Christened the i.con, the British Condoms said its latest invention is able to collect very intimate data about the sex life of anyone who wears it.

That is not all, according to the Africanspotlight.com, the i.con has the ability to detect sexually transmitted infections and also send data about a sex session straight to the wearer’s smartphone.

As if that was not enough, the smart condom is also able to measure the number of calories burned during intercourse, the speed of a man’s thrusts, how long he lasts and even what positions are used, according to africanspotlight.com.

Lead engineer for the i.Con Smart Condom, Adam Leverson is seriously upbeat about the innovation. He said “It’s here and it’s beautiful. We wanted the i.Con to look refined, non-intrusive and lightweight – the finished article is nothing short of any of those things.

“There’s a lot of tech packed into the i.Con and for us to be able to deliver it in such a way that there is absolutely no hindrance to the user was our main goal – and I think we have gone above and beyond with the i.Con to make sure of this.

“I’m just so happy that we can now share the i.Con with the world!”

Adam Leverson added that i.com is waterproof and “extraordinarily flexible to ensure maximum comfort for all sizes.”

What is equally interesting about the smart condom is its illuminating feature that makes it light up the genitals of the partners involved in the sexual intercourse.

Spokesperson for the British Condoms, John Simmons said “We’re extremely excited to share with the world the first glimpse of the i.Con Smart Condom Ring due to go on sale in the UK in January 2018.

“It’s truly the next step in wearable tech and we believe we have pioneered a product that will not only bring an extra element of fun into the bedroom, but will also help indicate potential STI’s present as well as prevent condom slippage, a leading cause of unplanned pregnancy in the UK.”
