Viagra Condom Nears Approval

Forget about taking a pill. The Wall Street Journal reports that a new condom aimed at helping men who have difficulty maintaining an erection is nearing approval in Europe.

The "Viagra" condom, as it has been dubbed in the press, was developed by U.K. biotech company Futura Medical and licensed to the maker of Durex condoms. Research suggests that men who have trouble maintaining an erection are less likely to use condoms consistently and more likely to have unprotected sex.

TheWall Street Journal says Futura Medical has yet to confirm if it will move forward with plans for FDA approval stateside. Unlike Viagra, the condom is not intended for men with erectile dysfunction in general, but for men who have trouble maintaining an erection while wearing a condom.
