now men with erectile problems are targeted with new 'Viagra condom'
Boost: 'Viagra condoms' will help men with erection problems during sex.
Men who struggle with erectile problems when they use contraception may have a breakthrough with new 'Viagra condoms'.
Designers found that large numbers of men complained that they struggled to maintain erections when using conventional condoms in sex.
Manufacturers lined the new products with a gel that is used to treat angina by increasing blood flow to the heart. Instead, more blood goes to the penis.
The makers say that men who use the condoms reported firmer and stronger erections that lasted longer with their partners.
It is hoped that the new product will reduce the spread of STIs by providing an incentive for men to use contraception. They could also prevent condoms unexpectedly slipping off.
However, the beneficial properties may also attract male customers who want to use the contraception for recreational purposes to improve their sex life.
The product, called the CSD500, could be on the market in the UK within a year after it was said to be close to regulatory approval.
James Barder, from makers Futura Medical, said: 'The challenge is having a stable product in a condom ? a gel that doesn't do anything detrimental to the condom.'
He said that immobilizing the vasodilating gel inside the condom so that it only touches the wearer during sex was' the clever part'.
'Some products can degrade the latex very quickly. It has to be immobilized in the condom,' he told the Wall Street Journal.
Researchers found that men had previously avoided using condoms because they caused them to suffer with erectile problems.
Unlike the blue Viagra tablets, the condom is not targeted at people who have erectile dysfunction and impotence.
Instead, it will help people who find condoms difficult to use.
Intimate: Many men were found to avoid condoms during sex as the contraceptive devices caused them to lose their erections.
The gel which lines the inside of the products has previously been used to increase the blood flow to the heart for people who have angina, which causes chest pains.
By directing more blood directly to the penis it was found that users were able to maintain stronger erections during sex.
The product will target men who avoid condoms because they experience adverse effects, such as losing erections.
The manufacturers said that the product could also reduce the number of cases where a condom slips off during intercourse.
In both instances, it is hoped to reduce STIs and unwanted pregnancies.
