Kiev (dpa) - A Ukrainian has invented a condom that
plays music during sex, Korrespondent magazine
reported Wednesday.
Scientist Hryhory Chausovsky developed the birth
control device as a novelty, and as an aid for more
pleasurable love-making, he said.
A miniature loudspeaker and motion sensor implanted in
the condom's upper cuff provides a range of musical
tones during sex.
Music volume depends on intensity of love-making. Tone
varies based on the sexual position adopted by lovers,
Chausovsky said.
"It (the condom's sound) is directly related to the
emotional level of the users," he said.
The music volume generated by the condom would serve
not only to assist lovers in obtaining higher quality
sex, but also inform them when an erection is present,
Chausovsky said.
The condom's main limitation is primitive sound
quality, similar to tones produced by first-generation
mobile phones. Testing has shown no danger of electric
shock to users of the device, Chausovsky claimed.
"We are working on ways to improve this (the quality
of the condom's sound)," he said.
An inventor in the east Ukrainian city Zaporizhia,
Chausovsky said he was looking for a financial backer
to put his musical condom, currently in the
experimental stage, into mass production.
Condoms and other birth control devices are generally
unpopular in Ukraine, a country suffering one of the
highest HIV-infection rates in the world.
Sex novelty items nevertheless have found a small but
growing market in recent years among the country's
small middle class.
