Boost: 'Viagra condoms' will help men with erection problems during sex (posed by model)
Designers found that large numbers of men complained that they struggled to maintain erections when using conventional condoms in sex.
Manufacturers lined the new products with a gel that is used to treat angina by increasing blood flow to the heart. Instead, more blood goes to the penis.
The makers say that men who use the condoms reported firmer and stronger erections that lasted longer with their partners.
It is hoped that the new product will reduce the spread of STIs by providing an incentive for men to use contraception. They could also prevent condoms unexpectedly slipping off.
However, the beneficial properties may also attract male customers who want to use the contraception for recreational purposes to improve their sex life.
The product, called the CSD500, could be on the market in the UK within a year after it was said to be close to regulatory approval.
James Barder, from makers Futura Medical, sad: 'The challenge is having a stable product in a condom — a gel that doesn't do anything detrimental to the condom.'
