High speed condom to fight Aids
It just takes three seconds to put on
A new method of using condoms has been developed in South Africa to help the fight against HIV/Aids.
An applicator has been developed to make the process of putting on the condom much faster and simpler.
...
As a life insurer, Metropolitan has an interest in helping people live longer he said, explaining why he had agreed to fund the project.
And Mr Murray also gave it his personal seal of approval.
"It was fun," he said.
"I'm an old married man. I need the novelty."
These new condoms cost $0.01 more than conventional condoms and take 3 - 4 seconds to put on. I think they may have a winner here, although not in encouraging more men to use condoms -- far too many men don't care how long it takes, they object to condoms for more "Macho" reasons like "condoms reduce my pleasure."
If these new condoms were available where youare, would you buy them or save a penny or two?
