Ringtone inspired musical condoms

U.S. patent holder of the Force-Sensitive, Sound-Playing Condom, Paul Lyons of Southbridge, Mass., has found a way to combine tried and true prophylactic technology—your basic condom—with piezoelectric sound transducers—think old-school cell phone ringtones—to create the first musical condom. The Kansan reports.

Though it would look and function just like a regular condom, this invention would also allow the user to record a song, message or sound effect to the tiny chip contained in the base of the condom. This sound would then be played on a loop when the contacts of the circuit are closed during use, and the transducer is “activated by forceful movements.”

The recorded sound could be anything from a romantic message, a clip of your partner’s favorite love song, or the dirty talk you’ve been thinking to yourself but hadn’t yet got up the nerve to say out loud. If it doesn’t go over well, you can just blame it on the condom.
