Instead of having to engage in actual sex in order to discover the presence (or lack) of disease, why not use the same hypothetical material to make a glove that can be used to administer pre-intercourse inspections (cleverly disguised as foreplay)?

Take this idea to ask.science

I have a feeling that it will get shot down pretty easily with regards to actual feasibility.

bluntmonster · 9 months

People with STDs just wouldn't wear condoms. Might make things a little more dangerous.

SERIOUS RESPONSE TO SOMETHING IN /R/FUNNY:

As a chemist, I'm pretty sure this would make condoms cost about triple what they do now, even once there's the technology to do this. If anyone's interested, I can go into what would actually be involved.

But what few people realise is that you can get chlamydia from your eyes..

(The bacteria loves moist places on your body, hence why it lives in vagina/dick and also eyes, but not mouth)

TubbyCustard · 9 months

What about mood condoms? Condoms that change color depending on your emotional state?

calvinvle · 9 months

Think about the awkward moment when you pull out and your dick is purple. You'll look into her eyes and tell her to get the fuck out.

How would you know if it came from the "wearer" or the "wearee"?

SquireOfFire · 9 months

No it's not. False negatives.

"Oh, guess I don't need it then!"

Also, false positives would ruin the sexytimes needlessly.

I think you're better off just using normal condoms.

This reminds me of an awesome idea for an invention that I heard Adam Corolla talk about many years ago on Lovelines.

He said that someone should invent a tube of antiseptic liquid similar to those used in old time barber shops to store combs. The liquid would kill any virus or bacteria. So if you have a questionable bareback experience you could buy one of these things, break the seal, and dunk your cock and balls into it. Put the lid back on it and throw it away.

While great in concept, this is rather impractical in implementation. STD clinic nurse here.

The main problem is that it would only theoretically work with viral STD's, such as HIV. The latex of the condom would have to have a small pad integrated in it which would contain a simple eliza test, which would react if HIV is present. Then, additional pads could be added to test for different diseases. For reference, the clinic I work at pays about 20 dollars each for these tests.

The issue is that bacterial infections, which are far, far more common in the western world, cannot be tested as easily. Generally, patients are treated by symptoms, as opposed to by testing (Results of tests are gathered after treatment starts). Confirming a bacterial infection typically involves microscopic analysis of the sample, as well as proper staining to see if the specific bacteria can be tested.

TL;DR-Sounds cool, but it really wouldn't work and visually wouldn't be as appealing as our collective imagination makes it. It'd look more like a urine dipstick than a tie-dye shirt.

I have the weirdest colored boner right now.

Thugnificint · 9 months

I'm taking credit for this.

mOdQuArK · 9 months

What color does it turn if there are multiple STDs. Goes to a multi-color pattern? Plaid? Paisley?

calrdt12 · 9 months

The only better way, IMHO, is a "dipstick" that show which color your dick will be if you were to get a particular disease. Red and blotchy, solid green, maybe a light yellow. OR... An STD bio dye pack if you will. If there's a disease, it goes off and warns the next guy or disappears with an antibiotic/antiviral treatment.

I work in healthcare and fully endorse this idea.
