The rubber, the goalie, the love glove, the salami sling. No matter how many adorable monikers it gets, no one really likes condoms very much.
But that all might be about to change, at least for dudes. Durex has a new condom out that promises to enhance erections with a gel inside the tip that contains Zanifil. The over-the-counter drug boosts blood flow in the penis, which leads to firmer, larger and longer-lasting erections for men who might find that condoms dampen their enthusiasm for doing the deed.
Zanifil is frighteningly based on the chemical nitroglycerin, which relaxes the muscles in blood-vessel walls, therby increasing blood flow — which actually makes sense because that’s how it helps people not have heart attacks. Zanifil also employs a delivery system that allows medicine to permeate the skin quickly.
And there’s something to look forward to! Futura, the company that makes Zanifil, is also making a topical spray that helps delay ejaculation, which should be available in the United States next year. It’s all around good news today for penises.
