When I saw this my only thoughts were What. The. F**k?! Why, why was this permitted to be patented?
For those unfamiliar with the Rapex, it is an “anti-rape condom”. Basically, it’s a condom worn inside of you with barbs that, should any man put his hoo ha where it is not welcome, it will be stuck with barbs removable only by a doctor.
Naturally, this raises a few questions, many of which can be answered by the website’s extremely helpful FAQ section.
The first question, of course: “When should I wear the Rapex?”
According to the website I should wear it when I: “travel long distances alone, on a train, working late, going out on a date with someone you don’t know too well, going to clubs, or in any situation that you might not feel comfortable or even just not sure.” So I guess I should just be practicing constant vigilance? At no point in my day should I forget that I– as the owner of a vagina–am always susceptible to rape, and this device will always allow me to have it in the back of my mind!
Secondly, how does this change my relationship with, ya know, the other half of the human race? Well, I know I don’t have to worry about my boyfriend being hooked, “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. ” Whew! Thank you Rapex, for giving me that option!
So I guess I’m pretty much covered Rapex, thanks to your innovative thinking, and also thanks to answers based on questions like these: “What happens if my child finds it in the waste paper basket and sticks his finger into it?”, “Can this be worn during masturbation?”, and “What if I am asleep and someone enters my house and tries to rape me?”
I mean, they pretty much all have the same gist: wear our product 24-7 not out of fear but out of responsibility and a safeguard against the inherent viciousness of all men.
The only questions that really occurred to me that weren’t addressed on your site I’ll just post here and possibly you could get back to me on them?
Just how many light years does this set us back as far as the whole feminist movement thingey majig? I mean, I totally understand why we should revert to the dark ages and all women should live in constant fear of all men, and we’re all potential rape victims…but exactly, how many years (approx) are we exactly going back?
Another thing I came to ponder, was what inspired this brilliant stroke of genius? I know you don’t hate men (”just rape!”–a novel opinion, let me just say), but it seems sort of insulting to blanket-assume pretty much every Tom, Dick and Harry we pass by on the street is probably going to drag us into an alleyway and have their way with us (obviously to be prevented by your device, though.) I guess it’s no more insulting though, than helping us girls adapt to rape.
Yesterday, as I read One D At a Time, I couldn’t help but agree with the blogger’s thoughts on feminist vs feminist hateration. And her discussion of Camille Paglia’s theories on Date Rape as a new method of fear mongering couldn’t apply to anything more than they do to this. Look, I understand that rape is a real threat to all of us. But by insisting that we must assume responsibility “Simply because your body is sacred and it is your legal and moral right to be safe. Nobody can make you safe except you. You do not have to secure your home, equally you do not have to secure your body, however it is better if you do so,” you reiterate society’s subconscious implications that, in the end, it’s our fault we get raped.
Thoughts on these ideas, ladies? On Rapex itself?

I understand where you’re coming from, but I can’t say I agree. I think that while this is something that will probably just get misused, the idea is a good one. The thing is, even if we as women are fighting for equal rights and all that, that doesn’t mean men have to listen. Just because we feel we shouldn’t have to live in fear of rape doesn’t mean we’re not going to be attacked. I’d rather have one of these little devices handy, but that’s just my opinion.
I was also going to add to my last post that I find it kind of ironic that people have described this device as “vengeful, horrible, and disgusting” but isn’t that what rape itself is too? Just a thought.
I agree with you, women shouldn’t have to wear this thing to keep from being raped, but if you read The First Post article you cite, the reasoning behind the device makes more sense. It was developed by a woman in Africa, where rape is often used as warfare. Again, I’m not saying it should be used, but the situation is a bit different over there than here.
Wow… haha
yeah i had to chime in with cath, i’m not sure how intentionally this is marketed toward countries like the US. it’s more or less to protect the women who have become victims of rape as warcrimes that have been happening in africa. i wish they had this in the 90s during the massive raping in the counties of ex-yugoslavia, those pompous war ‘heroes’ wouldn’t be so proud with bite marks on their peens.
