Science: Health: Condom
Asymmetric condom   (+4, -4)  [vote for, against]
made of a double-layered latex/viton membrane

This condom is made of a special fused double membrane which consists of latex on the inside and viton on the outside. (viton is an elastic version of teflon).

The advantages: high friction coefficient on the male side, which prevents it from slipping off, and low friction coefficient on the female side, for better lubrication.

Viton, like most rubbers, has a high coefficient of friction.

I actually like this idea, regardless of the particulars.

Viton has a high heat resistance, but you know that old joke:

If you're smoking after sex, you're probably doing it too fast.

//Viton, like most rubbers, has a high coefficient of friction.//

But I believe it's lower than latex. (correct me if I'm wrong)

PS. since you say "most", do you know of any rubbers that have a low coefficient of friction? I'd be glad to know.

Oooh....I don't even want to think of the chafing on the inside...
