Not long ago, the Gates Foundation did a study on how to make condoms in
such a way to give a more sensual feeling. When many folks heard about
this, they thought it was a waste of money, and an unfortunate blight on
such a great foundation which has done so many great things for
humanity. The reality is I completely disagree. I think it is a great
idea, but folks who are shortsighted may have lost some of the
philosophy involved here or the reasoning behind it.
Likewise, the Gates Foundation caught flak for having a contest to design a better toilet. The parameters were simple for the contest; it had to be easy to mass-produce, inexpensive to make, and made from materials of various types found in regions throughout the world. They did find a perfect design, one which was adequate, and one which people would use. This means the ground water will not get contaminated, and there will be less disease spread amongst very poor populations.
After all, it costs quite a bit of money to bring in drugs to help people who have bacterial infections, and other problems, it's much simpler to figure out a way to keep the water clean, and dispose of the human waste which is getting into the groundwater or the drinking water in that case. In many regards the concept of designing a condom which allows for a more sensual feeling is completely a wise idea. Why you ask? Because the number one reason many men do not use condoms, is they don't like the way it feels.
Of course it doesn't feel real, it is artificial after all, and it's made of unnatural polymers, rubber and plastic. Well, here's the deal, if we don't solve this problem and more people don't start using birth control we will continue to spread diseases, and create more babies which we cannot afford to feed, as the human population goes out of control. Yes, an important topic as you can see, and on this subject there is a very good book you might like to read;
"Humans: An Endangered Species - The Only Solution" by Jason G. Brent, Self-Published, Las Vegas, NV, 2012, 121 pages, ISBN: 978-0-9854129-6. Now then, when it comes to birth control and the use of condoms the author states the following;
"Any argument in support of voluntary birth control, regardless of how well supported by history, facts, or numerical projections of reality, must first and foremost overcome every single pronate all religious, cultural, political and personal believe and lifestyle choice of everyone affected. History has shown us without fail, that the human race, in mass, is simply not sufficiently evolved socio-intellectually to the degree needed to accept and implement the changes required that would ultimately work in humanities own, collective, long-term benefit."
Okay so, he says it very bluntly, but what if the Gates Foundation is able to find the perfect condom, and what if they are able to make those condoms available for everyone? If everyone uses these there will be fewer births, less disease, and healthier humans. Maybe it is possible after all, maybe we need to get this one right, and maybe everyone who's giving the Gates Foundation flak for looking into this problem ought to think the problem thoroughly through before making their comments. Please consider all this and think on it.
