Sick of fumbling with those old-fashioned prophylactics? Well have no fear, the spray-on condom is here! Jan Vinzenz Krause from the Institute for Condom Consultancy and his team are developing the ultimate in comfortable protection for men, Reuters reports. No more strewn condom wrappers or pesky imprints in your wallet … the condom of the future will be spray-as-you-go. Krause’s invention consists of a can-type device that sprays latex from all sides. "We call it the ‘360 degree procedure’ — once round and from top to bottom. It’s a bit like a car wash." Krause says the plan is to have the product work in about 5 seconds, making it especially convenient for those heat-of-the-moment situations where time is of the essence. He says the product will be extra-effective since it will be custom fit and won’t slip. However, before the new condom can be sold in shops, the company has to ensure that the latex gets evenly spread when it’s sprayed. Mr Krause hopes the hi-tech condom, which will be available in different strengths and colors, will on the market by 2008. Krause said he had hit upon the idea when considering the difficulties some people faced using condoms, and drew inspiration from spray-on plasters now used in medicine.

Can you imagine spraying a condom on someone? I don’t know about you, but the idea kind of freaks me out.
