Is this the condom of the future? It’s called The Galactic Cap. “A southern California-based inventor, Charles Powell, is planning to revolutionize the condom industry with his new prophylactic condom device which fits only on the very tip of the penis, allowing men to feel maximum pleasure while practicing safe sex.”
Powell, who has been working on the condom for over two years, explained that his friend’s death from HIV inspired him to invent the “penis helmet” condom.
According to LA Weekly:
It’s a two-piece product that uses a U-shaped base comprised of a polyurethane adhesive film and a cap that sticks to that film.
The base can be put on hours or even days before sex, and it allows users to urinate or even shower.Powell says that it won’t come off during sex and that it will successfully trap semen. “It leaves the coronal ridge and shaft exposed for more powerful orgasm,” he told us.
The device could be a game-changer, but Powell says it needs FDA approval first. And that takes money.
He told us he had investors lined up, but when he lost a contest to receive a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, they got cold feet.

Yeah… I don’t see this flying with the FDA. This seems completely outrageous, and unrealistic. This doesn’t count for rough sex, STD transmission. What happens if it falls off in the middle of sex? How about we practice safe sex with a normal condom, backed up with some birth control.