This is interesting, and kind of funny. While I think it’s great that something like this was invented to help women in countries where rape is more prominent. The problem that I have with this product is it could give rapists an excuse-”She wasn’t wearing her Rapex, so it’s not my fault” sort of thing. I’d rather stick to my pepper spray.
I can’t say I’m against it.. and I don’t see anything wrong with it either.
I dont think it sets women back….rape happens, and its just silly to think that because we’re not afraid of it it isnt going to happen. While maybe feeling like you need to wear it out of fear is probably not good, wearing it as a precaution I think would be cool (If not uncomfortable??) Just imagine the look on that guys face when he gave that one a shot…eff, I bet he wouldn’t try that again. And I’m pretty sure it would help keep rapists off the street because they’d have to go the hospital…where the doctor would be able to tell what happened, etc. So I think it’s a good thing.
My only problem with this is that I can’t imagine it wouldn’t result in the rapist just beating the shit out of the user in retaliation.
Did anyone see the movie Teeth? It’s about this girl that has like fangs in her vagina that bite off a guy’s penis if he tries to rape her… this so reminds me of that
I don’t think this should be an issue of feminism. It’s not setting us back, it’s not making it out that rape is “our fault”, it’s not making us “live in fear” or any of the other arguments you made. It’s the best someone could come up with to prevent a horrible situation. It’s not the greatest idea, but at least it’s an idea. It’s a step in the right direction. This thing is more helpful then it is hurtful (to non rapists that is). Rape is never going to stop being an issue, so instead of trying to fight it by pretending it doesn’t exist (because that is just ignorant), we might as well actually do something to try and prevent it.
And this may actually work, if guys know their’s a chance they can get their dick caught in barbs then maybe, just maybe, it will stop them from raping someone.
Star I agree with you 100%
I have to agree with Cecca. If a guy’s trying to rape you, he’s not going to pleased if he gets a penis full of barbs. He’s going to be pissed, and it’s very likely he’ll harm you in some other way.
this is interesting. i mean i could understand why women would want to use it. i dont think its anti-feminist to take measures to protect yourself though. really this is no different than buying something else like pepper spray (except its much more drastic).
but i wonder… is it safe for the woman? i mean i think this thing is really cool, for all the people saying use it in africa, i mean hello, one in four women is raped over here! but id just worry that if i were to insert this i would be the one barbed due to a product malfunction. maybe i just dont trust corporations… i dont even like those tampons, so the chance of me putting this thing in me is slim.
id also worry that if i were wearing something like this and a guy raped me, like what if he got so pissed he killed me then. this might be far-fetched but i was wondering heh.
During my freshman orientation of college, we had to attend a rape seminar. One statistic that was flashed was particularly startling “35% of men admit they would commit rape if they thought they could get away with it.”
Now, I don’t put much stock in statistics, but still. I don’t think this is the worst idea in the world, and if you know you are going to be out late one night and might end up heading home alone and drunk, it might not be the worst idea in the world to have one of these things in. True, the guy might get pissed and beat you, but I think a guy might actually be in such immediate physical pain that he turns away from you at first. And if his dick was bleeding and then you kicked him in the balls? He might pass out from pain and you can run off, scott free, or at least have time to hide and call the police.
Seriously? I think if that happens to a guy, he’ll most likely be scared shitless and run away…
I have to wonder about this… if a person can break into your house and sue you for them getting hurt, and win — could the same sort of thing happen in this case? A man goes to rape you, gets his johnson all cut up from Rapex and then he sues you for bodily harm… it doesn’t sound all that outlandish what with how sue-happy people are these days.
i find it kinda funny that i would be the first guy 2 respond 2 this, but i have 2 say that while this may be a great product in africa or other 3rd world countries, the idea of it bing legal in america is ridiculous. my first thought on the subject is how a girl would b able 2 use this thing as a weapon. Now, ladies, i love u all but from time 2 time u tend 2 get a little crazy, r all of u saying that if some dude ever dumped u or broke ur heart, it wouldn’t cross ur mind 2 stick one of these babies in and get back at all of us “evil” men? And for all of u that were debating the idea of what would happen when a guy is caught in this, i would kick the shit out of any girl that sticks barbs into my dick, and i would assume that goes doubly for any1 depraved enough 2 rape someone.
