A CONDOM that keeps men aroused in bed — just like the sex pill Viagra — could soon go on sale in Britain.
The contraceptive holds a chemical which increases blood flow.
Makers hope it will prove popular with romeos who find love-making with condoms a flop — and make them more willing to practise safe sex.
The product, currently known as the “condom safety device” CSD500, was designed by scientists at Futura Medical, based in Guildford, Surrey.
Chief executive James Barder said: “Research shows at least two per cent of condoms slip off during intercourse. A major reason is that at times men don’t remain fully aroused.
“Around 13 billion condoms are used each year, so there’s a lot of scope for unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections.”
If regulators approve the CSD500, it could be available in UK chemists within 18 months.
