(CBS) A South African doctor has created a female condom that puts teeth in the fight against rape.

Literally.

The anti-rape condom, called "Rape-aXe," features rows of jagged hooks designed to attach to a man's penis during penetration. Once attached, the condom can only be removed by a doctor - hopefully when authorities can arrest him, Dr. Sonnet Ehlers, the condom's designer, told CNN.

"It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it's on," she said. "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 supervise the distribution of 30,000 free devices in cities hosting the World Cup soccer matches. After the trial period, they'll be available for about $2 apiece, according to CNN.

"The mother of two daughters said she visited prisons and talked to convicted rapists to find out whether such a device would have made them rethink their actions," CNN reported. "Some said it would have."

Critics say the condom makes women vulnerable to violence from men trapped by the device.

It's also a form of "enslavement," Victoria Kajja, a fellow for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the east African country of Uganda, told CNN. "The fears surrounding the victim, the act of wearing the condom in anticipation of being assaulted all represent enslavement that no woman should be subjected to."

Kajja added that the device reminds women of their vulnerability.

"It not only presents the victim with a false sense of security, but psychological trauma," she added. "It also does not help with the psychological problems that manifest after assaults."

But she acknowledged that the device might allow justice to be served.

Rape convictions are rare in most African countries, according to CNN. Victims don't get immediate access to medical care, and DNA tests to provide evidence are too expensive.

Women take drastic measures to prevent rape in South Africa, Ehlers said. Some go so far as to insert razor blades wrapped in sponges in their private parts.

Critics have said the device is like something out of the Middle Ages.

"Yes, my device may be medieval, but it's for a medieval deed that has been around for decades," she told CNN. "I believe something's got to be done ... and this will make some men rethink before they assault a woman."

I believe we already had a thread on this. The idea's been around for five or six years and I don't believe it has achieved much traction. The biggest concern seems to be that the aggressor would become enraged and seriously hurt or kill the victim.
 
The biggest concern is requiring women to live in so much fear of rape on a daily basis that they stuff an anti rape device into their vagina. What kind of life is that woman leading if she lives in that much fear?

The kind of life you'd be happy to introduce to them in Canada and the US based on your immigration stance.

The fear of rape, in some places, is the reality, the starting point, the given. Yes, that is the biggest concern.

But you do nothing to address that fear -- not the casues of it, not the effects of it -- simply by wishing that it weren't so.

You are one of our thinkers -- why don't you make your own constructive suggestion how women might free themselves, and their society, from this reality?

A life of extreme liberal diversity and multiculturalism. It's just cultural enrichment don't you know?
 
How would something like this work given that it doesn't break the skin? Those barbs looks fairly sharp and would certainly do some damage? And would it not just fall off when the penis goes soft?

It is very sad that women have to live in constant fear and may have to resort to such a device, but if the "justice systems" in those countries are turning a blind eye to the crime then people have to take matters into their own hands.
 
These things won't work at all. Looks like it uses a row of barbs (like on a fish hook) to attach harder when pulled off.

1. When penis goes soft, it can be easily removed. Look at the pics. 1/4" less in penis diameter and it can probably be pulled right off.
2. Barbs will release if it is pushed on further. Can pull on the tip and cut it with scissors (carefully!) then roll the whole thing up your penis to the base. Then cut off the "ring" that is left.
3. Assuming this isn't made of kevlar, any cut or tear in the lengthwise direction will cause this thing to come of. It only holds on because it's around the circumference.. if you cut a slit lengthwise it will peel right off.

She'll make $ till stories of it failing start to hit the news. It's a false sense of security.
 
Not to sound negative, but I don't see this succeeding either. If the condom is rolled on, assuming you can convince a rapist to put the condom on prior to the rape, wouldn't he be able to see or even feel the barbs first? If this is the case, he may very become even more violent to the victim. if it is a solid piece, are women gonna wear that all the time just in case of a potential rape? She would be better off wearing a chastity belt them. Don't get me wrong here as I don't approve of rape or any violence towards women or to anyone for that matter.

Just my 5 cent (since we longer have pennies)

Methinks you have the wrong idea here.
The device is to be inserted and worn by the girl, I guess whenever she goes out and about.
The rapist would be unaware until he engages, pain ensues, then he goes beserk on the girl who then gets beaten to a pulp.
Of course if there are multiple men,the next guys are home free.
Bad idea all around.
Maybe they should just do a better job catching 'REAL' rapists and castrating them.
IMO
 
Not sure about you guys nor am I ready to test this theory, but I think if I had a bunch of barbs like that stuck in my penis, I'd be so focussed on getting that off that the woman would have time to get away without any further aggression toward her.

Just a thought.

Right AJstar, that was second idea. The woman inserts it in her vagina and essentially it becomes a mouse trap so to speak. At that point, wouldn't she just be better off getting a chastity belt? I'm sure those things are not comfortable to be walking around in and god forbid it actually breaks in her! On a more twisted note, what if the rapist attacks her from the other end? Does she walk around with two of them in her? But I too agree with you. just a very bad idea.
 
Here's why it won't work, the guy likes to go up the back door. Use good old fashion pepper spray.
 
This remind me of tooth viagina movie i saw in netflix. Girl born with a viagina that have teeth!



vagina that bite back!!!
