Here's A 'Smart Condom Ring' That Tries To Track Your Sexual Performance
The i.Con is “a ring that will sit over a condom at the base, which you can use over and over again. It is extremely comfortable, water resistant and lightweight.” (It better be water-resistant or even bleach resistant because you may want clean it over and over again.) It is also “wearable” technology, which can connect to an app on your smartphone, using what the web site describes as a Nano-chip and sensors. This wearable doesn’t track the number of steps you take unless you are walking in a really weird way. Instead, the web site explains that for £59.99 the i.Con will be able to record:
Calories burnt during sexual intercourse: On average, 100 calories per session, according to a University of Montreal study.
Total number of thrusts: Is this like the number of steps? Is there a daily limit that you want to achieve?
Frequency of sessions: Do you really need a wearable to tell you that you just had sex? Was that sex or just a firm handshake? And if you really need a wearable to count the number of times you are having sex, then you are probably having enough sex.
Total duration of sessions: Or maybe you can what’s called a clock.
Girth measurement: Big data?
Speed of thrusts and average velocity of thrusts: Sex is not pitching in baseball. Faster is not necessarily better.
Different positions used (currently BETA testing – will have more info in a release coming soon): How exactly will this be measured?
Average skin temperature: Not sure what this information tells you. Although if it drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or above 200 degrees, you probably need medical attention.
