This is lighthearted and silly – but interesting as well. And yes, it’s true. UK company British Condoms has unveiled the i.Con condom – which is actually not a condom, but an adjustable lightweight ring that fits around the base of a penis.
“Have you ever wondered how many calories you’re burning during intercourse?” its website says. “How many thrusts? Speed of your thrusts? The duration of your sessions? Frequency?”
The device measures all these variables, and syncs the data to your phone so you can evaluate your ‘performance’. If you’re the competitive type, you can also compare your data with your friends or other wearers around the world.
It will retail for £59.99 (AUD$97) when it goes on sale later this year.
