With the introduction of the smart condom, smart technology has just become a lot more personal.
The latest device, dubbed i.Con, has some useful features, such as the ability to detect STIs, but it also has some potentially alarming ones.
The i.Con, like a FitBit, monitors the data and can provide users with a deep dive into their bedroom stats, including session length, frequency, and even global comparisons with other users.
During your sessions, i.Con will calculate and remember a variety of different variables using a Nano-chip and sensors, according to the product summary.
Once your session is over, you can retrieve your recent data using the i.Con app, which is connected to the computer using Bluetooth technology. The i.Con will automatically clear its memory after you have downloaded your results, making room for your next session.
The device's name is somewhat misleading: rather than being a condom, i.Con is a rubber ring that fits around the outside of a regular condom.
The i.lead Con's engineer Adam Leverson told Metro, We needed the i.Con to look refined, non-intrusive, and lightweight – the finished article is nothing short of either of those elements.
There's a lot of technology packed into the i.Con, and our main aim was to deliver it in such a way that there was no hindrance to the consumer – and I believe we went above and beyond with the i.Con to ensure that.
