Bill Gates is on a mission to make safe sex better. Gates' foundation is offering a $100,000 reward to anyone who can come up with a plan for making a more pleasurable condom that more men will actually want to use, NBC News reports. Condoms are cheap and effective, the foundation said in a statement, but they also decrease pleasure for men. "Is it possible to develop a product without this stigma, or better, one that is felt to enhance pleasure?" it asks.
To snag the cash, applicants will have to come up with a proposal for a "Next Generation Condom," or technologies that might help in such a thing. From there, they'll have to show a clear testable hypothesis and data to move on to potential Phase II funding—which could net them as much as $1 million. The hope is that more widely used condoms could reduce the spread of AIDS in places like Africa; the new designs must be inexpensive enough to work in "a developing world setting."
I think your best bet is to keep it zipped. OK. Where’s my money?
A better condom would be one that is body sized to fit a pint-sized little NAZI named Michael Bloomberg. Complete with eye and mouth slits.
Q: Why is it that Africa is the only place on earth that AIDs is spread through heterosexual sex?
Hint: Because it’s not spread through heterosexual sex!
I wish he would have spent a bit more money on Windows.
In the mind of a true liberal, that’s the answer to aids. No true liberal would ever think of telling the natives to practice heterosexual monogamy.
“condom that more men will actually want to use”
How does he propose to put a life size model of Kate Upton in a vending machine?
Better yet, how about a condom that stops working, and when you call for help they say, “may we suggest you do a clean install.”
Lots of these guys would like to see a condom that would entice any woman to have sex with them.
BCOP - Blue Condom Of Pleasure
Some of it thru homosexual sex. Some through heterosexual anal sex. Some because sores from untreated STD's readily allow transmission of HIV from women to men.
Margaret Sanger looked for a better condom too, and she ended up sleeping with the inventor of birth control pills.
Better condoms? Bill, is that one of your priorities? Well, maybe with more enticing condoms that do not hinder the pleasure factor, there will be less women saying “Who’s my baby daddy?”
i thought this guy was supposed to be giving zillions of dineros to good causes like fighting cancer or eliminating smallpox?
Want a condom that is 100% effective against AIDS? Simply, design it to burst into flames when it comes into contact with fecal matter.
Because anal sex is very common, whether man-man or man-woman. Apparently prostitution is wide spread and practiced by a large percentage of married women, but anal sex is the norm in such situations for reasons either birth control or a weird sense of propriety.
Kinda defeats the purpose, don't you think?
This is a reminder to me that being a billionaire is a curse from God. What a shallow and empty life this man leads.
“...The hope is that more widely used condoms ...”
Multiple use condoms????
This is retarded.
There must be a dozen companies that already make condoms and have an interest in achieving the goals set out in this proposal.
The proposal suggests that these companies are not or haven’t dedicated their entire enterprise to making their product more “user friendly”.
And they have tens of millions of dollars for R&D.
