Consent Condoms    The world of forensic science brings us the Consent Condom. Intended as an anti-date-rape device, the spaceage sheath works like this: The woman tears open the package and removes the inner sleeve, which records her fingerprints, signaling her consent. Next, she documents the date by tearing through the numbers that run down its sides. Effective? Yes. But is it a mood killer?"  "Science may not be sexy, but then again, neither are accusations," says inventor David Morrow.

Reasons for using a Consent Condom 1. Avoiding Pregnancy and Abortion. Women are frequently faced with the problem of unwanted pregnancy and there are approximately 510 abortions in the UK every day. In the case of a 'one-nighter' an illicit, temporary or going nowhere relationship a baby is the last thing either party wants to have to deal with. Abortions can be both physically and mentally scarring and can effect the future fertility of the women as well as her peace of mind during pregnancy. 2. New Relationship. Although an exciting and emotionally charged time, introducing a condom in the early stages of a new relationship shows a responsible and respectful attitude towards your partner. Obviously unaware of each other's sexual history it is always better to prevent than to cure. It also shows a degree of integrity and maturity. If he won't use the product then he's not as mature as you may think and if she won't use it, neither is she. 3. STI (Sexually transmitted Infection). These infections can have both immediate and long-term effects. What is particularly worrying is that they are often undetectable until they manifest themselves in a serious, often untreatable way. Many other infections cause irritation and painful complaints and can be easily transmitted through sexual contact but using a condom will significantly lower the risk of ever catching them. 4. HIV / AIDS. 'Human Immunodefieciency Virus' and 'Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome'Complicated names for complicated diseases. Perhaps the most well known and definitely the most severe and life threatening infections. They can be treated yet despite many years of intensive research they cannot be cured. 5. Just in Case. In the regrettable case of a false accusation of sexual malpractice the product helps to raise the issues of consent and is admissible in court. It is hoped that it can be seen and used as an important protective device for both parties by bringing mutual consent into the sexual arena and removing the element of misunderstanding. 6. Final Thought. When the emotions are highly charged as in a sexual encounter the consent condom allows for a moment of clarity. Before foreplay it gives you time to rationalise and allows for a period in which you can make the decision as to whether you want to continue. Are you in control of both your emotions and the situation? Having considered the above it is clear that with this product there should be no misunderstanding between two consenting adults. You are both acting responsibly and maturely, he is using a condom and she cares enough to show she means yes. A win-win scenario. Be safe - Be responsible - Be adult.
