*not a hoax, this is a genuine product that is about to be trailed in South Africa. I can see why there is a demand for it, but it just comes across as so barbaric. The devise is worn like a tampon, and when the female is attacked, it hooks onto the male penis using sharp barbs – and can then only be removed by surgery.... Have a read.

As a general rule, I tend to win when it comes to debating… this post however (made in response to my pornography article on the REPEAT message board) has me stumped:

 >> But by defending it, you have in effect taken all of the fun out of it! Have you read straw dogs by John Gray:

"  Morality as an aphrodisiac: A sense of guilt may add spice to otherwise unremarkable vices. There are undoubtedly those who have converted to Christianity because they seek an excitement that mere pleasure can no longer supply. Think of Graham Greene, who used the sense of sin he acquired through converting to Catholicism as an aphrodisiac. Morality has hardly made people better; but it has certainly enriched our vices.

Post Christians deny themselves the pleasures of guilt. They blush at using a queasy conscience to flavour their stale pleasures. As a result, they are notably lacking in joie de vivre.  Among those who have once been Christian, pleasure can be intense only if it is mixed with the sensation of acting immorally. "

Any ideas for a rebuttal ?
