India rattled by vibrating condom
By Jyotsna Singh
BBC News, Delhi
A vibrating condom has sparked a fierce debate in India, over whether
it is a sex toy - which are banned - or a means of birth control.
The controversial condom has caused outrage in the state of Madhya
Pradesh, because a government-owned company is involved in marketing
it.
The pack of three condoms, branded as Crezendo, contains a
battery-operated ring-like device.
Critics say it is in fact a vibrator, and should therefore be banned.
Sex toys and pornography are illegal in India.
'Ultimate pleasure'
The condom was given a low-key launch across the country three months
ago. At that time many critics failed to notice that it had government
backing.
A promotional message from the company, Hindustan Latex Limited,
describes Crezendo as a product that "provides ultimate pleasure by
producing strong vibrations" .
That has caused an outcry among many in conservative India, including
the Madhya Pradesh minister for road and energy, Kailash Vijayvargiya,
who argues that it is nothing more than a sex toy.
"Sex toys are banned in India and the vibrating device is nothing but
a sex toy being sold as condoms.
"The government's job is to promote family planning and population
control measures rather than market products for sexual pleasure," he
told BBC News.
The Hindustan Latex company says that the new condom was launched to
promote the use of condoms in order to prevent the spread of Aids.
'Personal choice'
"The product was launched with the primary objective of addressing a
fall in condom usage... A major reason cited by users was the lack of
pleasure when using condoms.
"So we added the vibrating ring as a pleasure enhancer. It helps to
hold the condom in position besides producing a vibrating effect,"
company spokesman S Jayaraj told BBC News.
The company says the condom pack, priced at 125 rupees ($3, £1.50) has
been "well received".
It has strongly rejected allegations that its product is a sex toy,
but has offered to withdraw the product from Madhya Pradesh if the
state government asks for it.
Hindu hardliners have held protests asking the government to ban its
sale, though most people on the streets of the state refused to be
drawn on the matter.
But those who were willing to discuss such a sensitive issue seemed
broadly supportive.
"It is wrong to protest against the move. It is a matter of personal
choice," Kunal Singh, a resident in the Madhya Pradesh capital,
Bhopal, said.
Medical store owner Ravi Bhannani said: "Customers want something new
and this pack offers something new."
