CNN: Can Condoms With ‘Teeth’ Fight Rape?
A white South African doctor has developed a new condom to fight rape that plagues African women, according to CNN.com.
Dr. Sonnet Ehlers invented the Rape aXe ‘condom with teeth’ 40 years after treating a rape victim who told her, “If only I had teeth down there.”
She said she consulted with “engineers, gynecologists and psychologists” to help make sure the design was safe and would not subject victims to HIV or other STDs.
Dr. Ehlers is distributing the female condoms in the various South African cities where the World Cup soccer games are taking place.
The woman inserts the latex condom like a tampon. Jagged rows of teeth-like hooks line its inside and attach on a man’s penis during penetration, Ehlers said.
Once it lodges, only a doctor can remove it — a procedure Ehlers hopes will be done with authorities on standby to make an arrest.
“It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it’s on,” she said. “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.” Read More…
South Africa has one of the highest rape rates in the world, according to Human Rights Watch. Critics call Dr. Ehlers’ device “medieval” and they say it causes psychological trauma and puts women at risk for more violence from the entrapped rapist.
But Dr. Ehlers counters those claims with words of wisdom:
“Yes, my device may be a medieval, but it’s for a medieval deed that has been around for decades,” she said. “I believe something’s got to be done … and this will make some men rethink before they assault a woman.”

Oh lawd!!!
I don’t know if this will save her life from being pummeled by a man who will do anything to break free…Castrate rapist
When and how is the rape victim supposed to insert this?
So confused…So a rapist is expected to apply a condom prior to RAPING his victim? Where’s the logic in this mess
But on a serious note, #TeamCondomWithTeeth
But………… Is this something you wear everyday??? Or just when you “think you might get raped”??
How long do you keep it in?? Do you use the same one??? Or do they come in a box like other condoms?? How do you put it in???? 
Soooo many questions…..
Okay just re-read the post….So the woman is supposed to walk around with a teeth condom everyday?
@Choco, I was thinking the same thing. It is either gonna have the rapist begging for the person to rape to help him get it off or it is gonna have him trying to kill her cause he is like you said “a man who will do anything to break free”.
@ Flo
Heyyyy…You saw the balls first huh?
At least she’s using the right size penis for demostration. I got a lot of questions about this post too

Heeeyyyy Free
Dare to be different. Interesting but sounds difficult at the same time.
O_O Okay….I have so many questions….hmmm….I think Flo covered them all
On another note…
“A white South African doctor” why couldn’t she just be “a South African doctor?”
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmk
Another questions……..If this condom is for a woman, why is it being demostrated on a penis and looks like a regular condom, nothing like the female comdoms I’ve seen.

WOW!!! I’m a lil confused too! So it will just slide right out the women or are they attached at the pelvis til the doc seperate them?

The condom is meant as a crime deterrent. It causes so much pain that I doubt a rapist will think about beating his victim. Unless he’s super human and can tolerate great pain.
@Rene, hey boo!!!!
You know Sandra always have to throw race in it. Im surprised she didnt say the doctor was gay

Another question: If the man goes on soft, would that help to set him free???
So…the female is supposed to just walk around all day, everyday with this thing inserted expecting to be raped? Cud-Lawd…South Africa is a fool…!

so is the soman supose to wear this 24/7??
Are women supposed to wear this condom 24/7? What about that time of the month? I understand the need to protect women from being raped but what about enacting laws to do that?
Is it re-useable?

i need furhter info on this condom with teeth give me a min
Cleary this wasn’t thought out logically.
Ok after reading the article and them stating :”Women take drastic measures to prevent rape in South Africa, Ehlers said, with some wearing extra tight biker shorts and others inserting razor blades wrapped in sponges in their private parts.”
The teeth condom pictured above seems like a good safe alternative. The largue issue is the amount of rape that happens and goes unprosecuted

Well yea, its def. safer then the razor blade wrapped in sponges
Its trully heartbreaking that these women have to go to these measures to keep from being raped though. 
i think the dr. had good intentions but so were do women get these condoms??? im pretty sure they dont have the money to buy them if they live in a village or something???? maybe pepper spray to carry with u or tazer would be better

