| Feb 28, 2013 at 11:58 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | It turns out, according to the WIkipedia article, that this device was never put in production and made available for purchase. Therefore, I have voted to close as "Too Localized". The answer to the question isn't relevant, as the product doesn't exist. | |

| Aug 2, 2012 at 14:14 | comment | added | vikki | In the event that this product becomes popular, won't rapists just result to checking if the lady is wearing one, and possibly get more aggravated on finding out that she is? | |

| Mar 30, 2012 at 6:56 | comment | added | user6582 | I haven't seen one of these devices in person, but unless the base ring at the opening is made of very sturdy metal, I would think a small bolt cutter or diagonal cutter could cut the ring, then scissors could cut the sheath. Then it is off! No doctor needed. | |
| Mar 18, 2012 at 12:32 | comment | added | Rincewind42 | Wouldn't the man just loose his erection and the device then just fall off? | |

| May 22, 2011 at 15:07 | comment | added | Darwy | @Konrad I'm trying to picture the logistics of how a woman is going to get away from her attacker when he's now laying on top of her screaming and about to choke the @)(#* out of her for causing him pain. Then again, if she knows any self defense techniques, she could do more than just incapacitate him while he's er... distracted. | |
| May 19, 2011 at 23:41 | comment | added | Rory Alsop | I can foresee lawsuits - usual arguments - the attacker says it was consensual, "then she attacked me m'lud and due to the injury and trauma I'll be asking for major damages! " | |
| May 18, 2011 at 8:59 | comment | added | Konrad Rudolph | @David There are actually some claims that this does, in fact, incapacitate the rapist. It may make him furious but who cares, if he’s incapacitated long enough to let the victim flee? | |
| May 18, 2011 at 3:31 | comment | added | David Thornley | @Lagerbaer: I was once at a rape prevention class. The instructor said there were three levels of violence: nonthreatening, threatening, and incapacitating. He strongly recommended not doing anything in the second category. This won't incapacitate the rapist, but will make him furious. Bad idea, for victims who want to live. | |
| May 17, 2011 at 20:59 | comment | added | Lagerbaer | Another quite likely thing to happen is that the aggravated rapist seeks immediate revenge on his victim. | |