Hope that helps ^^
Amanda-That’s a very good point. I’m sure it would be easy to sue, Especially since rape cases can still be hard to win because the defense attorneys for suspected rapists usually use the “victim is a drunk slut” defense. However, as a law enforcement major, I also think it would be hard for a guy to actually win that lawsuit. Since the rapex is inside the body, it would be very unbelievable that the guy would be a victim. It’s not like he can use the whole “oh I was just an innocent victim who put my penis forcefully into this nonconsenting woman and I ended up injured” defense. But you never know, the courts can be shocking sometimes : )
Chris-That post was completely idiotic. The whole kicking the shit out of the girl (which was disgusting by the way), saying girls are vengeful, think all men are evil and that we get a little crazy was way uncalled for. You need some major education or should catch up with the times. It’s not cool to stereotype people like that-black, white, islamic, women or men.
@ Chris
While I’d like to think no woman is vengeful enough to use this in a retaliatory manner, I know any decent defense attorney would take that idea and run with it.
I aggree with you, I’m against normal women wearing this..contraption. But it would be interesting if everyone did wear it…it would make men fear women. make them fear the possibility that she is wearing a Rapex. maybe it would even lessen the occurances of rape.
But really, i am heaps against girls wearing that unless it is in a country which requires it.
i think the dude would be in so much pain with the fangs in his peen and all, that he would be a bit debilitated to ‘beat the shit’ out of the victim. while we’re trying to empower women (saying this device sets us back)- who’s to say that in that moment of weakness the victim doesn’t have the chance to ‘beat the shit’ out of the attacker? at least i would. oh i would SO play handball with that mofo’s face/nuts.
also something i just thought of… what if he’s not going for vaginal rape. what about sodomy? i mean it’s very common- so it’s not an end all solution by any means.
ps chris in your case the woman getting back at you should not only ‘barb your dick’ …she should castrate you for being the degenerate you are. for a girl to ‘get back’ at some dude…it would mean that the IDIOT would have to go and have SEX with that vengeful girl…so he put himself in dangerous waters. DUH. if you think she’s ‘crazy’ don’t go sticking her with your ‘dick’. dick.
and as for ‘kicking the shit’ out a girl- bravo! you are so macho. i hope our paths never cross for the sake of me putting my muay thai foot in your mouth.
Ela, you do realize that you prove Chris’s point by talking all that trash about him being macho? ever heard of adrenaline hun? How would you react if a guy had razor blades on his penis? I think he would have every right 2 beat up the girl with it on if the sex was consensual, he cant defend himself because that would make him macho? hop off your high horse you feminist bitch
If the sex was consensual, Jenny, then the girl probably wouldn’t be wearing a Rapex in the first place.
ohh, right because you should totally wait till you are about to get raped to put it in. “oh, dont rape me yet, let me put teeth in my vagina” think about it for more than two seconds coco
I totally understand CHris’ point though.
I think he means the crazy girls who are seriously pissed at their boyfriends or maybe their husband who they think has been cheating on them or something, so they get home, plan it out, act like everything’s cool, get him naked and then BAM!
“Barb-Dick!”
ha I just created that turn-of-phrase.
Write that down.
