Recently, an American specialist Charles Powell was presented with a completely new condom that has greater strength, safety, allows to preserve the natural sensations during sexual intercourse, and is also more convenient to use.
The main difference from conventional condoms is that the new condom, which was called The Galatic, leaves the main part of the penis open, hiding only the head, so that a man can experience natural sensations during sex.
The new development consists of two parts: a specially fastened cap for sperm and a polyurethane U-shaped film that is fastened around the penis, like a patch. As the developer himself notes, the polyurethane feels like leather on the sensations, and the product can be worn not only for hours, but also for days, for example, securing a condom in a few hours (or days) before the alleged sexual intercourse. Polyurethane part of the condom does not prevent urination or daily hygiene procedures. Before you have sex, you need to peel off a special protective layer on the cap and fix it on the body that is on the penis. In addition, according to Powell, the product helps to solve three main problems with condoms:
- decreased sensitivity;
- inconvenient packing;
- problems with dressing.
In addition, Charles Powell notes that about 18% of traditional protection during use are torn. The new development cap cap, which should keep the sperm more durable, so there is less chance that the condom will be unsuitable.
But according to independent experts, such a product is not able to protect against sexually transmitted diseases, particularly herpes, since the bulk of the penis remains unprotected, and viruses are known to penetrate the skin. In addition, it is possible that during the sexual act the protective cap can disconnect.
Specialists noted that new condoms that are not able to protect against sexually transmitted diseases are suitable only for couples who are in long-term relationships, while another part of scientists approved the new invention as a good option for the porn industry.
It is worth noting that quite often the main reason for refusing traditional condoms is the inconvenience of use.
In Holland, experts developed a new model of condoms, which became a sensation.
As the developers themselves noted, the reason for the development was that such an important thing in the modern world, like a condom, was not convenient enough to use. The main difference of the new condom is a special C-shaped device, which is also equipped with two wings. As the inventors themselves say, the innovation they developed allows you to quickly (in 2 seconds) use a condom with two fingers of one hand.
