Dr. Sonnet Ehlers has invented Rape-axe, a female device with jagged hooks that latch onto a man’s penis during penetration.

The doctor is distributing 30,000 of these condoms in South Africa during this year’s World Cup.

“It hurts,” Ehlers told CNN. “He cannot pee and walk when it’s on. If he tries to remove it, it will clasp even tighter.”

South Africa has one of the highest rape rates in the world, according to Human Rights Watch. It is also believed that 16 percent of the population is living with HIV. Rape-axe is inserted like a tampon and when embedded to a man the device can only be removed by a doctor.

Interesting device, to say the least.

    Freud is well known for making shit up. Everything was sex, sex, sex-and then what with being uncomfortable with women, “projecting” vanginal dentata was an easy call.

    Still, he broke the ice and opened up a whole new way to think about the human condition. Start with Freud, but never end there. Still relatively new is the whole field of Darwinian Psychology. Best to take a little bit from all the theories.

  2. Ah_Yea says:

    Yes, this is a very good way to get her killed.

    If rape is epidemic in South Africa, that implies women are held in very little regard. So she traps a rapist with one of these things, and what happens?

    A) The rapist claims she is a prostitute, and get off free.
    B) He blows two holes in her head, to make her an example.

    The whole situation has now gone from bad to worse.

    If you really want this to stop, don’t hand out nasty little sex toys, give her a .45

    These will become popular, i feel bad for girlfriends who want to get back at ex boyfirends. U know they will use this on them to get them back for that one time he cheated on her in their past. Wow!

  4. chuck says:

    Could be popular with the fetish crowd.
    Where can I get one?

  5. Maricopa says:

    Wonder how long before some thoughtful rapist turns one inside out and slips it on?

    Man! I’m sorry I thought of that.

  6. Glenn E. says:

    So this woman doctor invented this thing. Obviously in violation of her Hippocratic Oath, “first, do no harm”. Creating a “bear trap” for men’s private part, certain falls under the description of pain and suffering. Even though it’s intended to stop rapists. It can’t be 100% certain that’s the only ones who will be victimized. Unscrupulous women, out to make some easy cash as fake hookers. And then use these things to cut the act off short of advertised.

    Let’s face it, no device is ever going to be foolproof or not misused. The reason they have so high a rate of rape in that country, is due to the judicial system there. And these devices are more likely to get the women who use them, into more trouble, than the men who get “trapped” by them. And a certain women doctor a lot of death threats, I imagine. At some point, these things will simply just be banned. They’ll be harder to get in that country, than condoms. And probably end up costing more than most women there, can afford.

  7. Luc says:

    Is that designed to be used in the anus as well? It had better be.

  8. BigBoyBC says:

    This device will only encourage a rapist to commit a more violent criminal act, including dismemberment or murder.

  9. Tippis says:

    There are a number of criticisms that this thing has raised. The most common one has already been mentioned: that chances are this will commonly elevate “just” a rape into severe physical violence.

    A more troubling thing, though, is that it risks further shifting the blame towards the victims: “What? You didn’t wear your anti-rape condom? Then you obviously wanted it, so it wasn’t rape!” We already see this logic related to clothing, behaviour, and so on, and it only serves to weaken the position of women in general.

  10. Frankenwad says:

    South Africa. Right. These will sell big – everywhere but. So, it’s time for an enterprising outfit to come up with a slip-on sleeve with a thick sillyputty attachment to capture and clog this device. While I certainly don’t want to defend rapists, this just isn’t right. Chemical castration would be more humane. This device is potentially more permanently damaging than normal sexual penetration would cause a woman, and it won’t prevent the passing of an STD. This is a revenge device, and must be legally treated as one.

    Hopefully this isn’t real. But real or not it just serves to kick up more distrust between the sexes. Solves alot of problems this does.

  11. Hmeyers says:

    In 3rd world countries, you can’t even get them to use birth control. No doubt this will be just about as effective at solving the proposed problem.

    Anyone else think it is strange that the picture of the inventor is white, but in reality 90% of South Africa is black.

    What racist feelings does this white woman harbor against black men? <– that was a joke

  12. Dallas says:

    This is good reason for straights to carry a test dildo with them. Get one with an LED light and screwdriver set to address any embarrassing questions.

    Eweeee

  13. Brisbane Oswald says:

    Looks like somebody just read Neal Stephenson’s “Snow Crash”
    Now they need to figure out how to get it to inject a tranquilizer.

  14. akallio says:

    > the device can only be removed by a doctor.

    I bet I could get it off with a pair of dikes, uh, diagonal cutters.

  15. Hhopper says:

    @ Brisbane Oswald

    Snow Crash was an excellent novel.

    Apparently Africans have never heard of scissors.

  17. spsffan says:

    I’m with #22. Armed women don’t get raped. But I’d gladly take one of these bear traps on my junk over having to listen to those vuvuzelas!

    And, the inventor, judging from the picture, has never had a penis inside her anyway :) .

  18. wamalamadingdong says:

    The inventor can’t be a medical doctor, if she is, she needs to lose her license.

    I’m guessing that the rapist will be MUCH more likely to kill his victim.

    I can’t imagine wearing this inside me just in case of an attempted rape. But the snub nosed 38 strapped to my thigh is a pretty good deterrent, and it’s cute.

  19. The DON says:

    I am surprised that this has only been mentioned once in the posts, but not many people considering the malicious uses for this……..

  20. OvenMaster says:

    Dr. Ehlers simply had to make her nail polish the same color as blood, didn’t she.
