Psycho Constructs Bungee Cord Out of Condoms, Then Jumps

Why would someone bungee jump with a cord made out of condoms you ask? If you thought it was an effort to make a statement about safe sex, you're wrong. Apparently the only real motivation Carl Dionisio had for the attempt was his own lunacy—he was hoping to re-create the "virgin buzz" he had with his first jump. Over the course of four months he and a friend constructed the rope using 18,500 condoms and a tried-and-true mathematical formula. Despite being 99% sure it would work, Dionisio admitted that his stomach was "in a knot for a month before the jump." More »

New NYC Condom Dispensers Are Flying Pucks of Prophylactics

Does anyone else find the recent, um, thrust to sex up condoms a little ironic? Redundant then? The latest aesthetically enhanced condom gadget is a sleek new dispenser designed by Fuseproject for NYC condoms, which are free and available in lots of places in the city. The concept behind the design is actually a little weird. More »

This Is Not What Your Girlfriend Wants For Valentine's Day

Sixteen years ago, after watching too many MC Hammer videos, Paul Lyons decided to patent the skeaziest thing he could think of (imagine taking that guy from Dual Action Cleanse infomercial's face and turning it into an equivalently sleezy product): A condom that plays music with every thrust.

XYXX Condom Case Almost Makes Using a Condom Sexy

I've always been kind of jealous at the array of attractive birth control cases exes have had to tote around their anti-baby pills. Condoms typically come in boxes and wrappers that are clumsy and ugly (exception). The XYXX condom case wants to change all that with a package you actually want to keep in your pockets. Yeah it's pretty phallic looking, but we're talking about cockwrappers here. More »

Phone Fingers Protect iPhone From Fingerprints, Have Obvious Sexual Uses


We don't know whether these phone fingers are real or not, but until the USB trouser press goes into production, these miniature, teatless, not-for-procreating-unless-you-lost-your-willy-in-a-freak-accident-and-had-a-rodent-penis-transplant condoms are my favorite useless thing evah. What else do you think they should be used for, though? More »

Condom that Makes your Willy Bigger Set to be Huge

A condom that will make your erection even larger than it already is and last even longer than it already does—ain't that right, guys?—is on its way. British firm Futura Medical's CSD500 rubber will be launched by British condom manufacturer Durex under an as-yet undisclosed name sometime next year. And it's all to do with what's in the teat.

Tobacco-Flavored Condoms, Party In Your Mouth

In order to promote safe sex among India's prostitutes, Hindustan Latex Ltd has developed "paan-flavored" condoms—making a man's...cigar...resemble the tasty Indian treat of betel nuts, spices and tobacco wrapped in betel leaves. At first you might say, "Sign me up!!" And we can certainly understand the enthusiasm. But are these prophylactics missing the point? More »

German Wang Spray is Instant Condom: From Liquid Rubber To Sweet Love in One Second

A German firm has developed a spray-on condom for all your lifestyle needs. The liquid condom comes in an aerosol can that you spray onto the organ in question. A few seconds later, the liquid solidifies into the familiar latex and forms a tight seal. The company says it's a great time saver and is easier to use than traditional condoms. It's still in the testing phase (in fact, they're looking for volunteers right now) so it might be a while before it hits the neighborhood drug store. Now there's no "but I hate putting it on" excuses. And anything that promotes safety and responsibility is A-OK in our books (usually). – Nicholas Deleon More »

Musical Condoms? WTF?

The picture tells the tale—that's right, it's a musical condom. Its tone varies with your position and intensity, but if you can keep it up with that tinkly little noise going on down there, you're a manlier man than I. Maybe it could be made to recite baseball scores to keep things going a little longer. – Charlie White More »

Waterproof, Paintproof, Bloodproof Condoms For Your Cellphone

In addition to "proofs" specified above above, these condoms are sweatproof, snowproof, rainproof and mudproof. And best of all, these skins can be used as a regular condom, since "the latex used is seventeen times stronger than regular latex and can be stretched seven times its own length." More »

Vibrating Condom - Rub Some of the Powder on My Lips, Bill

Pretty aged, but this is the first time we've seen it. The initially alarming visual generated by the phrase "vibrating condom" is nothing compared to this image. Looking like something straight outta Naked Lunch, the VIBERING wraps around the base of Mr. Johnson, runs on a battery and vibrates, all of which sounds distracting rather than arousing. Vibering claims it's waterproof and safe and made using "Japanese technology," although it's maufactured in Taiwan. There are already so many concerning elements in play here-not the least being the eXistenZ body-penetrating look of the thing-that I wouldn't let it get anywhere near my junkdrawer, personally. They promise to turn a "man's organ into a vibrating powerhouse," but why bother if it already is? Hi-o! More »
