I have a product development class this semester where we form teams with engineering students to build a new product to test on a market. We have to come up with a product that will help humans in some way, and it must be totally original. I racked my brain for a few days and came up with a bunch of products that either existed or were just improvements of existing products. We have to use our own funds too, so it can't be too expensive.

Last night I was talking to my friend (who is a self-proclaimed man whore). He was telling me about these girls he met (blah, blah, blah) and then this itching sensation on his testicles as a result. He always wears condoms, but he claims that (depending on the girl) sometimes he needs more protection.

So I racked my brain and came up with the full-coverage condom. It would somehow perform like a regular condom, but also have a latex "bag" for one's testicles. This way, no matter how dirty the other party is, you can remove the condom and it would be like your privates were never there.

My initial idea is to have a condom with a "bag" on the base of it that would secure itself around the testicles with some kind of elastic (not too tight though). The extra length of the condom would have to bunch up at the base of the penis, so that the bag would have an accurate fit. If made correctly, the condom should be able to roll up and be stored like condoms are today.

I Googled and couldn't find any product similar to my idea. I need to know if anyone on these boards has heard of an idea like this, or if the product already exists somewhere today. Also, what do you think of my idea? I would never have to use a product like this, but some people shoot for the bottom of the barrel - so this would be targeted at them. Also, our group would have to find a way to make a prototype latex condom (doesn't have to be perfect, this is only an undergrad class). If you have any insight on how to form latex cheaply, please post links here. Nick

The femidom comes pretty darn close to covering just about everything..!

[zigzag]

Clever idea. Some thoughts:

a) Get your terminology straight or your grade might suffer. It's his scrotum that itches, not his testicles. If his testicles itch, he's got bigger problems than he thinks.

b) If the condom thing doesn't work out, you could invent a battery-powered scrotum scratcher. Same problem, different solution. Trying to think outside the box here . . . no pun intended.

c) The product will need a name targeting the bottom-of-the-barrel, disease-prone market. I would suggest something like "Skank." A catchy slogan might be: "For those times when an antiseptic isn't enough." Or "When you're with the girl next door, and next door is a crack house."

Instead of making a full-coverage condom...how about not sleeping with "dirty" women!!!? Just a thought...

it's just an improvement again ;-)

Already been done.

Leslie Nielson and Priscilla Presley used them in the movie, "The Naked Gun".

[OldManMac]

Reminds me of an old joke.

A guy is driving on a country road, when he comes across a young girl standing next to a broken down car. Naturally he stops and offers to take her to the nearest town. She hops in and notices a condom partially hanging out of the glove box. She asks him what it was, and he thought quickly, and replied that it was cigaretter holder. Nothing more is said about it.

Days later, she's in the drug store and sees a large variety of condom boxes behind the counter with pictures on the box. She calls the attendant over and tells him she wants one of them. He asks what size, and she replies, "Big enough for a pack of camels!"

Body Condom.


I have a thought; find a nice girl/guy who hasn't slept with the entire basketball (insert team) here, cheerleading squad, and uhm, marry them?

When you sleep with a stranger, you sleep
with one of their partners, and so on, and if
they slept with someone you slept with, it is
possible to F yourself.

[willed]

Sounds like Michigan State Uni is a real hot-bed of innovation and cutting edge research.

this thread reminded me of one of my favorite Public Image Limited songs:

The Body

When you run about-without precautions
You get dieseases-need abortions
And up till now-no vaccination
Can give you back your reputation
CHORUS
We want-we want your body
We want-we want your body
We want-we want your body
We want-we want your body
We want-we want your body
We want-we want your body
We want-we want your body
Cahty go home-without your daughter
In a welfare state-she'll be well looked after
And it's easy now-this other person
Is off your back-Not a burden
CHORUS
Body!
When you run about-without precautions
You'll get diseases-need abortions
And up till now-no vaccination
Can give you back your reputation
CHORUS
Your body!

