Musical Condom

The next time you're love-making and hear music playing but swear you turned the radio off, the music may be coming from your condom.


Hryhory Chausovsky, a Ukrainian scientist, developed a condom that plays music during sex. That's right! Your condom may be the next star to hit Broadway! Chausovsky "developed the birth control device as a novelty, and as an aid for more pleasurable love-making." I don't know--I think my boyfriend and I get along just fine without music playing from his piece!


How It Works: The musical condom is said to contain a mini speaker and motion sensor in the condom's upper cuff. Gee, that can't be very comfortable!! He goes on to explain that "as the sex becomes more passionate, it registers the increased speed of the movements and plays the melody faster and louder." So, I suppose it's similar to those devices that move along to the beat of your iPod! And would this even be safe to wear? According to the mad scientist, "Testing has shown no danger of electric shock to users of the device." Good, because people may mistake the shock for a real orgasm!


Although we haven't received this product in for testing, I'm guessing it doesn't produce pleasurable-enough sound. (Our audio analyst Mike Kobrin will have to be the judge of that though.) However, the scientist is working on ways to improve the condom's sound quality. Utilizing subwoofers maybe?


And just so you don't think I'm joking, Chausovsky is actively seeking finacial supporters in order to bring the musical condom to mass production. I wonder though: Will he make a musical diaphragm too?

I...I got nothin. Okay, that's a lie. I always have something. But wow. I mean...whoa. The product can speak for itself, but I'm going to laugh if you do a follow up story once the product "comes in for testing!" It'd make me wonder what you guys DO over there at Gearlog! :D I have to admit though, I would imagine that music coming from...er...said bits during...er...said activity would be rather...er...disconcerting, don't you think? And a musical disphragm? Snikeys! ;)

I think it would be fun to try, at least once. Do you get a choice of genres? I'll buy the first one that comes out with the "William Tell Overture"!
