The ‘Inflating Condom’ Is Something That You Hope You’ll Never Have To Use

A Chinese entrepreneur has invented a new condom for men - directed especially at those with small penises - which doubles as a prosthetic, boosting ‘the sexual pleasure value’.

According to Metro, the condom - which is currently in design - fills up to make the person who is wearing it feel and look larger downstairs. 

The invention is currently in the patent stage and if successful means that it can be produced without being copied by other companies.

Now on to the hard-(sorry)-hitting question of how it works. 

The condom goes on as usual and then a strap is put around the testicles to stop it from falling off during sex. 

There is a 'sandwich layer' which can be inflated or filled with various kinds of material to make it larger while also sustaining that erect feel. 

The inventor of the new condom said that the ones currently on sale do not make a man feel "mighty"

"Condoms do not help enough the hardness of the penis to meet the needs of a female and improve the technical issues of sexual pleasure value. This condom will increase the thickness, rigidity and length of the penis," they wrote in their patent.

It's the first time that someone has come up with a condom of this kind but would it be a success if launched?