That is SO sad.
Hey Flo!!!
Speaking of rape….Yesterday my complex had a fathers day cookout/pool party. My boo was gone to SC to see his dad so I was solo…this guy (who looks like Guerilla Black) would not leave me alone. Mind you, his significant other was there and as soon as she left he was hounding me.
GB: let me get your number
ME: No…I have a bf
GB: So…he won’t let you have friends?
ME: I’m not interested in friends…I have enough
GB: Well do you have friends that can drop a stack at Lennox for you?
ME: That’s not really a requirement for my friendship
GB: Well you should come get with a real baller
ME: No thanks *walks home*
Don’t you know this big dude followed me home? A few minutes after I got in my apartment there was a knock at my door…I thought it was my cousin cause she was on her way. This big motherflucker at my door talking bout “I just had to get to know you some more…I feel this connection with you.” I said if you don’t get your big azz off my doorstep right now…
The NERVE of this man! People are crazy!

@ TruGemini, that was gonna be my next scenario
Seriously though, during those middle of the nighters or early mornings, I dont usually wake up til stroke 3-4, by then he’ll already been trapped in the jaws of life :/ then
@ 42…you might need to have one of these d.ick chomping condoms on standby…
Regarding the medical personnel, is there special training on how to remove this condom? Are the paramedics removing this on site OR would the perp be transported to the hospital where someone would remove it there? Also, what kind of preventive measures are put into place to ensure the “teeth” aren’t penetrating the woman’s insides? Also, what this product tested? Approved by the FDA?
I go over to the beach sometimes on my lunch break, one day this man sent his lil boy over to talk to me, so eventually the man comes over. I guess he saw my name on my work badge and found me on facebook
PYSCHO!!!!!
@Renegade You should have told him (through the door) you felt the connection too, hold on a sec and called the police on his black azz……

@Vibaby…I didn’t even look through the peephole cause I just buzzed my cousin in the gate…I thought it was her
@Tru Gemini
Oh I got a few things better than a razor condom..
@ renegade
You should’ve called the police. No reason dude should be at your front door!!!!

Who’s more likely to use this. A potential rape victim or a vengeful woman?

The latter.
@Sandra
That is crazy still so the woman who never wanted this gross jerk in here now has to wait to get him off her until authorities and a dr is around it still sounds like more torture for the female…
The condom is soft so the women won’t be uncomfortable. The hooks are on the inside of the condom. Which will be a great deterrent against a rapist. HIV is rampant and there are thousands of girls and women being infected that way.
@Nika405 says:

This question was asked by a woman. LMAO

yeah right. only on a dildo will u find a pink d!ck that size, definitely not in real life.
Come on you guys. The condom stays inside the woman- I wud assume you would keep it on all day. Yes! its worth it. Secondly if the teeth are on the inside and a smooth outside….Why/how would it stay in the woman??? if the hooks on the inside, then it should hook to the penis. Natural reaction means he’s going to jump out. Why would the condom stick to the female- if the teeth are on the inside!!?
Rape is not a joke. Given such a high rate of rape in South Africa, could you all be surprised? Like another commentator stated earlier, it seems the doctor has good intentions. The least we could do is pray for those who endure rape amongst other horrors.
Well I don’t know about yall but if I had the option to either use this or potentially get raped and infected with who knows what, i’ll take the condom with teeth anyday! And i’m sure it doesn’t get stuck in the woman. That wouldn’t make sense.
I LOVE this idea!!!
South African women are raped repeatedly ona daily basis and something has to be done about it.
The thought of having a condom insode of me and ready to clamp down on a rapist penis give me hope that maybe someone is listening to the outcry in this country!!
There’s always going to be some perv that says “I like that biting chit”
Its a start so
to her for thinking of something because the amount of women raped and infected over there is truly sickening and often times its little girls and teens. Its not perfect but it is a start

i don’t know why this made me bust out laughing!!
the rim of it looks real flimsy so who’s to say that it will not shift when a sudden force of pressure is used? I mean I’m sure there is no such thing as a “gentle” rapist. When the offense is committed, its fast and swift so what if it gets all bunched up and pushed deep inside? Then what? but like others say…its a start
I think this is AMAZING. I pray it works!!!
When rape is a chiefly sexual offense, this device will be helpful, but when rape is just another means of violence against a woman this thing will only make things worse. Can’t the guy tell if she’s wearing it, what, you think he won’t spread her open and check? Insert a finger first? A few fingers? Torture her after he finds it or gets it stuck on him?