I just think the whole idea’s kinda scary… But definitely understand its use in Africa.
oh wow jenny like U 2 should like totally hook up! did he call U 2 come here 2 defend him because U 2 R like totally 1337. LOL.
my statement isn’t even feminist you twat. if chris had presented his comment in a more mature manner than ‘i’d kick the shit out of a girl bla bla’ and talking about ‘psycho bitches’ than i’m sure i, along with others in this commentary section,would have reacted differently. (perhaps saying ‘defend myself’ or ‘react violently’)
like U 2 should read bookz!
another thought: if you’re sticking your dick in with out any sort of genital foreplay- not noticing the barbed vagina would be really hard wouldn’t it? HENCE THE REASON IT’S USED FOR FORCED RAPE!!!! there’s no foreplay in rape! if your psycho bitch ex/gf turned the barbed vag onto your dick than you’re an idiot for being bad with investigation. lesson to be learned; be weary of psycho bitches!
***correction: if you’re NOT just sticking your dick in with out any sort of genital foreplay- not noticing the barbed vagina would be really hard wouldn’t it?
I would wear it if I was cheated on. Because the spikes in his penis would be his punishment.
From the “adapt to rape” article: “It is a terrifying thought that women are being made to adapt to rape.”
I agree with this almost entirely. It is completely horrifying that women are *finding ways* to adapt to rape. But I disagree that anyone is being MADE to do anything. I see this as a step forward for African women especially. Would anyone call taking a self-defense class a setback for feminism?
But the fact that it is so prevalent that this is even an issue… that’s what’s “vengeful, horrible, and disgusting.”
Thank you to those of you who’ve brought relevant arguments to the discussion. Some of the questions raised are actually posted on Rapex’s official site under FAQ…the company’s responses are interesting to say the least.
I was aware while writing this (having read the entire promo site for Rapex and a few of the articles calling it anti-feminist) that its original use was for the protection of women in countries where rape is prevalent. I still question its ethics, no matter where on the globe it is used (although I do realize that there are cultures where, sadly, rape IS something that every woman must be vigilant about avoiding all.day.long.
What do you guys think are better solutions? There has to be something more effective and humane (not that I’m condoning rapists as humane) that these women can use to protect themselves, right?
like i said…rapex excludes other forms of rape, sodomy… etc. so while this is an idea, i think there could be better solutions in the future. however, it’s hard to say with rape being a physical variant of violence that you can’t measure. people are different and no rape is the same so how do you even begin to come up with a concept?! toughie.
I don’t think this is a bad idea. It does seem kind of like a hassle though. I’m not sure if many women would always think to put it in before it’s too late. But it could be very helpful. If you cannot protect yourself and things go as far as rape, then this is the last defense you may have. Some people have said that women should wear these if you are “from a country which requires it.” Rape is a HUGE issue in the US. What makes you think we don’t require it here??
Wasn’t this pioneered in South Africa? They have a serious problem with rape over there. Well, obviously we have a serious problem over here too, as if women are getting raped at all, that’s a serious problem, but in South Africa you can pretty much assume you’ll be raped at one point or another so while it is kind of anti-feminist and accepts that rape will inevitably happen, it is kind of necessary. Unfortunately. Sad world
It’s sad that women have to use a device like this to guard their body from rape. Unfortunately, in countries where women’s rights (or even human rights) do not protect their citizens from crimes (such as those in Darfur… rape used as a weapon to scare people into doing what the other side wants)a device like this is needed.
A device like this could help protect women on some level and empower them to do something about rape in situations where there is little help from others.
I applaud the people who invented this. I’m sure they’ll help many women who live in fear every day, scared that they’ll be raped.
Ok - I am a guy. What prevents some bitter ex-girlfriend, who is justifiably pissed off at me for making out with her roommate on a drunken Friday night, from putting this inside of her - so that when we have sex I get “the justice I deserve!”
I have no doubt that SOMEWHERE in the world, this has its place and is useful to many poor women who have no other way of defense; but there are MANY vindictive/crazy people in the “civilized” world who would use this to victimize men who may have intentionally or unintentionally done them wrong?
This just appears slightly extreme.
I completely and inequivocally agree with you.
“Look, I understand that rape is a real threat to all of us. But by insisting that we must assume responsibility “Simply because your body is sacred and it is your legal and moral right to be safe. Nobody can make you safe except you. You do not have to secure your home, equally you do not have to secure your body, however it is better if you do so,” you reiterate society’s subconscious implications that, in the end, it’s our fault we get raped.”