Funny, this thread brought up the "STD song" from Monty Python, in my head.

added: I guess the real name is "The Medical Love Song"

Inflammation of the foreskin reminds of your smile
I've had ballanital chancroids for quite a little while
I gave my heart to NSU that lovely night in June
I ache for you my darling, and I hope you get well soon
My clapped-out genitalia is not so bad for me
As the complete and utter failure every time I try to pee
My doctor says my buboes are the worst he's ever seen
My scrotum's painted orange and my balls are turning green
My heart is vert tender though the parts are awful raw
You might have been infected but you never were a bore
I'm dying of your love, my love, I'm your spirochaetal clown
I've left my body to science but I'm afraid they've turned it down
My penile warts your herpes, my syphilitic sores
Your moenelial infetion, how I miss you more and more
Your dnob's itch my scrumpox, our lovely gonorrhoea
At least we both were lying when we said that we were clear
Our syphilic kisses sealed the secret of our tryst
You gave me scrotal pustules with a quick flick of your wrist
Your trichovaginitis sent shivers down my spine
I got snail tracks in my anus when you spirochaetes met mine
Gonoccalurethritis, streptocalbalinitis,
Meningo myelitis, diplococcal cephalitis,
Epididymitis interstitial keratitis,
Syphilitic choroiditis and anterior uveitis.

Making me feel old again thank you very much. I'll have that song in my head for the rest of the day.

Well Minty, then I wouldn't have a product for my class. I currently don't sleep with dirty women, but if this condom thing works out - anything goes.

A condom with a scrotum bag may be an ok idea, but I don't think there is a viable market for it. No one would use it.

You would have to produce them for cheaper than regular condoms. Condom purchases are very important items in the man-whore economy, easily a $300 a month expenditure.

The market would have to be "guys that sleep with dirty whores." Anyone but a dirty whore would get offended if you saran-wrapped your whole package before sex.

[Superchicken]

Try a mouth condom so they don't get STDs that can be transferred in the mouth

How bout full latex body suits?

[amsalpemkcus]

I think you need to go farther than that. Make that scrotum bag cover larger and install a vibrator motor inside the bottom half of it, also connect the vibrator to a support pad (thats inflatable if required) that goes all the way to the head although only running below the shaft (this will give you a few cms of girth and maybe even length. Give her the cord/switch. This will make the whole assembly go nuts as and when she pleases! I would call this "Jack-Hammer" or just "Jack" to market it.

I had to quote this again. THE best post in recent board history. I even cried. You are, indeed, The Man.

Hey Bibletoter, that's why the invented flavored condoms and if you are thinking "oh what about for when you need to do it to a girl" that is called a dental dam. In either case I don't think you need to worry about it.

You've just painted the funniest mental picture in my head.

[disectamac]

How about a latex spray if thats possible. Would be pretty innovative and you could easily patent it and lock the market out because it is so unique.

It would take a lot of research for obvious reasons but I wouldn't be suprised to see something like this on the market a few years from now. Call it "Cover All" or something.

It works in theory, but imagine the latex all over the pubic hair of the 99% of guys who don't shave. Ouch.

[tooki]

As for how to mold the latex -- did it occur to you to investigate how condoms are made? Hint: it's the same as latex examination gloves (just using better latex).

I've seen the sea of porcelain hand molds for rubber gloves... imagine the one for condoms! LOL

...and I thought getting a pube caught in a normal condom was painful enough !

Sex-shops looking for new toys might be interested in product launch.

tell your buddy that there's a point where he just has to say no. Man whore is one thing, dirt bag is another.
(btw, I live with a guy like that... constantly having to save...)

[SupahCoolX]

Or instead of a bag, what about a "cone" like they use on dogs after surgery? Imagine a flat "disc" like a CD. The penis protrudes through the hole in the middle, encased by a standard condom. You don't have to mess with latex. Just manufacture the disc (with various size holes, I suppose) and it can be used with any standard condom. If the disc is , I don't know, 4-6 inches in diameter, ones full set of hardware and surrounding areas should be safe.

So it would be like one of those "hand guards" on a fencing foil. We could manufacture them in silver to be used with silver condoms, and gay guys could have realistic sword fights.
