OMG, the copy on the "RapeX" site:
5) What is your response to the few negative responses to RAPEX? (Question to Sonet Ehlers – inventor)
“As with everything in life there will be negative attitudes and I can't be responsible for people who refuse to educate men and feel the device is medieval”.
“A medieval device for a medieval deed”!
6) How was the device tested during its development?
The scientists and engineers created both a vagina and a penis on which prototypes were tested.
9) Does this mean I cannot have sex with my husband or partner?
Yes you can, but you will not wear it when you are with your husband or partner in bed, unless you are in a violent relationship and you do get raped by your husband or partner. The choice is then yours whether to wear it or not.
11) Can it by accident hook into my own skin?
Not if used according to the instructions.
12) Won't the rapist kill me?
Sadly, many women have been killed over time, as nobody can guarantee the outcome of any rape! However, the huge plus-factor is that the discomfort and pain is such, that the rapist would be disabled temporarily, (much worse than a kick in the crutch that self-defense instructors teach women!) giving you time to get away and get help.
14) Will it cause permanent damage to the rapist?
No, not if he gets professional help without delay.
22) Won't the man initially feel this?
When a rapist attacks, he looses control of his senses. He will become aware of the device when it is too late.
31) How did you get the idea? (Question to Sonet Ehlers – inventor)
From the rape-victim who first said “If only I had teeth down there”, and some time later a young man was admitted to hospital for getting his penis caught in his trouser zip and was in excruciating pain.
32) Will the rapist be attached or stuck to the woman?
No, not at all.
33) Can this be worn during masturbation?
No, not at all.
41) What happens if my child finds it in the waste paper basket and sticks his finger into it?
Once you remove the condom with the applicator, the hooks attach themselves to the applicator stick, and the condom is effectively sealed before it is discarded. As with all potentially dangerous items, it is your responsibility to discard it properly.
