While writing the headline for this post (based on the title of the source article over at Gizmodo) I sat for a minute and realized I couldn’t remember where the “just the tip” joke came from. “It was a movie, right? Or like, a TV show? Or a standup comedian? OH MY GOD I’M LOSING MY MEMORY I AM OLLLLLD.” Finally, I accepted that I wasn’t going to be able to remember the source of this UNIVERSALLY KNOWN QUOTE, so I Googled it.

WEDDING CRASHERS. DUH. DUH! How did I forget that? That movie just came out like…

9 YEARS AGO! That movie is almost a DECADE OLD, YOU GUYS! AUUUUUUUGH.

Okay, anyway, back the real news:

According to The Daily Dot, via Gizmodo, an “LA condom revolutionary-hopeful” Chris Powell has come up with an idea for a new type of condom that would allow for ultimate sensitivity – because it covers, in the words Jeremy Grey, “just the tip.”

Basically, the device has two parts: a U-shaped polyurethane adhesive film base, and a little cap that sticks to the film. The base can be put on the tip of the penis hours before sex, so users can shower or urinate with it on. The cap then slides on top of the base, covering only the tip of the penis so the ultra-sensitive coronal ridge and shaft are exposed.

Below, a video that demonstrates the condom cap (NSFW, OBVS):

The Daily Dot points out that this condom wouldn’t help prevent many STIs, which can be trasmitted via skin-to-skin contact, but if you’re just looking to prevent the baby-makin’, keep an eye out for the IndieGoGo funding site, coming this Sunday.

What do you think of this just-the-tip condom? Would you be interested? Let us know in the comments!
