LA-based Charles Powell invented the Galatic Cap Pregnancy Prevention device after his friend contracted HIV.
The Galatic Cap Pregnancy Prevention is designed to cover the tip of the penis and leave the long shaft exposed and it comes in two parts, a polyurethane adhesive film and the cap that stay on top of the penis to trap the out rushing sperm.
Mr Powell says that the polyurethane part is like a second skin and can be worn for several days without taking it off, He said you can even wear it while urinating and bathing.
He explained: When a man wants to have sex, he peels off the paper backing on the cap and sticks it to the polyurethane to securely bond the two and trap semen. He insists the device, which is transparent, will stay on for the duration.
He believes his product will solve the age long problem with condoms , the lack of sensitivity.
However critics have come out to suggest the condom wont help stopping the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
A clinical director Jason Warriner told Mail Online: 'This will not prevent the spread of conditions such as HIV or herpes as the whole penis is not covered
'It may be suitable for a couple in a long-term relationship but not as a barrier to STIs. 'There is also the risk that the cap may leak, exposing semen.
