THE CURE FOR THE COMMON CONDOM

A new invention now being marketed in South Africa hopes to put an end to the unromantic chore of trying to put on a condom during sex. The “Pronto” condom no longer requires you to tear open the wrapper and try to figure out which way is up. Instead, the wrapper is designed as part of the condom which you simply snap open, grab the two sides to roll the condom down, and then pull the wrapper off. “If you’re slow, it’ll take you three seconds. You can really do it in one,” said inventor Willem van Rensburg, who claimed that the idea came after studies showed that the “struggle factor” was the main reason people don’t bother to use condoms.
