Rapex - good or bad?

Basq · 2005-11-27 17:01:44

Rapex What do we think? Quite an interesting new development against sexual assault. Can't see it catching on really though! (no pun intended! :eek:)

Ehlers, who showed off a prototype on Wednesday, said women had tried it for comfort and it had been tested on a plastic male model but not yet on a live man. Production was planned to start next year.

Any volunteers?

How does that work?
Can she take it out? I mean, she'd probably warn the guy who's about to rape her that she has it. What if he forces her to take it out, at knifepoint?

Might it not make the rapist píssed enough to become a murderer?
Also, I could see them becoming a good way to get revenge on somebody.
The possibilities for sick jokes are also endless of course!

Don't see how it would preven sexual assault unless you also carry around a big flashing sign saying that you're wearing it.

Won't this just cause rapists to go for the brown door instead?
A chastidy belt and a can of mace is all you need really.

it says it "hooks onto" the skin of the rapist..

Ehlers said the “rapex” hooks onto the rapist’s skin, allowing the victim time to escape and helping to identify perpetrators.

i would presume it comes out then, since its attached to the man and the woman can escape.. so theres at least one way to get rid of it..

Surely if this actually did become in any way common, would be rapists would just perform a quick check with their fingers first. In which case the woman would be sure to receive a sound thrashing.

No thanks mate. Several years ago I slept with some old trout from South Africa and when I went for my routine medical the following week the Doctor told me I'd caught kudos.

Hey wait a minute! :eek:
