Anti-rape Female Condom


I´ve written about it before, but now it is here. right now it is given out to women in South Africa by the World Cup.

The Rape-aXe is condom with sharp fang like barbs that a women inserts into her vagina like a tampon. Upon an attempted vaginal rape, the Rape-aXe barbs would be triggered embedding into the rapists penis.

Once it lodges, only a doctor can remove it -- a procedure Dr. Sonnet Ehlers hopes will be done with authorities on standby to make an arrest.

"It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it's on, 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."

Ehlers said she sold her house and car to launch the project, and she planned to distribute 30,000 free devices under supervision during the World Cup period.

Dr. Sonnet Ehlers was inspired to create the Rape-aXe after treating rape victims while she with the South African Blood Transfusion Service.

South Africa has the highest rate of rape per capita in the world.

It is estimated that a woman born in South Africa has a greater chance of being raped than learning how to read. One in three of the 4,000 women questioned by the Community of Information, Empowerment and Transparency said they had been raped in the past year.

More than 25% of South African men questioned in a survey admitted to raping someone; of those, nearly half said they had raped more than one person, according to a new study conducted by the Medical Research Council (MRC).

Others say that such a device will only anger the rapist and could lead to even more violence towards the victim.

What is the possibility that the rapist would kill his victim?"

Regrettably, You are always at risk being killed by your assailant, Rape-aXe will buy you time to get away. Luckily rapists do have brains they loose it for a few moments, when their blood rush to a certain body part, after that he will realize that is tagged and he knows he will be in double trouble should he kill you.

Asked if the Rape-aXe was a medieval device, Dr. Sonnet Ehlers says it is a

"medieval device for a medieval deed."


What do you guys think about it?

Great idea, except for one thing. How extra mad will those guys get, and what concequence will that lead to for the woman? What if the rape is the attacker's 'soft choice', second to MURDER - and that that special condom will push them over the edge?

Also... once rapists starts to experience that 'problem', they will continue raping women, only that they firstly will stick all kinds of 'test gadgets' up there, before they do it - which means probably more pain for all women who gets raped.

So in what way is it really a smart thing overall? Who came up with that? Did they not really think it through?

What is needed is more of a pro-active role on the part of society, preventing men from ever falling so much emotionally that they will at all consider doing harm on ANYONE.

It is Dr/ Ehlers Sonnet, as it says in the article. About the rage of the raper it also gives you an answer, that this time you get when the raper is hurt is to get away, but of course as you say there is always a risk.

If it is a good thing or not, I think will show in a soon future :)
