And if she forgets to remove it, and is not molested, will I be trapped later that night while having consensual sex? If so, I hope her homeowners insurance covers my serious lawsuit. 😡

A woman can remove it anytime she wants…it’s an unwanted man that must have it removed surgically… What did you think happens when a woman is assaulted, that the man rips it out of her, leaving her a bloody mess as well?

It should say it can only be removed from the penis surgically. But with that clarification, I'm more likely to accept it. Thanks...

Wow! Yeah, I support that 100%. Only thing is, it could actually be used "offensively" if a woman wanted to lure a man for that reason.
It's a real "leg-crossing" thought for most men.

The idea of it having to be removed only by surgery makes me hesitant to agree. Makes it very difficult to switch to having consensual sex and then back to protecting against rape...

It's not murder if it is self defense from rape.
Maybe you could come up with some miniscule theory of how it's potentially a booby trap, but morally if someone were to rape you and die from that device, then their death should be 100% justified and their fault.

You know what, if you feel that this device protects you and it makes you feel safe to wear one every day when you go out, by all means wear this crazy contraption to your hearts content.

I mean, I can’t really “support the use” of any particular thing by other people. That said, if someone wants to buy one, go ahead.

True, but like with many other safety devices, people can use it wrong or maliciously. It doesn’t make the device bad, and in cases like this I’d argue the good outweigh the bad.

I heard about this device more than a decade ago and have never heard of even 1 rapist trapped in it.

As the rapist told his crying would be victim: "get a grip!"... he probably did not expect her to take it that literally.

This has been circulating for nearly two decades now, so I don’t think it’ll ever get to the point, but on the off chance that these devices actually become mainstream, it will also make people think twice about whom they’re sleeping with willy-nilly.

DJ, you must be talking to somebody who has me on ignore. I only see what you are saying. Who else is in this thread?
Anyway, I read the question the same way you did.

No problem. I don’t think any woman would accept having that thing inserted to only be able to surgically remove it, knowing what’s going to happen when a man can’t get back out of her. That sounds too much like feline sex…

I love this idea. It’s got the same effect as concealed carry. People are far less likely to rob you in Texas vs NY. Why? Because they never know when someone’s packing heat in TX. Same brilliance here.
This will come in handy in the near future as our rapes skyrocket, too. The only thing I don’t like is that it’s a surgical thing. But now that this has been developed, someone will come up with a non-surgical option.

I disagree, because ultimately it doesn't prove that the suspect committed rape. I have no problem with these being sold, but I am highly skeptical of the purported benefits.
Unfortunately, I have little trust that the "fairer sex" would use this as intended. A woman could consent, then use this as a tool to blackmail a man.
Besides, strong-arm rapes are actually relatively rare in the US. Most rapes are by more subtle means such as drug-facilitated date rapes. Most victims know their attacker.
