A ‘scrotal condom’ has been developed to cover the entire crotch area during sex, to lower the risk of catching sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Scroguard is worn with a condom and reduces skin on skin contact, lowering the risk of catching infections like herpes or genital warts which are transmitted through contact with skin.
It has been designed people who want extra ‘peace of mind’, men with a high sex drive who enjoy sexual variety and couples and individuals who ‘love to swing’, developers said.
STI’s are transmitted through unprotected sex, genital secretions, skin-on-skin contact or contact with open sores. Normal male condoms are designed to stop a man’s semen from coming into contact with his partner, and can protect against STIs when worn properly.
They protect the skin around the penis, but leave the scrotum and pubic region uncovered. Made from rubber latex – the same material as normal condoms – Scroguard covers the whole area, shielding the skin and blocking genital secretions.
