Condoms are not used often enough, leading to more cases of STIs and unplanned pregnancies. But now a revolutionary new design may be able to encourage safer sex. A British biotechnology firm has developed an innovative product popularly known as the 鈥淰iagra Condom,鈥� named after the drug with which it has no association. Known clinically as CSD500, the condom is lined with a vasodilating gel to increase blood flow and help maintain erections. The Viagra Condom isn鈥檛 meant for people with erectile dysfunction; its real purpose is to encourage men to use condoms more often. Firmer erections also prevent condoms from slipping off and causing accidents. Though still waiting for regulatory approval, this condom is projected to reach the market in the near future.
