Yes, edible condoms do exist.
What are Edible Condoms?
Edible condoms are novelty items that are designed to be eaten. They are not intended for contraceptive or STI prevention purposes.
Key Characteristics:
- Flavor: They come in various flavors, making them appealing for consumption.
- Use: These condoms are applied the same way as a traditional external condom, and then they are intended to be licked or eaten off.
- Purpose: They are solely for novelty use and should not be used for actual protection against pregnancy or STIs. The reference "Edible external condoms are available in a variety of flavors. To use, roll the external condom on as you normally would, then lick or eat it off. Edible external condoms are for novelty use only. They do not provide any protection against pregnancy or STIs." clearly states this.
Important Considerations
It is crucial to remember that:
- No Protection: Edible condoms do not provide any protection against pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- Novelty Use: These items are intended for entertainment purposes only.
- Misuse Risk: Using edible condoms for actual intercourse risks pregnancy and/or transmission of STIs.
