Sex Robot Discovers Why A Condom Breaks

WHY does a condom break? Because it got old and fell to bits? The Durex “coital model” (sex robot) at SSL International’s Cambridge Technical Centre investigated why a condom breaks. Results were published in Contraception:

Evidence combined from examining returns, questionnaire responses and the coital model strongly suggests a single predominant mechanism of failure we named “blunt puncture,” where the tip of the thrusting male penis progressively stretches one part of the intact condom wall until it ultimately breaks.

CONCLUSIONS: Blunt puncture appears to be the mechanism of breakage responsible for more than 90% of condom breakage not attributable to misuse. Knowledge of the main mechanism of breakage should help develop better user instructions, better test methods and, ultimately, better condoms.

Conclusion: if you have a large metal penis and want to impregnate a rubber insulated box, take care…

“Male condoms that break in use do so mostly by a “blunt puncture” mechanism.”
