A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Protect yourself!

Recently a South African doctor invented an anti-rape condom, which seems like an interesting enough concept. I can only assume that doctor might have perused some of the BME CBT for inspiration, or perhaps he saw this man’s piercing, which could prove to be quite the rapist repellant.

    That anti-rape condom is fucking stupid.

    1) The chances of the rape victim getting physically killed or hurt are going to be far higher if the rapist gets injured with one of these things.

    2) All the rapist has to do is check for this thing beforehand, and pull it out if it’s there.

    *sigh*

    That piercing on the other hand looks deadly.

    Wow it looks like the jewlery might be a little short would that be uncomfortable? And I hope he doesn’t leave that in and take home a girl from the bar and forget it’s in. She probably wouldn’t call him back

    currently many of the women who are being raped in Africa don’t have a chance. they are being raped and killed already (just read some news on the current situation in the Congo). The anti-rape condom is to give them at least a small chance to get away and survive. there are over 1000 rapes a month are reported in the DRC alone, something needs to be provided to these women to protect themselves. so please don’t call something stupid unless you have a better idea.

    let me get this right… the “anti-rape condom” is inserted by the woman into her vagina, the apparatus has to be worn all day, every day to provide any measure of security…
    for the “anti-rape condom” to work as designed, the penis of the offender must be inserted into the vagina, where it will be caught in the “anti-rape condom”

    if the offender inserts his penis in the vagina of the victim, then that is an unwanted and forced sexual action… meaning, rape….

    it should be named the “stop a rape in progress condom that will cause a lot of pain and enrage the offender who will probably just straight out kill his victim”

    now, if there was a “stop a rape in progress condom that does so by injecting the offender with highly poisonous compounds”… that would be a far more effective apparatus…

    Face it, this anti rape condom is merely to make a ‘normal’ condom look like a minimum choice now…

    An anti rape condom is like inventing an anti theft handbag.. When will people understand there’s some things we cant stop or change, nor limitate any damage..

    Unless you feed these women with bullshark steroids that is..

    I don’t understand the anti rape condom hate. Yes, the woman is still going to be raped, but the man is going to be quickly preoccupied when there’s spikes cutting into his member, giving the woman a chance to escape. Yes, it may enrage the man but the woman will know this before she decides to use the condom won’t she? Also, I was under the impression it can only be removed with medical help, meaning the man will be caught?