Couldn’t have put it better myself.
Thanks for the comments.
I must say that I don’t really think it is all that useful…
As a guy, I would get pretty upset if something happened to my parts.
For a woman, I understand the need to protect yourself.
But now that word is out about these things, nothing stops a rapist from “manually” checking for the presence of this first.
But she will be raped by the Rapex when she wears it right? Is wearing it different from taking cock of a man?
One more thing; how do you get it out? Even if you put a dildo/vibrator up there for it to latch on to, you wouldn’t be able to use it again as you wouldn’t be able to remove it from the dildo. Anyone know?
Ok - I am a guy. What prevents some bitter ex-girlfriend, who is justifiably pissed off at me for making out with her roommate on a drunken Friday night, from putting this inside of her - so that when we have sex I get “the justice I deserve!”
Ok, sure-there are psychos everywhere. Most sane women aren’t going to do this.If a woman is malicious enough to use Rapex as a method of revenge, then she would also be crazy enough to use guns, knives, etc., whatever. Women who wouldn’t resort to those methods would probably not resort to using a Rapex for those means. If you are going to ban one weapon on those grounds you better damn well ban all of them.
if I recall right, I think it was created for women in third world countries where safety is more of a daily concern.
Nick, that was just plain stupid. You’re not being raped if you’re willingly putting something inside you. No one is forcing this condom inside a woman and YES, it is entirely different than another human violating an unwilling woman. Ugh your comment disgusts me!
and for all the guys that are going to be upset if anything happens to his “parts”, Don’t rape anyone! then your “parts” will be safe! Duh! and if you’re worrying about vengeful girlfriends don’t be a scumbag boyfriend.
By that rationale should “scumbag” girlfriends have their genitals gratuitously maimed by their scorned boyfriends “modified” barbed condom.
Believe me, there are many mentally unstable women AND men in the U.S. and other industrialized countries who would use device such as the Rapex in vain without the slightest hesitation. ala Lorena Bobbitts.
no that’s not what I was saying. Everyone should be aware that there are crazy people out there, if you don’t want to be injured by your boyfriend/girlfriend then don’t do something that’s going to spark that unstableness. Not saying it’s right to injure someone for being a scumbag (guy or girl) but it happens and if you don’t want it to happen to you then think before you act like an ass.
To Casey:
Are you sure that woman are willing to put it inside them? They do it because they are scared by rapist. In stead of taking cock of the rapist they have to put Rapex inside them. It’s not a willing action. They are forced indirectly by rapist right?. And they will be obsessed by the image of rapist when wearing it. It is the reason why I say: they are still raped, physically as well as mentally.
and I still say that’s stupid. If they put it inside them then they are willing. No one is forcing them to use the Rapex, if they’re uncomfortable using it then they don’t have to. But if they are being attacked by a rapist they have absolutely no choice in that matter whether it makes them uncomfortable or not. Women shouldn’t be afraid of protecting their bodies, just because they’re wearing one doesn’t mean they are going to be raped, and I’d be a lot less scared of a rapist if I was wearing one of these walking down a dark alley in the middle of the night then if I wasn’t wearing one.
But women are not being forced to use these, if you’re uncomfortable with them, duh! don’t use them! If they use them anyways and feel “raped” by it, then maybe they should seek some professional help, cause then there’s a bit more going on there.
Casey, It is your choice. The good point is it make you feel better. Instead of wearing it, you can just put your gun in your bag. One more easier way, when walking down a dark alley in the middle of the night, you can call me. I will go with you and protect you. LOL
dont put yourself in a situation where you might get raped. its as simple as that.
if your in college, for example, call security or someone else you trust and have him/her walk you to your destination.
Looking for college guys in or near Bowling Green, Ohio
Guy here! I think it is is awesome. And for the question that most guys think of “what if my girl friend wants revenge after I get drunk and make out with another girl”- you never should have boinked another chick for one and you should be aware of what might happened when or better yet DON’T CHEAT! - On another note! would not want to hear of anymore rape cases ever, but the results of this device in action would be interesting to hear about. and if it actually made a decline in the number of cases enough to make scum think twice about attacking a woman.
