Vagina dentata, or cunt teeth, is a paranoid fantasy Freud cooked up. A less dramatic and more practical version, however, may soon find its way to the market in South Africa. Sonette Ehlers, reacting to the high incidence of rape in the country, has shepherded the creation of a tampon-like device that will trap an invading penis with microscopic teeth. Once it latches on, it can only be removed by doctors with the help of anesthetics, forcing the rapist to come forward. It will also prevent semen from contaminating the victim, protecting her from the possibility of STDs and pregnancy.
But it won't exactly lead to any scenes of a rapist dancing with pain as a bear trap is clamped onto his dick. According to the article, the rapist won't even notice the device until he withdraws his cock. It sounds more like a combination of a Chinese finger trap and a female condom than an H.R. Giger afterglow made real. Still, it's another potential weapon against rape, and a pretty unique one at that, even if it doesn't have much of a bite.
