“Spray-on” condoms about to start production

Much like in this post the following story is not exclusively related to the Americas yet it’s still caught our attention.

A German scientist has perfected a special “spray-on” condom that is touted to fit any sized penis. How does it work?

The condoms…are applied with a special applicator. Men insert their assets, press a button, and an aerosol canister sprays on a fast-drying latex liquid. 25 seconds later, the condom is dry and ready for use. It is then rolled off and disposed afterward.

The greatest advantage of the system is the “one size fits all” approach though the director of the Institute for Condom Consultancy admitted that applying the spray may interfere with the “romance factor” of lovemaking. The cost of each application will be roughly double that of conventional prophylactics though the system is nearly ready for production.

Will the “spray-on” condom system achieve widespread use? Perhaps, though it will surely take time to catch on in underdeveloped countries.
