What Condoms Would Look Like In Future [Funded By Bill Gates]

Bill Gates is funding the condom of the future

Even if you don’t normally associate Microsoft founder Bill Gates with intimate thoughts of sexy time (and if you currently do, who am I to judge?), that could soon change. The tech CEO-turned-philanthropist gave $100,000 to the University of Wollongong in Australia to develop a “next generation condom…made to act and feel more like real skin,” as project engineer Dr. Robert Gorkin describes it

Instead of latex, the technology uses a “hydro-gel,” which looks suspiciously like Saran Wrap but would “preserve or enhance pleasure” during intercourse.

It’s all part of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s initiative to fight the global spread of HIV by designing a condom that men are more willing to wear. See the unrolling video below:
