Condom that protects and enlarges your penis

New condom promises a bigger experience

Condoms have long allowed couples to enjoy sex with few worries about pregnancy or disease. In recent years, erectile dysfunction drugs such as Viagra and Cialis have helped men improve their sexual performance. Now Britain’s Reckitt Benckiser (RBGPY) and its partner Futura Medical (FAMDF) think there could be big demand for a product that does both.
A condom under development by Reckitt Benckiser, the maker of Durex brand prophylactics, contains a dose of a Futura-produced gel called Zanifil inside the tip to stimulate blood flow within the penis. The two companies say their product helps men achieve firmer, larger erections and longer-lasting lovemaking. And unlike Pfizer’s (PFE) Viagra impotence pill, which requires a prescription, the soon-to-be-named Zanifil-enhanced condom will be sold over the counter at stores in Europe next year. “It’s essentially Viagra in a condom,” says Polar Capital Holdings’ Daniel Mahony, who owns shares of Futura Medical.

Futura aims to widen the condom market by winning over men who normally avoid them because of decreased sensitivity or partial loss of erection, says Chief Executive Officer James Barder. (Futura-funded research by Acupoll found that up to 22 percent of healthy men sometimes suffer a partial loss of erection during intercourse while wearing a condom.) Almost half of people who don’t use condoms would be interested in buying the product, Futura says.

Zanifil, like Futura’s other experimental drugs, relies on a patented delivery system known as DermaSys that allows medicine to permeate the skin rapidly. The drug, based on chest pain treatment nitroglycerin, widens the blood vessels by relaxing the muscles in the vessel walls, increasing blood flow. A company study found a significant portion of men and women reported firmer erections with a Zanifil condom, as well as larger penis size and longer-lasting sex.

Is Penis Enlargement A Scam?

Mayo Clinic: Learn about the options to enlarge your penis

Many men think they have a small penis, and increasing the size of their penis will make them a better lover or make them more attractive. But chances are your penis is within the normal size range — and even if it is smaller than average, it may not matter as much as you thought. Consider other options before you resort to time-consuming, expensive or dangerous techniques that will be minimally effective at best. The most effective solution may be as easy as open communication with your partner, talking with a professional counselor or enhancing yourself in other ways.

Be wary of these common and ineffective penis enlargement techniques, some of which can result in serious damage:

* Manual squeezing exercises (jelqing). These exercises, which use a hand-over-hand motion to push blood from the base to the head of a semierect penis, are supposed to be performed on a regular basis. Although this technique may be safer than other methods, it can lead to scar formation, pain and disfigurement. There are no scientific studies that indicate this technique is effective at increasing penis size.

* Stretching with weights. This technique, which involves wearing weights on the flaccid penis, may cause permanent penile damage. There's no scientific evidence that this technique increases penis size.

* Vacuum pumps. Because pumps draw blood into the penis and make it swell, they're useful in the treatment of impotence (erectile dysfunction). This may create an illusion of a larger penis, but results are seldom permanent. Repeated use can damage elastic tissue in the penis, leading to less-firm erections.

* Pills and lotions. These usually contain vitamins, minerals, herbs or hormones such as testosterone that claim to enlarge the penis. None of these products has been shown to be effective.
