Spray-on condoms, developed in Germany

German engineering at its finest. From the Yahoo! News: Is this spray can the condom, or the mace?


For more info see: www.spraykondom.de

So guys, what do you think? Clever idea or nutso?

If it works, fair enough. Has it been tested yet? Wait for the Vaterschaftsklagen!

Sounds like a great idea. Might be a few years before we see it in the market place though.

Intriguing. First thought is "cool!". If they are as effective as regular condoms I'd imagine that they would be superior as they wouldn't be nearly as thick and would therefore not cause as much loss of sensation for both partners. I'll be curious to see how this shapes up.

If it works, I'd buy it.

Expected to hit the market in summer 2008. More info here: www.spraykondom.de

I've seen it all now. Do you think you can get chartered status through them like in engineering?

They are actually seeking testers.

Summer 2008 and GQ publishes an article "How many milliliters are you?" and hold a reader poll.

75% of men respond with 'tankard',
99% of men secretly worry that they're really a few milliliters less than 'average',
65% of men are estimated to have lied and answered 'tankard' when they're really 'half pint'

???

Honey. If it's inch comparison today it's gonna be 'how much spray do YOU need' tomorrow.

Ok, but are we talking volume of output here? I think men always overestimate!

Coverage baby, coverage. How much spray (volume) is required to cover the old fella. We're talking about spray-on condoms, stay with us.

Ok, but I didn't think this product actually existed yet, so how could... oh never mind. When it comes out we can do a poll.

In any case, a tankard full sounds a bit worrying if its what I was thinking.

That's why I said 2008... it was an 'Imagine the scenario' scenario.

And no, it's not what you were thinking.

Let's try some inverse logic as you're from down-under...

These guys are developing a spray-on condom. So, some liquid material (measured as a volume and not a length) will be required as a spray ...which will then become a more solid thin layer of whatever within a few seconds or so... then you're good to go. So, knowing men... (and I'm a bloke) we'll just use it as another excuse to talk and compare and worry about willy size... but now we can compare 'how much spray is required' as well as how long/thick it is... because the bigger it is the more surface area it has and therefore the more spray will be required to cover it (and therefore more milliliters of formula X). Crystal?

Problem is that it will be hard for them to guarantee it will make a sealed condom every single time. Real condoms are tested before they are sold, every single one of them. What if one of the spray jets gets blocked, or the cartridge is just about to run out, or any other number of faults that *could* happen?

I think they'll work those kinks out before they put it on the market. Like any form of contraception, it likely won't be 100% effective.

Well they'll have to work it all out before it would be allowed to be sold, but I think they'll find it hard difficult.

What about the "resevoir"?

Has anyone else had to take liquid latex off your skin before? It hurts.

Ok, I cannot pass up this opportunity. Who wants to help me develop a spray condom remover that leaves the pubes? Also, do they make the same spray for guys?

take care,

I think for the hassle, the good, old pill or normal condoms will be the mainstay.

On the one hand this opens up all sorts of chances for people to do penis graffiti, on the other hand you'll feel a right knob if you grab this one morning, spray it all over your face and then wonder why your razor keeps bouncing off.

The spray on condom was central to the plot of "This other Eden" from Ben Elton. You needed a second solvent spray to remove it.

There were stories of men going into hospital emergency with a reservoir of yellow fluid hanging from the end of their penis. It could not be cut, or punctured, only removed with the solvent spray.

The heroine, an Irish eco terrorist used the spray to seal her gun in wet weather conditions.

Whether or not this is real I can't imagine the product surviving long, I mean, just think of the problems in marketing and using it.

Can Size - if it's the size of a small hairspray tin or a scent bottle no lad will risk carrying it because of the slagging he'd get from his mates, "is that all you need!!" etc, etc.

If it's the size of an air freshener tin; you can hardly go around carrying a backpack every where "just in case" and what woman would want to be seen leaving with you if you did.
Maybe they could provide holsters and give a whole new meaning to the playboy of the western world.

When do you put it on - Spray before you score and you can't go for a piss; in a similar vein, imagine waking up bursting for a piss only to find you've no solvent for the feckin thing.

Romance - "have you sprayed yet" would almost be on a par with "are you in yet" for wrecking the mood.

Also, if this sprays on, solidifies, and has to be peeled off later, you wouldn't want anything to get caught in it so shaving before you go out would take even longer.

So first you spray on a condom and then spray some chemicals on the old man to get it off. Will it come in different tastes like lager and lime flavour? Cannot drive on the job then. Then there would be the different spray nozzles to like fine spray to get the condom and then there would have to be a gluggy one to get the ribbing on it. The imagination is endless. Well, mine is anyway. No, sod it, just use muscle control and whip it out before its time. Bareback rodeo rules.

What about the bubble at the end? I mean, when you climax your spunk has to go somewhere.

If you're REALLY interested in that question, they do seem to be looking for testers...

Spray on condom? Don't take Albert blinkin' Einstein to work out how that will end. Blokes + spray cans + beer = massive johnny spray fights down the pub. It'll be everywhere. We'll try to make novelty gloves, amusing hats, put it in peoples beer etc etc. fiasco basically.

What would they call the material anyway - Laytex??

Avaialble in any colour you like and in 'Gloss', 'Matt' and 'Hammer' finishes.

And different textures, silky smooth, fine cotton and, for the S&M crowd, sandpaper.

What if you use it when having a wank - a greater risk of waking up stuck to the sheets !!

God, it could be the start of a whole new series of smoochy CD's with customized "classics" like "Under Pressure", "Crazy Little Tin Called Love" and "Sprayla" - all performed by Johnny & The Jetsets.

Yes, it is a slow day in work.

What you get testers as well.No i can see it all going pear shaped.
Women could use it too to fend of attackers.Man in a bubble comes to mind

This looks like a lot of messing about, a bit of a passion killer sticking your penis into a tube and then doing the spray it all over bit. I cant see this as a novelty but not for real, they also seem to have forgotten about the teat at the end, you have to have some place for the product of your labour to go, and I don't even want to think about the pain involved peeling the stuff off

EDIT:coolerking seems to have spoted the design flaw as well

The diagram on there just shows a bog standard spray can, with what looks like two different nozzles for homosexual and heterosexual condoms ?

I saw it as you stuck you cock in a tube and then sprayed, maybe i miss read it

whats the difference between a homosexual and heterosexual condom?

Edit: yep I miss interpreted the diagram I thought the spay nozzle was the glands of a penis,...having a bad day today

Edit: 2 it seems from the diagram that the can has an insulating ring and some sort of magnetic strip!!!

Looks like they haven't figured out how to do it either, so don't plan on using these after the Christmas party.

any one hit the i want to be a tester button and signed up? Not even going to contemplate magnetising my todger for anyone

Sure it doesn't hurt as bad as the old 2 condoms and a layer of tiger balm in between? (you want safety you need to pay the price)

It is almost summer 2008

Cool! Looking forward to the experience!!

You waited? All this time???

yeah.. Was not using anything else in the meantime, since the fit aint perfect

If you click on the link in the OP it seems to say (if I understood correctly) that they will indeed not be coming out yet...sorry to disappoint, looks like you'll have to continue waiting for that perfect fit.
