Good idea? Women would you wear one on a night out?

firstly whats to stop a girl shovin one in there then willingly having sex with you and destroying your wang.
secondly a rapist is probably also a violent angry person n trapping their wang in some painful hook thing will just probably make them very angry and more liekly to inflict serious physical damage on their victim.
And if a women upsets me I'll spray my condom with deep heat and give it to her rough. :rolleyes:
Tne answer is too have less women having to suffer sexual assualts in the first place, not to have them get som kind of revenge.
I remember an incident from a few years back where a guy who had had his wallet repeatedly stolen (pickpocketed) put a piece of card with several fish hooks (pointing down) in his inside jacket pocket. He went out one day, some git tries to steal his wallet and he (the guy with the fish hooks in his pocket) gets done for assault.
I think if you've asked nicely it won't be something you need to check for.....unless of course you asked nicely for that sort of thing.
Might stop them raping someone else, but not you, for it to be effective, its going to have to go in somehow.
Not that for one second I think this is that great an idea but rape by a stranger in a violent confrontation occurs much more frequently in South Africa than in many other countries, outside of wars.
The idea being, I assume, is to terrify potential rapists into thinking all women would be wearing one - thus preventing the crime. The problems with that and what it would mean for what rapists would change their behaviour are a little too unpleasant, at least for me, to go over again on a Sunday lunchtime.
I'd be interested to see any stats on if it has been used and the effect in the last year though.
Also, this device doesn't prevent anal rape.
That was my first thought.
I once saw a painters face mask which had a bunch of holes poked in it. The idea was to allow the wearer to smoke a whole pack of cigarettes at one time...
So the aim is to have something that means people would be turning up at hospitals showing they'd raped someone and then could be questioned by police.
In a disturbing way it's really more like paint bombs in armoured cars than something to actually prevent a rape from happening. To be honest the FAQ on the website doesn't actually make a lot of sense when you read it.
Oh and it's called rape-ax or something now because RAPEX was the UN's grain subsidy measure or something like that.
Could make it nice and easy to frame someone...
