I found this article in BUST magezine:
'Penis Flytrap
"It will make men think twice," said 57-year-old South African inventor Sonette Ehlers at the August unveiling of her controversial new product- the "Rapex" anti-rape condom. Created to protect women in a country where one in nine is HIV positive and the rape rate is the highest in the world at 50,000 reported cases per year, the device is designed to be inserted like a tampon and worn regularly by women as a precautionary measure. Made of latex and held firm by shafts of sharp barbs, the Rapex attaches itself to an attacker's ween- hook, line, and sinker- while also functioning as a female condom, offering protection from against pregnancy and infection. Once it gets its hooks in a perpetrator, the condom can only be removed surgically, ensuring that rapists can be both identified and apprehended once they hit the hospital. Critics are calling the Rapex barbaric, but Ehlers isn't having it. "This is not about vengeance, but about the act- that is what I hate," she says. "It's a medievil weapon for a medievil man."