I’m a guy and I can’t believe that I’m the only guy who thinks this is an awesome invention. I just wanted to reply to the concern that it may cause a guy to harm the woman (to a greater extent). While I have no idea what emotional state a man would have to be in to rape a woman in the first place, I would think that that type of person is going to be one who is very focused on their own immediate needs and if he were expecting pleasure and control and suddenly found his “pride” impailed, as angry as he might me, I’m pretty sure that both his hands are going to be busy trying to “free Willy”. Men are problem solvers and don’t like sharp objects poking their junk, I think it would be much like having a bee stuck in your hair (male or female). It’s the kind of thing that takes immediate pressidence over everthing else and would hopefully give the woman time to get away, or prferably, get to her gun. Added bonus, it gets the SOB off the street, or at least forces him to attempt surgery on himself.
Sorry Berrian A HobbyIV, I didn’t read to the bottom before I posted glad to hear another guy feels the same way.
In response to the “don’t put yourself in places you might get raped” that’s a bit ridiculous. You’d have to avoid every place possible. Someone could break into your home while you’re sleeping so avoid your bed, or perhaps your boyfriend turns out to be not such a nice guy after all and you have to avoid relationships…you get my point? Strangers don’t just jump out of bushes. Sometimes you’re in the safest place possible with your best friend.
I think anyone who puts what is essentially an untested medical device inside of their body needs to think again. On the practical side there is no record of rapex ever being successful in its intended purpose. In particular the claim that a potential rapist won’t notice it because “When a rapist attacks, he looses control of his senses.” sounds particularly ridiculous.
But even if the claims were true, there it still doesn’t stop a woman’s body being abused in other ways and judging by the experience of women who are raped a woman is likely to be abused in these ways during a rape before a rapist would encounter the rapex device. How could that possibly make any woman wearing one feel ‘confident’?
Neither does it deter rapists. If any rapists started to commonly think a woman might be wearing one, they would just rape her in those other ways.
There’s one problem with this that no one has brought up: what about HIV infection, especially since this device is being marketed in Africa? While violent, unprotected sex is certainly high risk, I’m pretty sure deliberately bloodying your attacker’s penis while he’s inside of you isn’t helping matters any.
I too am really concerned about an attacker’s reactions to this. It will not serve as a deterrent since most rapists aren’t thinking logically to begin with, and is only activated once a rapist has overpowered a woman and achieved penetration. It seems to me far more likely to drive a rapist to do far more serious harm than to stop or prevent a rape.
Question: If, after a certain amount of time, this devilish and warped contraption is used by a larger section of females and thereby gains notoriety, what is to hinder potential rapists from fingering the girl, inspecting the vagina digitally og manually and discovering the contraption itself.
I assume it then can be removed or the girl forced to remove it under pain of violence and then what?
If she removes it “voluntarily” under threat, is the ensuing rape then a rape?
If the contraption is re-inserted after a rape, will this damage the rape-case afterwards “but your honor, She was wearing a Rapex(tm)(r)(c) and it was reported by police doctors to be intact and inserted”.
Thirdly, what if the rapex-penis-mutilator was discovered - would the rapists not get even angrier at the poor girl for the risk of damage to their penis and maybe do more damage to her? I mean, I assume these are not the most stable of people nor are they the most female-friendly members of the male sex. The mere thought of a woman actually potentially threatening their manlihood might make reprisals a pretty ugly thing.
Violent criminals tend to be repeat offenders and if the rapist is serial in nature he might adapt to violating women with an object like a stick.
A rape is a power struggle (so the brainiacs say, its not about sex, its about control dominance, etc) So I could easily see a man filled with rage and adrenaline beating a women until the adrenaline runs out and the pain is too much.
