnt there a thread about this about a year ago?

― t0dd swiss (immobilisme), Thursday, 15 September 2005 02:37 (twenty years ago)

Well damn, I searched, but only for anti-rape. Either way, it's a bad idea. But yes, kegels are a good thing.

― Jaq (Jaq), Thursday, 15 September 2005 02:44 (twenty years ago)

wait, can't you just pull it out first and then rape the woman?

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 15 September 2005 07:02 (twenty years ago)

haha "pull it out".

i mean like, remove the thing from the vadge, and then insert penis?

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 15 September 2005 07:02 (twenty years ago)

Well yeah thats what I thought. Mind you, having to even think this way is revolting :(

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 15 September 2005 07:07 (twenty years ago)

i can't help wanting to know what this bizarre contraption looks like.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Thursday, 15 September 2005 07:15 (twenty years ago)

really, really don't want to read that article. wouldn't it be better to carry a defensive weapon? it sounds a bit 'after the horse has bolted'.

― N_RQ (Enrique), Thursday, 15 September 2005 07:19 (twenty years ago)

OK that gave me horse wang visuals I did not need :( :(

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 15 September 2005 07:22 (twenty years ago)

really, really don't want to read that article. wouldn't it be better to carry a defensive weapon? it sounds a bit 'after the horse has bolted'.

I was thinking the same. But then I have never been in that situation. Maybe I'd be too emotional to have the time to react. :-(

― nathalie (stevie nixed), Thursday, 15 September 2005 07:39 (twenty years ago)

Besides the inherent danger of disease and violence, what about vengeful women using it on unsuspecting partners for whatever reason, like maybe their boyfriends cheated on them? Might open up the possibility of men being wrongly accused of being rapists once they report having their, um... injury.

― Roz (Roz), Thursday, 15 September 2005 08:13 (twenty years ago)

delete that last "having", please.
