  • The Ultimate Male Prophylactic


    WASHINGTON (AP) -- A new polymer coating holds the promise of guarding against infections commonly spread by bacteria lurking on things like telephones and door knobs, researchers say.


    "You could coat any type of surface with this material, and it would be there permanently," said Joerg Tilleer of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "It is chemically attached so that it cannot be washed away."


    In a study appearing Tuesday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Tiller and his co-authors said laboratory tests show that the coating, called hexyl-PVP, was able to kill up to 99 percent of Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas and E. coli, all common disease-causing organisms.


    No more shaggy lambskin or constraining latex for me!  I'm getting my coating of PVP (PreVentable Penis) or is it (Penile Venereal Prevention)?? !!