I think it’s a good product but I think we are giving rapists too much credit. One this tool does its business I’m sure you can get away (unless maybe you’ve been drugged)
I think this might always help victims of rape live normal lives and restore some sense of security.
If the product where highly publicised I do fear rapists would “evolve” to over come it.
Like how rapists use condoms to avoid DNA.
This will prevent against random assaults but in the western world you more likely to be violated by someone you know (I might be mistaken) and if he knows you have one he will be prepared.
From a guys prospective what if a women was wearing one she forgot, or she is crazy (not just me are violent dominate lovers), and you get stung. If you go to the hospital and the doc sees this you are never ever going to convince anyone you didn’t attempt to rape her. To be falsely accused of rape will destroy a life forever.
Well like anything its inventor’s intentions can be twisted.
What about anal? Can you stick it up the tail pipe?
I don’t have any objection to the product as a man, because I know for a fact I’ll never rape anyone… but the way the article is written is a tad offensive. How many women assume that all men are going to rape them? It seems like fear based marketing, which is only a half-step off terrorism in my opinion. No offense if you wear one, but just know that most guys aren’t going to rape you.
To Trevor:
When you put something, let alone something large enough to be able to accommodate a penis, into your vagina you don’t just ‘forget’ it is up there.
I love how this product gets shot down for being something that a rapist can ‘figure out’. It makes me angryfor you to be hedging your bets on serial rapists to take women out and make them become objects again. I’m no feminist but I think it is interesting that a bunch of guys have jumped on that particular opinion train of, ‘Well, this thing will never work because it won’t’
A guy isn’t going to beat his victim if this thing is stuck in him. He might hit or swipe but can you imagine from going from absolute arousal (which is the state someone is in when they’re going to rape someone) to absolute pain at the very point you’re supposed to be receiving your gratification from? Woah.
I think this invention, for the reason it was invented (an attack on rape attacks) and for the purpose it can serve (letting a woman know she has some kind control if other options run out) is wonderful.
To Carissa -
The idea of a woman forgetting it is there concerns me also. There is a question on the FAQ for the website that addresses this very thing. “Won’t I forget the device is in?
You could, but the empty applicator should remind you!” This is the thing that concerns me. I don’t think that checking the applicator would be one of the first thoughts that would go through a woman’s head. What if a woman goes home with a guy and the applicator is at her house?
I honestly don’t know what I think about this device. I can see the benefits of it, however, I can also see a lot of “mistakes” coming from it too.
I’m wondering what the difference is between this and carrying around mace? It seems just another form of self-protection. And I don’t see how it reduces the value of females in society? Maybe because I’m a guy, I’m missing something, but it seems like if someone lives somewhere dangerous, having mace is the same idea, of preventing an attack, and given mace is expected, this could be another deterrent/safety. The idea of rape disgusts me, especially to someone I love, and if they were able to protect themselves somehow, I don’t know why having something like this objectifies women, or somehow turns it into “she was asking for it” ideas.
And as far as Tu’s comment about “dont put yourself in a situation where you can get raped” what a ridiculous statement. Unbelievably ignorant.

The idea of rape disgusts me, especially to someone I love, and if they were able to protect themselves somehow, I don’t know why having something like this objectifies women, or somehow turns it into “she was asking for it” ideas.
And as far as Tu’s comment about “dont put yourself in a situation where you can get raped” what a ridiculous statement. Unbelievably ignorant.

Star got the right of it.
I can see so much misuse of it of a girl hating some guy, but mischieviously leering him to take him, once it’s in she’ll be like “Oops sorry, I forgot”. Or hell, someone MIGHT forget.
What’s the pain on this? And just curious, because I usually need to do this, but doesn’t a man usually use his fingers first? (and wouldn’t he notice the obvious plastic?)
Wow…thanks for the warning.
In the future, when I rape women I’ll make sure to fuck them in ass instead of the vagina. It’s tighter and generates more of those stimulating screams anyway.

When 2 out of 3 women have been sexually assaulted in their life, I don’t think this is a bad idea.
