Anti-rape condom unveiled

South African inventor Sonette Ehlers demonstrates her new anti-rape female condom in Cape Town.


A South African inventor has unveiled a new anti-rape female condom that hooks onto an attacker's penis and aims to cut one of the highest rates of sexual assault in the world.

"Nothing has ever been done to help a woman so that she does not get raped and I thought it was high time," Sonette Ehlers, 57, said of the "rapex", a device worn like a tampon that has sparked controversy in a country used to daily reports of violent crime.

Police statistics show more than 50,000 rapes are reported every year, while experts say the real figure could be four times that as they say most rapes of acquaintances or children are never reported.

Ehlers said the "rapex" hooks onto the rapist's skin, allowing the victim time to escape and helping to identify perpetrators.

"He will obviously be too preoccupied at this stage," she told reporters in Kleinmond, a small holiday village about 100 kilometres east of Cape Town. "I promise you he is going to be too sore. He will go straight to hospital."

The device, made of latex and held firm by shafts of sharp barbs, can only be removed from the man through surgery which will alert hospital staff, and ultimately, the police, she said.

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.

South Africa has more people with HIV/AIDS than any other country, with one in nine of its 45 million population infected.

Ehlers, who showed off a prototype on Wednesday, said women had tried it for comfort and it had been tested on a plastic male model but not yet on a live man. Production was planned to start next year.

But the "rapex" has raised fears amongst anti-rape activists that it could escalate violence against women.

"If a victim is wearing such a device it may enrage the attacker further and possibly result in more harm being caused," said Sam Waterhouse, advocacy co-ordinator for Rape Crisis.

Other critics say the condom is medieval and barbaric - an accusation Ehlers says should be directed rather at the act of rape.

"This is not about vengeance ... but the deed, that is what I hate," she said.


cool idea and all and i hope it really kicks ass for the intended purpose but.. :

I give it 3 months before some bitch gets back on her man for something by using one. :Oh crap

African countries badly needs that one. Sonette Ehlers deserves an award for this great in vention.

pretty interesting stuff....

hrmm.. This is NOT a new invention..

An excerpt from CNWS Newsletter (June, 2003):

"Sarah Nuttall (University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg) inserted the body in the discourse on trust. South Africa has a high rate of child rapes. To protect girls? bodies, chastity belts for babies and anti-rape condoms have been developed. There is a great demand for both products, which is an indication of the tendency to put trust in technology instead of in persons. Nuttall argued that trust is no longer a private matter; it has become a public good."

the whole problem is that no one believes in condoms in africa! you think this will help if no one uses condoms in the first place? not only that but money is another problem, no one can afford condoms. will they give it away? if so they should also give regular condoms away. rape is not the only way aids is spread. and yeah, you can guarentee there will be some crazy bitches in the rest of the world that will use it for revenge.

Nothing like having a dirty rapist bleed inside you!

Hah I fucking love it!

Wow thats pretty amazing, and much needed.

Yup, now the rapist will not rape her but beat the shit out of her after his penis got locked up in the condom thing.

I salute this woman for having invented something like that in order to protect women from all this harm.... :thumbsup

Just wait till some pissed off g/f find out she was cheated on... this could be a serious revenge tool!

Thats a great invention,now if they can make one that severes off their nuts at the same time

Interesting stuff... :o

gawd that looks painful. speaking as a female that has been raped before, I'm all for something to help protect us women but is this 'female condom' type thing supposed to be inside us at all times?? i couldnt imagine walkign around with a razor sharp item in my vagina. :Oh crap

this is something different.i hope it would be very much useful to women...

hmm, this is interesting

very cool invention but i see problems of abuse by women that want to get back on some one. hmmm

I see a few new opportunities

anal sex only
a rapex paysite emperium (reality sites)
a rapex detector
a rapex remove service
a rapex safe intrusion device
a rapex defender
a rapex search and destroy probe
a rapex support group
a rapex scar removal clinic


hmmm.....on to the drawing board
