By Mariela Govea* : The foundation of Bill Gates launched a competition to improve the prophylactic industry.
It ´s been a long time it was missing some kind of innovation in regards to the condom industry. And I do not mean innovations, for example, such as, condoms flavored with chocolate or strawberry, which already are in the market.
. What I’m talking about is that, is that a radical change is needed, in both the product, as in the image and the impact of these changes in the minds of the consumers.
I mean, besides improving the quality of condoms, and make them closer and friendl
y to people, it is needed to associate condoms to a positive message to people around the world.
And it was Bill Gates who came to launch a competition to develop a project. As I see it, not only condoms will be approved, also, it will have a major impact on global health, reducing unwanted pregnancies and reducing the possibility of transmission of all types of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS.
The monetary incentive offer is tempting: it will be paid up to $ 100,000 for the winning project, and then, even, is the possibility of a million more.
There are already several companies working on it: a company in California would be developing an origami condom designed to create feelings of pleasure, while researchers at Washington University are creating a high-tech condom.
In order to choose the best project the idea of including an action plan that can be tested and based on real evidence is needed ..
One of the conditions is that consoms should be easier to be used, something that we, as sexologists would greatly appreciate, and, it would also help us to make our work much easier in the future..
Among the other conditions are a nice design and a better pack
How would a condom designed by Philippe Starke would look like, in case he participates ? Who knows?
But above all, I think the most important thing , along with a new campaign that reinforce the positive message that should be associated with the use of condoms, would be the of the taboos and cultural barriers that still exist, all over the world, although it is difficult to believe . In that sense, in no way would be accepted projects that could increase the price of condoms, as condoms are suitable for developing countries with low income per cápita. As I see it, , will be awarded the Rolls Royce of condoms accessible to all .
Sure, and easier to use, it iwould be desirable that the new condom were organic, re-usable, recyclable, technological and why not? Even with colored lights, if possible …. well, that would allow the user experience to be more enjoyable for couples.
Long life to condoms.

And this is for Ms. Mariela Govea.
Dear Ms. Mariela !
You have changes in your life, sometimes peace sometime strife. But the fact is that the world is a stage where both man and woman play their role. Along with man, woman also plays an important role in the progress of society. It is impossible to generate the world without woman. It is impossible to imagine for humanity in her absence, she is a mother, a wife, a beloved, a goddess and also a devil. Nobel peace prize winner Desmond Tutu said- ‘If we are going to see real development in the world, then our best investment is women.’ But to create the world as a cordial and blissfulness life style joining the hands among the men and women, there are many difficulties to move ahead. Love is the most way of wishing well each other. According to the famous psychiatrist S. Freud- ‘Love is simply the want of attachment through which man obtains means of pleasure and preservation which are his fundamental needs.’ But the sexuality and raping cases are the great hindrances in all over the world.
The world is changing as a monsters house where we can find only devils and criminals in the name of love. The conversation, talking, touching and seeing between the male and female is the starting of love and then will start the sexual action who takes the role of sexual crime. Human have been taking knives in their pockets for sexual criminality. Exactly-‘A honey tongue a heart of Gall.’ All the government sources and tools are used to achieve private ends. Even if government employees and these politicians work, they do not work without bribe. Somebody say-‘The best proof of love is trust.’ But, how is it? After all, it may be betrayal. Because, all the men and women use the tactic-‘each cheat the other, each need the other’ to fulfill their vested interest. But, the reality is that women are biased against other women. Due to these jealousies, the discrimination between men and women is becoming a never lasting problem. So, in the context of love, conversation and sexual activities, there arouses the psychological disturbance.
‘No one invented sex or love, but they’ve always been one of the greatest spurs to human inventiveness. Making ourselves sexually attractive is not just a modern obsession. Our ancient ancestors were just as obsessed with inventing new ways of looking good and turning each other on as we are today. For example, Pharaoh’s slaves once went on strike because they ran out of makeup. And, fashionable Roman women used to smear themselves with gladiator sweat. And, when it comes to finding ways to improve our sex lives, our ancestors came up with a good many inventions modern man has only just rediscovered. The female condom, the pregnancy tester and use even the oral contraceptive. Believe it or not, they’re all ancient inventions.’
